I've been back in classes for about 2 1/2 months now and I'm starting to settle into the workload. I've been able to make some pretty significant progress on my printable sire/dam list (download on sit has not been updated) which should allow me to speed through adding horses to this site. I've toyed with the idea of coding an HTML site, which I might return to when I have the time, but I've left it for the time being considering how much of a mess my website has been lately. I'm hoping to get most, if not all, of my horses updated and added to this site by the end of the semester so that I can be ready to start the new year fresh. This will (hopefully) include me breeding forward any pensioned horses so stay tuned!

Materials UsedMy list of materials is below. Yes, there is a lot, so I tried to include where I used them so if someone wants to repeat my methods, you can. If you want to try your hand at doll room making, all you need to get started is a pair of scissors (ideally small and very sharp), some glue (tacky glue or craft bond are best), and maybe a pair of pliers or tweezers. A craft knife (such as an X-ACTO blade), cutting mat, ruler, and set of beading pliers are also very useful.
Years ago, I came across videos on YouTube of people making doll rooms from kits available online. After months of watching these videos, I decided to take the plunge and try out making a doll room for myself. My first attempt didn’t go very well – the lights didn’t work very well, wallpaper was peeling, and my miniature books were far from readable, but that didn’t stop me from trying again. My next attempt was a much bigger success and I wanted to figure out a way I could display these rooms better. It wasn’t long before I found out that the doll rooms are 1:32 scale and fit stablemate foals perfectly! This second attempt won me 4th place at the BreyerFest Youth show and won at Palmetto State Live in 2019. When I decided to attend Palmetto State Live in late 2020, I knew I had to make a holiday-themed Doll Room, this one was even better than my previous ones and once again, showed successfully and was just super fun to make – my boyfriend even helped make the adorable snowman included! This year, I decided I would challenge myself and make 2 doll rooms; not only that, but I decided to finally splurge and make the camper trailer that I always see people make on YouTube.

My new computer could not have come at a better time. Starting on Tuesday night, my computer was being incredibly slow and when I restarted it, it stopped recognizing one of my SSDs. Eventually figured out that the power cable running to the SSD had died; that and my power supply in general was a little sketchy. Well, my new computer has just about everything upgraded except the graphics card. I’m hoping to upgrade the graphics card later this year when prices drop. New computer is working great and so far, I’ve had no issues!
