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.

Seven years ago I issued a challenge to celebrate 20 years of the modern BJD, that I had also done three years previously. As things have be...

Shh Quiet I'm Sleeping

Just kiddin'. :) Things have just been a little slow getting from the studio to my blog of late. As it often happens, life gets in the way so things get put on hold for a short while.

I did attend a Doll Show recently and managed to catch up with a few dolly friends, but once again the camera was the last thing on my mind as I rushed out the door, so no pictures taken there, sorry. I did pick up some lovely trimmings and a couple of new wigs for my Rogebell hybrid. Also added another elf doll to my collection, but I'll do a proper post on her later.

Of course I have also been doing more sewing, it appears I have a bent on striped stockings and arm warmers, I can't seem to stop making them!


I've ordered more striped fabric so there will be even more colours and stripe widths to choose from. I will be making for SD, MSD and Iplehouse BID sizes for now, but will add more to my Etsy store as I progress with sewing. There will be several different styles - stockings above knee and thigh high, tights and leggins.


These black & white stripes are modelled on Volks SD13 body.

Hybrid Dressing

I have just finished another outfit, this time for my Hybrid (Napi Rogebell head and Volks SD13 Cyndy body) but still haven't finished the dress I was supposed to be working on.


Pale aqua and ivory stockings, pale aqua long legged undies,
a dress made from printed Japanese lawn and plain lawn,
with a ruched bodice and three tier skirt,
it has arm warmers in the same fabric as the stockings
and added puffs in the plain lawn,
so as you can see, it can be worn a couple of different ways.


My little Hybrid is yet to be named and have a face-up, but all in good time. :)
