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.

Switcheroo

Just a few days ago I bought this modified PukiFee Bonnie off DOA, to hybridise my Iplehouse Pixxie Twinky

As much as I loved looking at Lilly's sweet round face when I first got her, her head drove me crazy! It was far too heavy for her slight body and slumped forward every time I tried to pose her, which eventually meant she became somewhat unloved.

Anyway to cut a long story short, the PF arrived today and here are the results.

The resin is far from a perfect match, but when she is finally dressed the way I want her, it won't be at all noticeable.

And I am seriously thinking this one could well turn out to be a dear little boy!

Our August Adventure

No story for you this month, sorry! Time has been far too precious and there has been much going on here; new dolls being ordered, a small Elvin creature arriving and a new home being built, I have hardly had time to scratch myself!

However, in saying that, we did have a few moments to vote for who would take part in Heather's AC photos this month. After considering all the transportation we have on hand, and listening to Misty Dell's insistence that her Elvin transport was the best we finally gave in to her.

Misty: See I can ride side saddle, giddy-up horsey giddy-up!!

Tic Tock I'm Not a Clock

Found these yesterday at Wooja for just $7.50 each and they are a perfect size for my PukiFees kitchen!

They really are digital clocks, but how cute are they as doll props? There was a refrigerator there as well, but of course it was RED and not entirely suited for the PukiFees green and yellow kitchen. I suppose we could always re-decorate, but I don't want to get side tracked from completing the Tree Stump.

And wouldn't you know it, a small parcel arrived while we were out, so I was up, showered and dressed in good time to pick this little sugar pie up earlier today.

She's such a little cutie, the tan is simply gorgeous and I just love her face with her freckled nose and lips puckered ready for a kiss. Now she needs some clothes to wear. :)
