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.

My Little Aviator

I had this fabric with the face of a female aviator on it, don't know if it was Amelia Earhart or Amy Johnson, but little Marie Ann got it into her head it would make a great Steampunk dress . . . and so the seamstress was once again commissioned to sew and sew!

Now she wants these boots to go with it!!

Needless to say, the seamstress has ordered both pairs. :)

Thursday

On A Roll

Yes, I have been at the sewing machine again...and am loving every minute of it! This time a three piece set, or should I say THREE three piece sets. :) I bet you're getting sick of seeing me here.

All available from my Etsy Boutique!!

Strapless...What a Hoot!

I bought a few pieces of fabric recently that had a Christmas theme. Though they were not really traditional, I thought they would make up into great dolls clothes.

This Santa capped owl fabric inspired me to make this little strapless number for Marie Ann to model.

I also thought this gingerbread men print was cute and colourful.

It is now available from my Etsy Boutique.
