Do you have BJD Addiction?

100! Ok u win ;D.

I was bad tho I bought a new doll yesterday dealer had her in stock no face up in normal skin with a new type body. she is the second Doll Leaves Teresa I have now bought. since buying this instock girl the dealer seems to have removed her altogether from the site.. Sad she was cute!

 

The impulse buys is kicking me back side lol. Just got my 2 new pair of blue eyes in 14mm and 12mm as well as 2 wigs. 1 wig and the 12mm eyes are for Lulu (my luts tiny delf louis) just need to finish my knit dress for her struggling to do my boy Virgil's (Ringdoll Rinku) face up this last face cleaning has left this weird white powder stuff on his resin wondering if the watered down actone is messing him up.. just going to do a simple pastel beard on him and watercolour pencil scar(s). I wonder has anyone tried using watercolour markers made by winsor and newton?

 

Looking at some new bodies for my DL (Doll Leaves) Teresa love her head her body is ok just poor at posing the arms snap back back to her sides but one seems floppy to argh gonna have to felt her or whatever it's called maybe wire her? Also got my wigs I ordered from china omg they are soft seriously really nice did not expect that at all, new wig also fits Ringdoll Rinku (Virgil).

But ya implus buying and stalking BJD's and related items is way to tempting lol. Just bought 3 more wigs and looking at more eyes and wigs specially for Virgil and maybe a new body for Fauna (new doll leaves Teresa). Anyone got a favorite brand?

 

I have what is called a addictive personality no professional has wanted to label me as such why i have no clue but they seriously failed in trying to treat me.

I you can be addicted to multiple things think sherk and he is like a onion multiple layers thing. Once you get to the root cause of a addiction you can plan and take steps to curve yourself. Sadly its a real struggle for me but thankfully not as worse off as some i have hopefully put in my final 2 bjd related orders in (wigs, wig caps, felting bits, new string you get the idea) for the next few months while i work though some 10+ accredited courses which about 50% are mental health related.

But addiction is not just buying its constantly thinking about it as well. Which hard not to when i have 1,001 ideas for face ups lol.

 

I see limited and I try and hop on them like a starving man on a chirstmas ham (or *insert perfered meat here* if you don't like pork or *insert vegan food here* if you don't like meat). What are mature tinies? don't think I have come acrossed them as only tinies I see are super cute (I have seen a few that looked a bit ugly, tempted to buy one and paint it to look like a ork). I need to stop thinking of BJD's as right now I'm stalking the form looking at them and stalking my dealers site for instocks lol.

 

I think none of my doctors wanted to label me because I was so young when I showed the signs like 12-14 years old. but they had no problem saying I had ADD/ADHD and suggested what most people call downer pills (pills to make a person calmer) talk therapy did not help guy was a little weird even by my standards and I normally like "weird" ppl. But ya customizations and stuff I totally get and think thats pretty healthy I'm trying to get my brain to focus on that line of thought. On a plus note I got half my knitted night dress done for my luts tiny delf (Lulu) now if my 2 year old (almost 3) daughter would stop trying to sneak off with her that would be great lol

 

Now I know what to look for! love the ears! and a cellphone chair? wait they make chairs for cellphones?

 

I'm trying to break myself of it to and I just started. I will admit tho with me being able to knit and taking lessons on how to sew I doubt I would spend overly much on clothing & my husband is a wood worker by trade he makes wooden windows and doors we have replaced almost every single window and door in our home (which is a old end terrance built no earlier then say 1850's) with soild oak wood windows and doors so building beds,chairs etc for dolls would be well pretty easy for him and he is always finding loads of scrap wood that is still usable so not alot being spent there been debating weither I have him make wepons out of wood so I can try and carve and paint them lol.

I think my biggest issue is I have a hard time trying to seperate need vs want and I think this is due to the family dynamics while I was growing up i.e my parents sucked at being parents and acted more like the aunt and uncle you don't want your kids around cuz they are crazy and trying to out do each other in some way so that item you wanted was now something you needed and once bought was boasted about so the other waited for their chance for you next "needed" item so they could try and one up the other.

as for my growing collection of dolls I think the reason for mine is cuz I grew up to fast that and most of the dolls I had as a kid sucked (GI Joe was cool tho andt the only one I liked) and for the most part I did not pick any of them! I will admit I miss my old GI Joes and thair painted on 5'o clock beards lol. Which I think I will give my fella Virgil one just for a lil bit while I keep trying to do better beards on a off topic. Also on that note I tried some winsor & newton watercolour markers for a face up so far it does not look to bad!

 

True that one will truely kill you if you don't get help. But on the other hand you could spend every penny to your name and run up debit buying dolls etc.

But at least with this addiction it takes a few months to get your "drug" from the company, if you don't like it you can sell it etc.

Plus side to my new addiction the hubby says he wants to do a loft conversion (attic conversion) so we have another room which I can have as my space mostly because he does not want to built a summer house (only 8'x6' and 6' high 5'8" would be tall enough for me lol) so I can store my dolls do my faceups etc.
