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.

Coconut Ice

I thought I would introduce another of my favourite creations. This is Coconut Ice from my Tasty Treats Series, who is now living comfortably in San Francisco, California USA.


She is made from a wonderful English mohair, that is quite dense and certainly unique. Unfortunately this fabric is no longer available due Norton Weaving closing it's doors in November, 2006.

I enjoyed working with this fabric and lucky for me I purchased several metres. I intend to make similar bears in each of the other colours...so you can look forward to seeing a Peppermint Pattie and a Caramel Creme in the not to distant future.


Enjoy your Sunday!

Lace, Roses and Romance


I thought I would post a photo of some gold painted boxes with lids that I covered in silk and lace and finished with hand made ribbon roses. It just goes to show that all the hoarding comes in handy from time to time!

The little bear is a new addition to my Romantic Series which I will be posting on my website a little later today.
