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.

While the Cat's Away

I have some time to myself this week, so I began by sharing it with a friend. We had a lovely day, playing with her very lovable dog Teddy (I could have quite easily brought him home with me), chatting about our dolls and practicing with my new camera.


These were both taken in dappled shade and I am pretty happy about the way they turned out.


And here's a picture of Teddy!

Unbelievable Week

Yes, it most certainly has been and unbelievable week for me this week with so many deliveries, so many in fact it's been hard to keep up. Yesterday 14th Nov, my Radicelle arrived and she is just delightful (still have to put eyes in) and my Little Centaur arrived on 11th November. I say he/she because the mold is Hansel, but I think with the long wig he makes a perfect girl.


I wish I had more time to concentrate on sewing and photography so I could do these new arrivals justice and show them off properly. With any luck, I should be able to take further photos next week with my new camera.

New Arrivals!

It seems like forever that I have been waiting for this parcel to arrive from Denver Doll, but my patience (or should I say impatience) was finally rewarded today and Ante couldn't wait to see what was inside.


ANTE: Heavens to Betsy, there's an awful lot of paper in here!
ME: Well sweetie, it's good that they have protected the boxes inside from damage.


ANTE: What's this face doing here without the rest of the head and no body?
ME: That's a freebee Ante, Fairyland had an event running when I ordered your sisters.


ANTE: Oh look Ma, isn't she a darling. She has lovely tan skin, I wonder if she's been spending a lot of time in the sun?
ME: Yes, I think she will be a wonderful addition to the family. No silly, that's the colour skin she was born with. 


ANTE: Oh I see I have another big sister too! She's very pretty and what beautiful big blue eyes she has.
ME: All the better to see you with my dear. Come on Ante, let's get these girls dressed we can't sit around here all day, we don't want the girls to get a chill.
