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.

Disney Animator Princesses To Go!

After going crazy sometime back and collecting a whole range of Disney Animator Dolls, I have decided to let them all go to new homes.

I have since spent quite a bit of money re-dressing them all in their new outfits, the yarn I used is in proportion to the size of the doll and both knitting and sewing took many hours of work. Outfits with three or four pieces sell on Etsy anywhere between $30-100 depending on the quality, so I feel the price I am asking is quite reasonable.

The shoes were certainly not cheap either, the sneakers were around $25 (plus $9 postage) and the little hand made flats were around $20 (plus $10 postage) if you click on the link you will see them both still available on Etsy.

As I intended keep these dolls and simply re-dress them, I discarded their original boxes, so if you should purchase one, please be assured that although it doesn't have it's original box, it will still be shipped securely packed, via Australia Post International with tracking included.

Your doll package includes everything you see them wearing!

I am accepting AU$ 90 including shipping in Australia, or US$75 including shipping to USA, UK, and places in Europe that has tracking all the way. I accept PayPal payments and the dolls will ship to your PayPal address, so please ensure it is correct.

Grocery Give Away is All Over Rover!

Well it looks like this idea was a complete flop as only two have actually followed the rules,
so the haul will be divided between the two of them!
Congratulations Rachael and Barb, your parcels are on their way.

-oOo-

I'm looking to pass on some tiny props, so if you have BJD's and would like some grocery/household cleaning items to add to your collection, simply add your name in the comment section at the end of this post, then post an interesting photo of your dolls on your blog, with a link to this post.

There are three prizes to be won, which will comprise two smaller boxes of items for runners up, as well as a larger box for the best photo. The give away will run for 14 days and winners will be contacted, via their blogs.

PLEASE NOTE: Winners will need to use my "Contact Me" form at the bottom of my side bar to send me their addresses, if I haven't already got them. :)

I've added a photo of my Littlefee and Pukifee, showing some of the goodies, so you will be able to see clearly that the items are not in any particular scale, however, you should be able to use different pieces to suit the various sizes of your doll/s.

Good Luck! Big hugs, X

JR Again

After restyling her beautiful hair and dressing her ready for bed . . .

The joint at the top of the knee rotates and the other bends on a hinge below the knee cap.

The joint above the ankle rotates and the one below bends up and down.

Her wrists work the same way and the elbow has a ball and hinge combined. These are really peculiar joints, but so versatile, I think this gal is going to be a keeper for sure. I even like her hands!

Her hair is so silky and rooted nicely, so when you put the hair up, it looks very natural, no funny odd bits at the back at all. And wouldn't you know it, (aside from my rotten photography shadows) she photographs quite well. I am really beginning to love her face just as it is . . . there's a special quality about it . . . do you see it too?

Well that's it for me today, enjoy your weekend, I know I will. :)
