A Bunch of Random Updates & News!

Published April 25, 2016 | By ~Jaclynn~

Hi everyone!

I’m sorry it’s been a week since I posted – again. I was really busy last week and I’m afraid that this will be the only post this week because the Hillside Craft Fair is this weekend!!! That means that pretty much all my spare time is going to crocheting. I’m SO excited for Hillside!! A part of me wishes it was today and the other part of me is like – no way! You are not prepared, get to crocheting! XD

I’m working on a Sith Cloak right now. I had to take it apart twice so I’m a bit behind on that, but I’m hoping to finish it by tomorrow and get started on the Jedi Robe 🙂
I made a Princess Leia Dress and I have a Han Solo Dress in the works. I can’t wait to show you all my new stuff! 😀

Also, I just sold a Rey outfit on Etsy!! YAAAY!!! I really needed that right now. With Mother’s Day and Emma’s birthday coming up – I didn’t know what I was going to do 😛

(I didn’t want this to be a picture-less post, so I thought I’d put this one in I took a week or two ago. It makes me think of A Bug’s Life 🙂 )

Onto the news – I’m a part of a collab blog!!! That makes *mumbles to self – LHOAG, LMF, He Rights My Wrongs…* Okay, that makes 4 blogs that I have to post on! Wow – I never expected that! XD
Grace (The Girl Upstairs) asked Emma, Clara, Bella, and I to be a part of a collab blog with her. It’s called The Elven Realm of Writing, so please check it out! It’s all about writing, elves, and books. We don’t have any posts up yet, but there’s a welcome post and most of the about pages are complete 🙂

Alrighty, are there any more updates….?

OH! I got a furniture piece for my dollhouse last week!! I can’t wait to show it to you all! 😀

I think that’s about it. I know this was very random, but I hope you found it interesting! XD

What are you (or your dolls) up to lately?

I really want to see how your dollhouse is coming along! Do you plan on doing a post about that sometime? 🙂

  Yes, definitely! It’s just that I don’t have good lighting for it yet, so I’m waiting to buy some lights and carpet for it before I post it. My dolls and furniture are sticking to the bottom so carpet is desperately needed 😉

  P.S. I’ve been praying for you and your family. I hope everything is okay 🙂

Nice updates! Sounds like exciting stuff! I can’t wait to see the new collab blog!

I haven’t been spending as much time with my dolls lately, but I did have a lazy day yesterday so I got some of them changed and took some pictures. I’m gonna be doing a teen program at a homeschool convention this weekend, and then my brother and I are going with my grandma to Hawaii for a week! I’m debating the possibility of bringing a doll for some awesome pictures. 😀 So that’s what’s going on with me… 🙂 Btw I love the picture! It’s so simple and bright! Lol I hadn’t seen A Bug’s Life for years but I watched it with my bro a few weeks ago. 😀

  Thanks, Julia! I’m glad you enjoyed my updates 😉
  
  Oh, my! You’ve got a lot of excitement going on right now! I think you should definitely bring a doll along for some pictures. My sister went to Hawaii and the pics she got were gorgeous!
  Awe, thank you! That’s so funny that you just watched Bug’s Life! I’ve been wanting to watch that movie lately… 😉

That sounds so fun! Crafts, crafts, and more crafts, as far as the eye can see… 🙂 Are there usually any Star Wars crafts? 😀
Oooo! Jedi robe! I can’t wait to see it, and the sith robe. 🙂 😉 Even though I don’t like sith.
He he, I love Etsy sales. You must have a lot of crocheting to do! 🙂

  It is fun! Hmm… I think there are usually a few things… I was never really looking for it before, but I definitely will be this time! 😀
  Thanks, AGDA! I’m not a fan of the Sith either, but I knew I needed to make it… Unfortunately… XD
  Me, too! Don’t you just love hearing the “CHA-CHING” when you sell something? Yes, so much crocheting to do and so little time to do it 😉

Yay! Congratulations on selling another Rey costume 🙂

How cool about the craft sale! I hope you sell a lot of outfits.

I saw you mentioned a “Han Solo Dress”, so I was curious: do you plan to make a girl version of his outfit, or did you mean just a regular costume? 🙂

As for what my dolls and I have been up to, we’re planning for our trip to the AGP tomorrow 🙂

P.S. — I'd also like to apologize for not commenting in so long! For some reason, as I think I've mentioned before, sometimes your posts don't appear in my Blogger feed 🙁
I'm really sorry about that!

  Thanks so much, Shelby-Grace! 🙂
  The Han Solo Dress is going to be a girl version of his outfit. So the same colors, and it’ll have a vest, and a belt. I was actually inspired to make it when I got my own Han Solo Dress made by Her Universe! It’s AMAZING! 😀 Here’s the link if you’d like to see what it looks like:

  Oooh, how fun! Will you be bringing a doll home with you? 😉

  P.S. Oh, it’s okay! I totally understand; don’t feel bad 🙂

I hope you sell a lot of doll outfits at Hillside Craft Fair!! 😀 Oh, also, I’m really looking forward to seeing an update on your dollhouse. 🙂
I’ve been enjoying the warmer weather, and this weekend I did two photoshoots outside! 😀 I’m looking forward to summer, because I’m tired of school work. I don’t want to do it anymore! XP

  Ah, yes, I know… It’s taking a long time to complete it, but hopefully I can share about it in May 🙂
  Oh, yay!! I can’t wait to see your photoshoots! 🙂
  And I know what you mean about school… XD

My dolls are moving. Yes, the place they were living in was crowded so….

How much are Rey outfits, out of curiosity?

  The Han Solo dress has a blue skirt to represent his pants, a black belt and vest, and an off white-ish top. I’ll share pics soon! 🙂
