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.

Verity Delamore-Larkin

After two years of debate with myself over my lovely Napidoll Rogebell head, I made the decision to part with her. I really wanted to finish my Steampunk girl, Verity Delamore-Larkin and complete her outfit, but every time I looked at Rogebell, and as hard as I tried to imagine her as Verity, her face just didn't fit the character. I am kind of sad because I really loved her sculpt. Unfortunately, she was a large head with an extremely young face and all my youngsters are tiny dolls.

Her sale however, has allowed me to purchase a head that will be perfect.

Of course there will be a long wait before she arrives, but I have waited this long so another few months shouldn't deter me at all. (Famous last words, I know I will be chaffing at the bit to get her.)

In the meantime I will be searching for just the right wig, I love the way this one has been pulled up, but my gal will be wearing a hat, so I will have to wait and see what eventuates.

Of course now I am not at all sure how the head will fit on the body I have on hand, so that may well be another challenge for me down the track. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get her completed, but I am determined there will come a day when I can finally introduce my pièce de résistance to you all.
