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.

Mail Delivery!

I was lucky enough to receive two parcels today . . . my Lady Alice and four new backdrops! So I quickly dressed Alice in a random wig and clothes and snapped her saying "Hi!" to her pet crow. :)

The lighting needs adjusting I know, but I really wanted to share her before I took off for the weekend. I'll be back on line Tuesday, hopefully with some better photos.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Monday

Daisy and Maisie

My little sisters tried on their new dresses and shoes today then took their "baby" for a little walk in the pram. :)

Face ups still need to be done and I'm still not sure about Daisy's wig (it's a bit too brown). I also think I need low dome eyes for her, as they are leaving a little gap between the eye and the resin.

Cardigans, in the same colour as their shoes are being made for the cooler days.

What a Slacker!

I have really been off the grid this past week, well at least from here. However, I have been busy elsewhere, re-doing my website and looking for someone special to add to my "family". As luck would have it, I think I have finally found her!

I have wanted a Peak's Woods blue/grey Lady Alice FOF V.F. for a long time, but always seemed to just miss out on getting my hot little hands on her. Until now that is. I have at last found one, she will come without wig and clothes, but with everything else (box, cushion, certificate etc.).

I will change her eyes, as I would prefer the ones that were shown in the PW's pics or at the very least I'd like something similar. A new wig will need to be ordered and I will dress her in clothes more appropriate for a Vamp.

With luck, she will arrive next week!
