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.

Weekly Update

Well last week after looking at the miserably wet, freezing cold week that lay ahead, I decided to ship Maisie and Daisy's face plates off to warmer climes to be completed by Mallory (petitemarine on DoA). I just couldn't see the weather improving any time soon and I was becoming impatient to see them finished. The results she achieved with my PF Luna was better than I had imagined and I know she will do a great job with these two as well.

I had also ordered a grey/white wig for my latest arrival, who I have named Sybil von Raven, a carrot one to replace Daisy's brown wig as well as a special wig for one of my RealFees that are due beginning of August. These arrived yesterday and I am so pleased with all of them . . . thanks to For My Doll!

Had a great time catching up with my friend Diane (you know the one with all the "other types" of dolls) and I think I may have finally swayed her a little our way, as she's now thinking about purchasing a 65 or 70cm Iple House girl.

Have also finished an outfit for Sybil, using a combination of a fine black and lavender grey striped silk and lavender grey crepe. Now all I need for her is shoes, I rather like these HERE but they're a bit pricy, so I may have to keep looking.

Photos coming soon, so till next post, stay happy!

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.
