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.

Seven years ago I issued a challenge to celebrate 20 years of the modern BJD, that I had also done three years previously. As things have be...

I'm So Excited

I just received a message this morning to say my sweet Nili 3 is on her way! YAY!

I also received a lovely email from "Sharon in Spain". I am trying to convince her to return to blogging, but she's concerned all her followers may have forgotten her, I need you to help me convince her she definitely IS NOT forgotten.

Now having completed the enormous task of adding all my 195 dolls to "Studio 1283", I am turning my attention to the 1:6 scale furniture pieces which I received for Christmas back in 2020. It's not like me to leave something dolly related in it's box for so long before opening it, but it's been a crazy couple of years, so I'm excusing myself this time.

I did manage to pull them out today and I'd forgotten how many pieces would need assembling . . . here come gluey fingers again.

It's going to take some time for me to assemble all of them as they are so fiddly. Perhaps I should paint the pieces first, well at the very least, the surfaces that face inside each of the cabinets etc.

Talking to you is not getting me anywhere fast, so until next time, have a lovely weekend!

Year of the Rabbit

Seems everywhere I look, I'm seeing "Year of the Rabbit" . . . so as the old saying goes: "If you can't beat them, join them" . . . so I am!

A Walk in the Garden

I've been meaning to take some photos of my 25.5cm (10") Cissette ever since she arrived and finally I did. She is a Madame Alexander Millennium Masquerade #26495, which was made in 1999, then retired.

She's a pretty five way jointed doll who is extremely well dressed, the details of her clothing are perfect right down to her white satin shoes and evening gloves. Her pearl trimmed, tiered gown is exquisite.



Her blue eyes close and her blonde wig is beautifully styled, there's not a hair out of place. The back of her gown is just as beautiful as the front. She is wearing a pearl necklace and earrings.



Well that's it for now, hope you all have a jolly dolly weekend!
