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.

Sunday

I've been a naughty girl, again!

I have been so good at not ordering any dolls lately, but a doll got the better of me this morning. After looking at the wonderful Dollmore Narsha's on Flickr, I couldn't contain myself any longer and ordered a basic Zihu. I really love her little pinched nose.

Not being fond of black lines on the lips, I chose to order her blank. Not sure if I will do her face up or if I will ask someone else to do it for me.

Haven't chosen a name for her yet either, but she will probably tell me when she arrives. :)

I also ordered a few accessory items like eyes, some candy, a Tikan Kimono Set (but not for her); white shoes and socks, as well as a lovely carrot coloured curly wig.

The New Bath

Hollow: "Hey Mossy, come look what I found!!"

Mossy: "Oh dear Hollow, you're gonna cop it now! Misty will hit the roof!"

Misty: "Get out of that bath Hollow! Can't you see by the size, it belongs to the PukiFees?"

Hollow: "Geez Misty, how was I supposed to know? I just thought it was a bath big enough for all three of us to bathe in."

Mossy: "Told you so."

Monday

Tempest

After deciding to keep my white ImplDoll Gela and incorporate her into my story as an Ice Troll, I have finally added sparkly lilac eyes and a white wig. It was difficult trying to find the right look I wanted for this Troll and doing her face up and blushing her hooves will be a challenge too.

Once again, I used Ultrasuede to make her a tunic, which I trimmed it with white gimp braid, adding a belt with a gold buckle at the waist. She is going to use Teno's mace rather than the bow and arrow that came with her set.

I shall probably make her some pumpkin pants to wear underneath the tunic, rather than a skirt, as I want her hooves to show, just need to look through my stash to find the perfect fabric to compliment the tunic.
