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.

Feeling Impish

Have you ever wondered what you may be called if you were an Elf, a Hobbit or a Fairy? Well one day when I was feeling a little bored, somewhat mischievous and curious . . . I went looking HERE and I found out my Elvin name is Alassë Helyanwë (thought this was a very strange coincidence, as I have a blogging buddy called Alassë), my Hobbit name is Prisca Foxburr of Loamsdown and most importantly my Fairy name is Feather Goblinwand.

Feather Goblinwand is a bringer of riches and wealth, who lives in high places where the clouds meet the earth and she is only seen when you hold a four-leaf clover. She wears pale blue like the sky and has gentle green wings like a butterfly.


I thought perhaps I may look a little like this wee fairy painted by James Browne.

The winter fairy painting below (also by James), I purchased for myself at Christmas a few years ago . . . I think she is beautiful and enjoy having her keep me company in my studio. James has some lovely prints and paintings for sale on his website . . . CLICK HERE if you'd care to see them.


I have also long been keen on pencil illustrations, as well as pen and ink . . . I may even get round to resurrecting a few of my own to show you one day!

Naughty Boys

Wi and Pi were most concerned about the safety of Mossy and Hollow, they tried their utmost to coax them own off the roof, but boys will be boys!

Misty was so disgusted, she just shook her fist and threatened them with a good beating if they didn't get own immediately!

It's not often that Misty gets mad, but when she does, you had better watch out! I certainly don't want to be around when she gets her hands on these two!
