1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    1. No, I don't. Though sometimes I sleep with him, but even then, he doesn't wear any pajamas.
       
    2. Nope, I treat them like valued possessions or collectibles. Even if I leave a doll out overnight, they stay in a sitting position. I don't have the time or energy at the end of the day to put resin people to sleep, and it's not really necessary.
       
    3. My 1/3 boy spends most of his time in his comfy pj's. I made a pillow for his doll bag, I think of him as sleeping. I felt horrible by shoving him in his bag, I don't have room to keep him set up all the time. :(
       
    4. ffion has a nightgown that i sometimes like to put her in before my bedtime but she doesn't have a bed to herself [yet...]
       
    5. I generally either put mine in their boxes or in their bed, too. I just have the boxes lined up in my home office, and I lay them in there at night. I do this mostly for safety reasons and not for any kind of "nightly routine". I don't bother with changing their clothes at night. Whatever they're wearing when I put them away is what they're wearing to "sleep" in. Sometimes, I like to bring one of my dolls into my bedroom to spend the night, but usually I leave that one sitting on top of the chest of drawers, again for safety reasons, as the chest is high enough for my dog not to be able to reach.
       
    6. I kind of put my first doll to 'sleep' in her box. When I got more dolls, I made room for them in my cupboard. So they can keep themselves company. :P
       
    7. yupppppp!they r sleep on my bed every night.....
       
    8. My dolls currently don't even have pajamas, and they would only wear them for a photostory. I don't have time to change all of them every day. They sit on a couch in my sewing room until I come back for them.
       
    9. I had made beds for my waiting dolls similar to human beds with covers, pillows, cuddly stuff...Do you? If so, please share. Do you also put your dolls sleep everynight before you go to bed and do you carry them with you most of the time like a friend...and any other things, please discuss...and my answer to this question is yes, I love my dolls (even they haven't came yet) as much as like a physical being. I also give each of them a box that stores most of their clothes, belongings..etc.
       
    10. Generally yes, I will talk to them but not in a conversational way, usually stuff like "you're so cute!" or " don't worry, I'll get you some shoes soon. Sadly I don't get to interact with them everyday since I'm quite busy, but I do put my little bjd Colo to sleep in a basket at night. I call all my dolls my babies, I have just finished paying the layaway for one and I just kept thinking "my baby is coming home!!" I don't treat them as actual humans but I love them alot, even the one I haven't met yet :3
       
    11. Aww so sweet! Calling them babies are just adorable! I hope you won't be viewed as weird by your family or friends...and I would also talk to them, that was a good idea...I think I would have hugged them all the time and let them sit next to me during meals, leisure time e.g. watching tv...
       
    12. I tuck them into their little miniature bed each night *shame*
      but I don't talk to them or anything, I treat them as dolls for the most part.
       
    13. Nah, my family makes jokes about it but I think they are used to me having weird hobbies by now ^_^
      I do let them hang around on the sofa, but sometimes I forget and almost sit on them.
       
    14. I used to put my girl in her bed. It only fits in my craft room though, and I hardly make it in there anymore. So she 'sleeps' on my desk. Probably wouldn't put her in pj's though as it's such a pain to undress her. :P
       
    15. I prefer to wake-up in the morning seeing my dolls dressed all beautifully sitting in there display case. I lack motivation in the morning and seeing them all perky helps start my day :)
       
    16. Marc has his little section in my bookcase with a couple blankets/pieces of nice fabric for him. I made a pillow and he just sort of hangs out there. I don't quite put him to bed, per say, but it's his spot that he goes to when I am all done playing with him or working on clothes. Sometimes I loosely wrap a hankie about him, or pull the fabric over him.

      I don't know if this counts as "putting him to bed" though. lol
       
    17. so sad that my bed is too small
       
    18. My doll has her box set up and that's where she sleeps (tucked in) and whatnot. Right now my dolls are standing on my armchair though, as it's a spare and they don't have a permanent place in my new apartment yet :P I say little things to them, too. I mean, I wiped Ari's face up today and I would have felt pretty awkward if I hadn't told her first. You don't just go wiping faces off unannounced *_*
       
    19. You know what? Yep. Not always, but I prefer to.
      Iris doesn't have PJs, but I always lay him down in the same pose (he "sleeps" on his side with a hand under his head and with his Creeper plush under his other arm), with the zipper bag he came in opened out like a mat. He lays on this futon mattress that's folded in half on the floor in front of the TV in my room for guests, and when I don't lay him down he's sat at my computer all night.
       
    20. Never done it, never will..they are dolls, not children. They stay sitting on my shelves in the exact same clothes day in day out.
