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.

The Dolls Have Arrived!

But I'm not allowed to play with them until Christmas Day. Of course that doesn't mean I have to wait until then to make clothes for them or purchase lovely, expensive, REAL LEATHER shoes & boots. It took me a little while to decide on the following, but they are on their way and I should have them next week.

Orange Wagner Sandals

Turquoise Wagner Boots

Fucshia Wagner Boots

Not sure who's getting what yet, except for the bunny slippers, they belong to my little curly haired Greta who is now wearing a pretty white lawn nightdress and a knitted dressing gown. I will post photos of her once the slippers have arrived.

Sophia's by Teamson

Purple Wagner Sandals

Gotz Sneakers

I also ordered some pretty corduroy fabric to make coats or maybe overalls for three of my dolls, two of which match closely with the Warners boots.



Well that's my news for now,. Anyone else being creative? I'd love to see what you're doing. 😘

Curious About Colours

I've been sorting out my wool and trying to decide which colours to keep and which to ditch. This got me wondering, when it comes to your dolls, which colours you prefer to dress them in?

PASTELS


Pastels always make me think of macarons, you know those yummy, yummies you have with a latte!

LIGHT BRIGHTS


Light brights are wonderful summer colours, the type that make you think of sun, sea and sand.

STRONG BRIGHTS


Fairly basic and mostly primary colours, but they are very cheery and probably remind me most of Christmas.

SUBDUED


There's nothing more subdued than old Victorian decor! Some shades almost border on dusty, but I find the colours very calming.

DUSTY

For some reason the dusty colours always remind me of Mia, possibly because she uses many of these colours when she sews for her dolls. 

NEUTRALS

Of course neutrals are what were featured on Emma in my previous post.
