Time For Bootcamp!

So I mentioned earlier that Elisabeta and I were going to go to a bootcamp this summer.

Well, that's sorta true and sorta not true.

Here's the scoop:

Even though school is, technically over, it's time for me to sit down and really focus on reading those classics. I had this great idea to make a "boot camp" where I read a Shakespeare Play every school day! A mentor who I respect and admire very much suggested using one's summer break to do a big simulation. I decided to do a 'Shakespeare play a day.'

This will last two weeks, so by Monday the 8th, I'll have read at least nine Shakespeare plays.

I'm so excited! :-) ;-) :-)

The play I'm going to read today is "Henry V."

A New Craft

Not that sewing, crocheting, and all that other awesome stuff is boring, but I feel like it is time to master a new craft.

But what craft?

Perhaps making doll shoes?

Oui, oui!

So I found four cool tutorials on YouTube about making doll shoes, and I'm totally trying it out!

Tutorial for No Sew Janes
Tutorial for Basic Shoes
Tutorial for Ballet Flats
Tutorial for Sandals

So yeah, I'm excited! My first pair are probably going to be horrible, but I'm still pumped! Now Elisabeta will have millions of shoes in addition to millions of pieces of clothing. She's so spoiled... ;-)

But it's fine... she's going to boot-camp this year(more about that later! ;-))

Too Many Doll Clothes

I've been sewing wayyyyyy too much. My doll's wardrobe is huge and doesn't fit in its dresser drawer anymore!

But it's all so cute I can't part with any of it!

And I certainly don't want to stop sewing!

Oh and guess what... I'm going to get a serger! Squeeeee!!!!!!!!

And... since shopping in quarantine is super stressful, and I need some summer tops, I'm going to be making myself 3-5 shirts!

And yes, you guys get pictures... when they're done. I'm gonna go cut out the first one right now... ;-)

What I Did Yesterday

So yesterday, despite this being the week before finals, I decided to binge-sew and make a lot of doll clothes.

It was so fun... and super satisfying because when you are making doll clothes, you can finish them in 15-70 minutes. So much quicker than sewing clothes for myself!

I also made four shirts for my sister's dolls, Abby and Mia. Oh, and a skirt. But I already gave them to her so you don't get a picture. Next time I sew stuff, I'll make sure to take pictures before I give it away.

Meet My Doll, Elisabeta

Hey guys,

I want to introduce my lovely doll to you! Yes, I am a teenager. But who cares about that… here on my blog, I get to create the rules. So now it’s cool to have a doll when you’re almost fifteen. YAY!!!

Her name is Elisabeta Margaret and her birthday is October 22, because I got her on October 22, 2016. She is an American Girl Doll Truly Me. I had to pay for her with my own money so it took me over a year to get the $100+ needed. She’s a very prized procession. :-)

She likes reading and fashion and reading and hanging out with friends and more reading. Hmm... that's sounding kinda like me... ;-)

Here is a picture of her:

Guess what, I sewed those pants and crocheted her shirt. They both turned out very nicely, in my opinion. :-)

And another picture of her (and yes, I made this outfit as well):

Isn’t she darling?

Welcome!

Many people don't care about what is going on in the world today, and if they do care, they don't understand. And if they do understand, they probably aren't sure how to go about influencing what is happening today.

That needs to change if America's freedom is going to be restored.


My name is Liliana. I've been homeschooled up until 9th grade, and now I'm going to Leadership Academy of Utah.

I am passionate about many things, some of which include current events, the United States Constitution, good books, designing and sewing clothes for me and my 18" doll, debate, and having a clean room.


I am very excited to have this blog and be sharing anything and everything I'm interested in with you.
