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.

I'm a Hopeless Case

Here it is just a few hours into the new year and I have already added two more sweeties to my "Wish List", I just can't help myself . . . thank heavens my Blythe dolls are selling!!

I have been wanting a boy for some time and it seems Choco is it. I just couldn't pass up this face, he has such a gorgeous pout I just wanna kiss him.

Then I saw Rose and it was love at first sight! I am hoping that Fairyland bring her out as a basic, because as much as I love the Steampunk look they have given her, I would rather tackle a Steampunk design of my own.

3rd Jan P.S. I have just ordered Choco from DD...YAY!! Now the 12 week wait begins. :)

Quiet Time

I love the time between Christmas and New Year. It's always so quiet and relaxing, especially because hubby manages to take some down time. We have been to the movies quite a bit lately and even though the kids have been on school holidays the theatres have not been at all crowded, which I am grateful for . . . I like a bit of space around me.

Have managed to get a little sewing done, but not photographed anything as yet., I want to take my time photographing these new designs so they look their best. Usually I'm in a rush and end up with lousy photos . . . but not this time . . . it's my New Year resolution.

I did manage to sort out which direction I'm going with my Etsy store and listed all the Blythe garments as CLEARANCE items so if you are looking for clothes for your Blythe dolls, now's the time to make that purchase, because once they are gone that's it, I won't be making for Blythe any more.

As I probably won't be posting anything more till the New Year I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all my readers . . .

A Very Happy, Safe, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!

One More Sleep

Yes, just one more sleep till Santa comes. It's time for all the boys and girls to get ready for wonderful surprises in their stockings . . . if you have been very good you'll probably get what you have wished for, if you have been naughty, you'll find rocks in your stocking!! Well that's what we used to tell our kids when they were little. :)

From our house to your house, we wish you a very . . .

P.S. Do you think I could get these little tykes to all look at the camera at the same time? Not on your Nellie!!
