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.

Iplehouse Fashion

I received notification last Thursday that my garment order from Iplehouse was on the way and it arrived today. So my sweet Irene will have clothes ready for her when she arrives in June. The pretty skirt, blouse and cardi outfit looked so delightful on Irene in the photos, that it was a must have and I will team it with the brown boots.

I also bought the little sleeveless shirt and honey coloured jumper knowing full well they are meant to be boy clothes, but teamed up with the right skirt they will look just as lovely on Irene.

Two other parcels arrived at the same time, the first included a little pair of white shoes and the other my steampunk Pullip - Aurora.

Not as happy as I should be with the costume, it's very PLASTIC, so I guess in time she will probably get a new steampunk outfit.

EDIT: She has since been sold.

A Customising Piece

I've been wanting an elf doll for ages, however it had to be one I could customise myself. So this lad with white skin (no makeup, wig or clothes), is on his way and should be here before the girls.

I want to give him much longer hair and style it similar to Legolas from Lord of the Rings. Now begins the search for the right wig that will suit my purpose.

Shopping

Couldn't resist buying these the other day. I chose the blue one for my Nadia and also bought two pairs of shoes, one pale blue, the other white.

This little red one should look lovely on my yet to arrive Lolly. Of course I couldn't have Lolly going barefoot so a pretty red shoes with bows was added to the basket too.
