2026 hobby goals
Wednesday, 8. April 2026
Every year, I've been trying to set myself some doll goals (mostly has to do with not buying things and then failing several times throughout the year). In 2025 I set myself a "doll website" goal and ended up deleting it altogether so I didn't dare to write down the same thing in 2026... yet I somehow did end up putting one up again (mostly because of the DoA closure news).
I think I went a bit easier this year altogether, and it's already been like 3 months so let's check in below:

The OG 2026 goals
- No-buy
Like every year, the general plan is not to buy more dolls (never works out)... I will allow myself one doll just to give myself some slack into my inevitable failure :| I've ended up missing something I sold this year, so I aim to buy the same mold back if I can find them. - Sew a lot
I want to do lots of sewing. I've gotten on a good roll with my sewing project journal so continuing that won't be hard, and I want to build up to doing slightly more detailed projects without getting frustrated about them. I also just want to use up some fabrics and yarns I have. - Make Wigs
I bought lots of wig hair this year but hardly made any wigs... perhaps '26 is the year for hair - Cosplay project
finish (and actually start) a cosplay project I've been planning for ages. Make costumes, wigs, accessories and a set for a photoshoot. Not gonna name it this time because I jinxed my Angelic Layer plans I had for 2025 it seems - Take photos on film
Set up my analogue camera again and take some doll photos on film! I struggle photographing my 1/3s, but I think this could be cool to do with them.
1st quarter check-in:
- No-buy
I already failed this before January when I purchased Morrow. I've also bought wigs and some option hands... Needs work for sure! - Sew a lot
I've been sewing so much and gotten on a very good roll. I've also been sewing for myself for a change! I hope to carry on in the same manner. - Make Wigs
Made 3 wigs, learned a new hair-parting technique! - Cosplay project
Scrapped the idea of going full on with the costumes, but I did finish my Revolutionary Girl Utena Cosplay and I'm very proud of pulling through with it! - Take photos on film
I bought film and have been taking shots every now and again. I'm trying to stretch it out as long as I can (film photography is not cheap these days!) but I'm very curious what will come out form this.
Some things have also gone *better* than expected: I made a website again, transferred project journals, will try to start a blog? I will be checking back in the end of June to see how the rest has progressed.
I think I'd also like to also add a new goal:
- Keep up with website/blog/rss feeds
I also made a tumblr earlier, but I'm already overwhelmed by the feed so idk how much I'll do there... But the website I'd like to stick with!
If you made it so far - let me know in the guestbook! I'd love to know if anyone checks in and reads!
