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.

PukiFee Wigs

Today I attempted to make a couple of wigs from some faux fur I had hanging around in my studio. It's probably not the right sort of fur, but I had fun with it just the same.

This pink one reminds me of pink eucalyptus blossom, which makes Ziorina look more like Snuggle Pot or Cuddle Pie. :)

Not sure about this one at all!!

They are really quite simple to make and I will probably have another go down the track with different fur. And next time, I will remember take progress photos so you can see how easy it really is.

Trick or Treating

"Hi there! My name is Lillian, but you can call me Little Lilly."

"My Seamstress made me this pretty dress to wear on Halloween, I think it's really purty. I don't have any shoes to wear yet, so I'm gonna ride my trike when I go trick or treating."

"So do you wanna come with me?"

Pixxie Twinky

My Iplehouse Pixxie Twinky arrived today, which was a little bit of a surprise as I only received the shipping notice on Monday. EMS sure have been on the ball lately. I quickly dressed her so as she was not running around in the raw, and I am not sure whether this wig will stay or not . . . only time will tell. :)
