My Doll Haven: Mia

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.

Another New Arrival

Mia Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

I have sweet pea and anemone,

And sunflowers all in a row.

I finished her pretty pink dress last weekend, but had to wait until today for Mia to arrive, before I could take these photos.

Mia was also sculpted by Australian doll artist, Liz Frost (Wizworx). Both Fifi Muffet and Mia Mary are 13" tall, have simply the best posing abilities and are probably at this stage of my collecting, the most loved of all my BJD's.

I find them a good size to handle and dress, beyond easy to pose and wonderfully photogenic to boot!
