My Doll Haven

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.

Rocking the Night Away!

Today we are travelling back in time to the days of the Bobby Sox and Rock'n'Roll with a new design for my iMDA 3.0. I have just listed this two piece set on Etsy and hope it does well. Let me know your honest opinion of the style, okay?

The Other One

Here's the iMDA Babette that arrived on Monday. She has no face up yet, which makes her look a little ghastly, but I will get to it soon.

The wig and boots are probably staying, however, I am not sure about the eyes. Initially I was thinking I'd go with blue and although I quite like these hazel ones, they seem a little big so I may see how I go with the 14mm blue ones when I can find the pair I put away for her. You surely know the story ~ put them somewhere safe and now can't remember where the safe place is!!

I did have a design in mind for her clothes, but it keeps evolving! So heaven only knows what this doll will finally end up looking like. :)

I do hope you are all having a better organised week than I am having, my mind is all in a muddle and I feel like a dog chasing it's tail.

Hugs to you all,

Two New Arrivals

Yesterday evening, I was lucky enough to receive two new dolls, the first was my long awaited iMda Babette which I ordered without a face up (which I will show you later) and the second was a tan LittleFee Pipi girl with a default face up. I didn't quite know what to expect as I hadn't seen a Pipi as a girl let alone in tan resin, so I was quite impressed when I removed this little sweetheart from her box.

I am so pleased with her face up, it looks so natural. I have never been a real fan of pink lips and these suit her beautifully. The wig is just one from my stash and the dress one I purchased a long time ago, neither of these will stay with her as I have something in special for this little one.

I think I shall name her Pippin.
