My Doll Haven: Daisy

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.

Sisters

The girls received new shoes today, but Maisie was a little unsure about them. She had become quite attached to her lilac ones, even though they didn't match her new knitted dress.

Daisy is reassuring her that she can always change back to the lilac shoes, next time mummy changes her clothes. I wish I'd had a sister like that instead of a big brother. :)

They Are Here!

Yes, my girls have their faces back! I was a little disappointed with the fit of the wig I bought for Daisy and of course her original eyes didn't fit the eye wells as snug as they should have. So rather than wait for a new wig, I took two little snips in the back with my scissors and managed to get it on her fat little scone. Then the temporary replacement eyes, that I thought would be far to aqua, didn't look as bad as I thought they would once they were in, so I decided to leave them in for now and when the new Safrin Glacier ones arrive, we shall see which actually suit her best.

If you click on the photo and "open link in new tab", you will see the wonderful detail that is in these little faces (including those famous little "teefs") . . . I simply love them to bits!

Monday

Daisy and Maisie

My little sisters tried on their new dresses and shoes today then took their "baby" for a little walk in the pram. :)

Face ups still need to be done and I'm still not sure about Daisy's wig (it's a bit too brown). I also think I need low dome eyes for her, as they are leaving a little gap between the eye and the resin.

Cardigans, in the same colour as their shoes are being made for the cooler days.

The Other One

Here's the iMDA Babette that arrived on Monday. She has no face up yet, which makes her look a little ghastly, but I will get to it soon.

The wig and boots are probably staying, however, I am not sure about the eyes. Initially I was thinking I'd go with blue and although I quite like these hazel ones, they seem a little big so I may see how I go with the 14mm blue ones when I can find the pair I put away for her. You surely know the story ~ put them somewhere safe and now can't remember where the safe place is!!

I did have a design in mind for her clothes, but it keeps evolving! So heaven only knows what this doll will finally end up looking like. :)

I do hope you are all having a better organised week than I am having, my mind is all in a muddle and I feel like a dog chasing it's tail.

Hugs to you all,
