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.

Creating Seraphine (Part 2)

Two more parcels arrived today, the fabric which you have seen in a previous post and this wonderful wig!


It matches her eyes perfectly and I love how they have mixed and blended the colours. The top being a mix of gold and cherry with it graduating to just this beautiful rich cherry red. I couldn't have wished for a more delightful wig for my Fire Sprite!

Now the fabric ended up being completely different colour to what was shown on the screen and thank heavens for that!! It's much more blood red than tomato and when layered with the black fabric it will make a gorgeous gown.

I do wish her body would arrive though, so I could give this one back to Coco!!

New Beginning for an Old Body

So far, I only have a body, it arrived on today 13th March. However, it's probably better to have received the two separate parts in this order, as I can begin making her costume while waiting for the head to arrive.

The BID's Arrived Yesterday

I ordered these little girls sometime back and they arrived yesterday. I have named them Ebony & Ivory and will be perfect accompaniments for my sweet Harmony.

Efreet and Elin sculpts with IH face-ups.

Their outfits & wigs are from Iplehouse, but the shoes are from Mimiwoo and I made their knee sox myself. Mind you, I did have a minor hiccup . . . in my rush to order them, I accidentally ordered BOY BODIES!!

Now I am going to need to order some boys with girl bodies, so I can swap them over . . . then finally my little girls will have some boys to play with. :)
