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.

Grocery Give Away is All Over Rover!

Well it looks like this idea was a complete flop as only two have actually followed the rules,
so the haul will be divided between the two of them!
Congratulations Rachael and Barb, your parcels are on their way.

-oOo-

I'm looking to pass on some tiny props, so if you have BJD's and would like some grocery/household cleaning items to add to your collection, simply add your name in the comment section at the end of this post, then post an interesting photo of your dolls on your blog, with a link to this post

There are three prizes to be won, which will comprise two smaller boxes of items for runners up, as well as a larger box for the best photo. The give away will run for 14 days and winners will be contacted, via their blogs.

PLEASE NOTE: Winners will need to use my "Contact Me" form at the bottom of my side bar to send me their addresses, if I haven't already got them. :)


I've added a photo of my Littlefee and Pukifee, showing some of the goodies, so you will be able to see clearly that the items are not in any particular scale, however, you should be able to use different pieces to suit the various sizes of your doll/s.

Good Luck! Big hugs, X

Who's a Winner Now?

Well here's the latest on the knitwear give away . . . hubby pulled Alejandra out of the hat last night, so Miss Fantasywoods, you had better let me know your address quick smart if you want me to knit a violet/lilac jumper for your YoSD girl and get it in the post to you before Christmas! :)

CONGRATULATIONS!

Winter Knitwear for BJD's & Give Away

The jumpers are made using a basic pattern and a little "artistic licence", so no two will be exactly the same. The yarn is 2ply wool and they all close at the back with a zipper. The hats, (which are quite stretchy to go over a wig, as long as it's not too boofy), are just made up as I go along. They can be made to any length, depending on whether one wants to cover the ears or not.
 
 
Antoinette modelling a little striped number with matching hat.

 
This short sleeved lacy set was made for Nadia my Luts KID Delf.

 
Lime set for boy or girl BJD.

 
Golden set for Littlefee, Iplehouse BID or Dollzone BB.

 
Wren modelling a jumper and hat in a lovely tobacco brown.

 
Finch in Lime . . . I actually finished this set before we went on holidays.
 
WIN A SET FOR YOUR DOLL
 
If you would like to win a set made especially for your Littlefee, Iplehouse BID or Dollzone BB, you need to follow my blog and add a comment on this post stating what colour you would like.
 
Each person will receive one entry only and I will draw the winner on 30th November, so you have plenty of time to enter.

We Have a Winner!

Congratulations Isabelle!

I'm so pleased to announce you are the winner of the Ladybird dress that I am wearing.

Please ask your human Sam, to use the "Contact Shop Owner" button here in my Etsy Boutique to send me your home address, so that I may post it to you pronto!

I do hope you will like it and that it fits you as well as it did me (I am rather skinny you know).

Hugs,

Ladybird, Ladybird, Fly Away Home . . .

Is this little ladybird dress going to b flying home to you? Yes, I am having a give away!

Ooops! These shoes are a little big for me.

There are many variations of this old English nursery rhyme (1744),
but this version by Helen Ferris (1957) is my favourite.

Ladybird, Ladybird, fly away home
the field mouse is gone to her nest
the daisies have shut up their sleepy red eyes
and the birds and the bees are at rest

Ladybird, Ladybird, fly away home
the glow worm is lighting her lamp
the dew's falling fast, and your fine speckled wings
will flag with the close clinging damp

Ladybird, Ladybird, fly away home
the fairy bells tinkle afar
make haste or they'll catch you and harness you fast
with a cobweb to Oberon's star.

It inspired me to make this little Ladybird dress for my sweet Little Lilly, but I had enough fabric to make two!

But my Ladybird dress is very pretty.
So, if you would like your girl to own a ladybird dress like this one, just leave a comment and follow my blog and you'll receive an entry to WIN THIS LITTLE DRESS which fits an Iplehouse Pixxie.

Good luck to you all, bye!
It will be drawn in two weeks time and results will be published here on 1st November.
