Natasha, Amanda, and Nancy are playing with their Calico Critters! Natasha has the Pickleweed hedgehogs and Fenton Labradors, Amanda has the Caramel cats, and Nancy has the Hopscotch rabbits. They all live in a hollowed-out pumpkin. You can join them if you want to, since Natasha has an extra set!

I did it! I graduated college!

In honor of my finally finishing school, I decided to see where my modern characters are when they’re done with college. I’m so proud of them!

Katherine got a degree in oceanography and is applying to jobs at NOAA. In the meantime, she volunteers at the Seattle Aquarium.

Ruby went to school for forest resource management, and she’s secured a summer position in Grand Teton National Park. Bon voyage, Ruby!

Jennifer just graduated from her premed program and will apply to medical school soon. Good luck!

Daisy got a degree in animal behavior. She just got a job working at the Oregon Zoo in the Vollum Aviary!

Marguerite’s geology program was fascinating! She now joins her mother at work on geological surveys. After all, carpooling saves gas!

Rosemary studied international relations and is interning for the CIA. She’d tell you what exactly she does, but she signed an NDA.

Nancy got a degree in music while playing with her band Bebe Le Strange all throughout college. She’s secured them a weekly gig at a venue in Chicago!

Amanda studied volcanology and is applying to jobs with USGS, and she plays drums for Bebe Le Strange in the meantime.

Evelin decided to get her degree in electrical engineering while also running track for her college. She’s gonna make it to the Olympics someday!

Annalise won a full-ride scholarship to art school and got her degree in painting and drawing! She’s now applying to illustration jobs at video game companies.

Natasha just finished her degree in biology and will start radiology programs in med school! In the meantime, she’s a receptionist at her local physical therapy clinic.

Here is the dress-up game I used to make my grown-up gals. They grow up so fast :’)

Happy Hanukkah!

Rebecca is hosting a Hanukkah party tonight with a few of her friends. Everyone is so excited for sunset!

Each girl celebrates Hanukkah a little differently. Nancy and Amanda come from an interfaith family, where their father’s side is Jewish and their mother’s side is Greek Orthodox. Amanda prefers to celebrate just the Jewish holidays, while Nancy likes to explore both. Rebecca is a conservative Jewish girl, so it’s all Jewish holidays, all the time. Katherine’s family celebrates Christian and Jewish holidays secularly as a way to keep in touch with their family history, even though none of them are religious. Coming together tonight lets the girls talk about different perspectives and share new traditions. (And show off their new winter outfits, of course!)

The hanukkiah looks beautiful! But wait a second- where are the candles?

Didn’t Nancy say she’d bring them?

Nancy says she miiiiight’ve forgotten them at home. Oh, well. She and Amanda will dash down to the store and grab some candles, and maybe some sufganiyot too. Good luck, you two! Chag Urim Sameach!

Since I recently redid my meet photos for all my girls, I thought it’d be fun to do a post with some fast facts about my original characters. Look under the cut to learn more about them!

Jennifer:

Favorite season is autumn

Plays with her mother’s Miss America Barbie doll

Loses track of time easily and will stay up very late working on her knitting projects or watching TV

Katherine:

Has sensory processing disorder and is especially sensitive to loud sounds

Favorite holiday is Halloween

Puts glitter stickers on everything she owns

Evelin:

Favorite musician is Rufus Wainwright

Sets up a hummingbird feeder outside her bedroom window every summer

Got into making amateur radios as a fun way of communicating with her friends during the Covid pandemic

Nancy:

Favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day

Listens to at least three Talking Heads albums a week

Wants Amanda to play drums so that they can be like Van Halen

Amanda:

Favorite book is The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate

Broke her wrist skateboarding when she was 11

Watched a TV program about volcanoes once and now is a little afraid of them but also fascinated by them

Rosemary:

Never sleeps with a blanket because it feels too constricting

Favorite food is a grilled cheese sandwich with a fried egg on top

Bakes lemon bars with her Mama at least once a month

Daisy:

Is afraid of ghosts

Loves foxes and has a beloved fox Squishmallow

Pours soy sauce directly on rice to make her grandparents mad (manners in Japan dictate that you dip a bite in sauce instead of pouring it over your food) (and Daisy knows it)

Ruby:

Has a scar on her ankle from a Razor scooter with a vengeance

Most treasured possession is a sunflower-print fleece blanket from her grandmother Marie

Favorite food is 4th of July hot dogs

Marguerite:

Wants to live in an old Victorian house

Has a huge collection of interesting rocks and crystals and wants to have an entire rock display wall

Once had a really intense cottagecore phase and refused to eat bread that she didn’t bake herself

Meet Nancy Feldman!

Nancy Gabrielle Feldman was born on June 12th. She is a modern-day girl and incidentally comes from 1977. She lives in Chicago, Illinois, with her twin sister Amanda, her mother Sandy, her maternal aunt Christie, and her maternal grandmother Rose. She likes playing her guitar, rollerskating, and window shopping with her grandmother. When she grows up, Nancy wants to be a guitarist in her own rock ‘n roll band.

Nancy plays guitar by ear, so she’s not surprised when she can’t read sheet music quickly. But after months of trying, she still has trouble telling the notes from one another. She isn’t too concerned- not when she needs to work on getting her English grades up! Aunt Christie, however, is an occupational therapist, and she thinks there might be more to Nancy’s struggles with reading and writing than meets the eye. Nancy is diagnosed with dyslexia, which frustrates her at first; she fears she’ll fall behind and become stupid in the eyes of her friends. With Christie’s help, Nancy quickly learns that dyslexia isn’t any indicator of intelligence and there is nothing wrong with doing things a little differently. She finds comfort in her sister Amanda also being diagnosed with dyslexia, even though Amanda’s is more mild. Nancy figures out how to adapt to her needs- color coding sheet music and using a word processor, for example- and stand up for them when others try to challenge her.
