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.

New Arrival

After a longer than expected wait for her arrival, my Fairyland Bisou finally came yesterday. No fault of her previous owner, I might add. The doll was in Oz on the 12th, but for some unknown reason it took 6 days to get from one side of Melbourne to the other. Her previous owner was kind enough to send her with eyes, hair and dress, but I had something special planned for this little one.

The wig is one of the new ones I ordered from Leekeworld (LR092) in Lavender Rose, the shoes I bought from eBay, the dress & undies I made, and the cardi was from Etsy quite some time ago.

Not sure whether to keep the eyes she has (they're a sort of green/grey) or try for another colour, perhaps something a little lighter, so I'd love to hear your opinions.

Little Sweeties

Took a few quick snaps of my girls today.

My little Cookie (PF Bonnie). Now how could you not love this dear little face (forget the lousy photography), she w came to me in May this year.

Dear sweet Lindt (PF Ante), my first Pukifee. I have had her for 20 months and love her as much now as I did when I brought her home. :)
