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.

She's A Must Have

Luts have just added a couple of the new Centaurs to their website and this little one is definitely a must have in my books.

Although she has the Hansel head (a male), to me she is so pretty as a girl and I love that she has a tan body rather than the normal skin colour (though no doubt she will be more expensive this way). I hope they have plenty of the wigs in stock too, the way they have combined the colours of this one is really different and seems to lend itself to the overall design.

Somehow I think she is the one centaur I will have to order as a complete item, so much for being on a dolly diet and there goes the dolly bank balance for the rest of the year!

A Little Nautical

I thought I would design a little dress with a sailor collar today. However, I didn't go totally nautical, because Marie Ann told me she wanted something pretty in the same fabric as Ziorina's new dress.

The collar is detachable, so the dress may also be worn strapless with a belt.

This week has been quite eventful on the dolly front, I finally ordered a tan PukiFee Vanilla and a LittleFee Luna to keep Marie Ann company. Later, I added a few more things to my Etsy store in the hope someone, somewhere, likes something enough to actually make a purchase instead of just adding it as a favourite.

Then just as I was about to log out...I spotted Singe! Yes, The Mushroom Peddler had not just one, but THREE unpainted ready for shipment. Knowing how quickly they go, I hit the buy button, I wasn't going to miss out on a Singe Dragon this time round! Now the dolly account is as bare as a baby's bottom...so it's back to the dolly diet for me...at least for a little while. :)

Discovering Flowers

My sweet little Ziorina has been modelling a newly finished dress for me today.

Here's a close up.
