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.

M & M

Wigs added and modelling two new dresses completed today, my two RealFee Maris are settling in. :) Not sure if they will keep these dresses, but they will wear something similar. I ordered shoes yesterday and hopefully will begin face ups next week.


I hope you are all having an exciting week, I will get to reading and commenting on your blogs soon.

Summer Style

I've been knitting like crazy for the past week. First, I made this top and pants set ready for one of  my new incoming RealFee Maris (modelled by Gaea) then a dress (not pictured) for a RealFee May.



Then my little cruiselings complained about being at sea with nothing to wear but their PJ's. So I couldn't have that, could I? That meant I had to knit tweleve more little dresses in their size. These are what I've done so far, of course at this rate, I'll still be knitting for another couple of days yet!

Ruffled Feathers

Sometimes, I wonder what some people in the doll world are thinking when they tell blatent lies? Do they think we are stupid and will actually continue to believe them? Do they think in these days, where the internet records everything, that they won't get caught out? Or is it that they just don't give a damn about anyone but themselves?

To be completely honest, I have had enough of it! Receiving repeated lies and rediculous explanations about delays in shipping dates, has put me right off buying dolls from two Korean companies (even though they have the most beautiful sculpts). They seem to have this attitude that once they get your money they can do and say whatever they like, because they know you can do absolutely nothing, but wait until they are ready to ship.

I don't think it's anyway to conduct a business, especially if they expect to receive further orders. They must remember this is a highly competitive field and there are many artists with the capability of producing beautiful dolls, who also care enough about their customers, to provide accurate shipping times up front. If these deceitful businesses continue to let people down time after time, they will soon find they no longer have a business.
