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.

Happy New Year!

Well after a long time away, an operation and recuperation, I've finally been inspired to return to dolls. However, before I share my inspiration I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families.

Finally Gotz have brought me a red-haired doll that's not a Hannah. This lovely Celtic doll from the Scottish highlands has pale green eyes, natural cheek contours and full lips. She is an original sculpt by Elisabeth Lindner for Gotz.

She is 50cm (19.5") tall with a full vinyl multi-jointed body. Edda wears a black & red plaid skirt, white top, a belted denim short jacket, socks, black sturdy boots laced with red ribbon, head scarf and comes with her own black Scottie dog, lead & collar.

I've ordered her from My Doll Best Friend, so it will be a little while before I can hold her. However, I do have a little one to keep me busy for now. I pre-ordered her back in August and she arrived sometime in October, but I only opened her today. She is a Gotz Little Kidz Rainbow . . . I'll share more about her later on my other blog.
