Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Boneka

Because of the very long waiting list for Dianna Effner's Little Darlings, someone suggested I purchase a Boneka doll. The original dolls were also sculpted by Dianna, and the replicas are available from the Boneka website. They are also a vinyl doll and the painting of them is modelled after Dianna's, yet they are not quite as beautiful as the ones shown below, which are painted by Joyce Mathews.

Tuesday's Child ~ was the first introduced to the doll world. She is 25 cm / 10" tall and has a head circumference of 16 cm / 6.29" without the wig.

Monday's Child ~ is 26.5 cm / 10.5" tall and has a head circumference of 6.7" with the wig.

These dolls wear Boneka doll fashion size 24 cm, hat size 18 cm and shoe size 38 mm.
As much as I wouldn't mind one, I think the stock dolls would either need a repaint done to give them that wonderful personality that the custom artists endow or wait until one of Joyce's became available for purchase.

I won't be around to read your blogs this weekend, my daughter and I are having a girls weekend away, to see this Exhibition at the Bendigo Art Center. Unfortunately there will be no photos of the Exhibition this time, the BAC won't allow cameras. :(


Hope you all have a great one! See you next week.
