Rainbow Brite has taken over my life. I've stopped all work on Rainbow High dolls, and gone hard working on art and patterns for Rainbow Brite. I'm also stalking Walmart for her friends to get in stock. I also acquired the cartoon and the movie from the 80s, and have been watching that. This tiny space dwarf makes me so happy, it's insane.

I'd have to look and see if the paper dolls are around but I know we happen to have an original plush horse that needs to go.

Getting back into Pokemon after seven months. Also planning to get the stuff to solder soon. Both for games/consoles, and for dollhouse reasons.

Making late 1870s to early 1880s between bustle clothes for my replica Bebe lady when I have the time and ability. She has a petticoat and a plain tea gown/wrapper to start. Going to be looking at natural form princess seams with decorative overskirts and a bit of a train.

Did see what I assume was an "official" pattern for her but... I'm a novice fashion historian but even I could spot the irritating inaccuracies. I have doll books and access to authentic fashion magazines of the era she wants.

My brain has decided we need to design a theme park . . . For some reason. Not a REAL one, but I was researching theme parks and rides for a different project and it's turned into a whole thing . . . Thankfully, this project just requires paper and a pencil, as opposed to a lot of my other projects.

It's going to take a while, but researching rides and fitting them into place is fun.

Look in to Knotts Berry Farm, the Beary Tales ride designed by Rolly Crump and junkyard racers are still remembered. Their log flume with the lumberjack theming and mine train have been untouched. Got to hand it to them for the after hours Spooky Farm shows with Elvira and to keep it TOS doing unkind things to witches.

The only downside to Six Flags Magic Mountain was the hills, that should be solved for people with mobility challenges. And the Batman ride being five seconds long was irritating, there should be a minimum ride time. I haven't been back to Disneyland since 2011 for several reasons, price is a huge one, but I remember Adventures Thru Innerspace, the sky buckets, People Mover, and happened to like America Sings. Make sure to have strategic places, like the Enchanted Tiki Room, to sit down and cool off.

Have a mix of steel and wooden coasters, and I forgot the name of the park but there's one that has a section of vintage rides. Do seasonal theming to keep people coming back year round.

It's funny you mentioned Knott's, because I literally just got a vintage Knott's Berry Farm cookbook in the mail the other day. XD All of my hobbies overlap, I'm telling you.
