My plans for 2018

I be going to tokyo in Feb so i want to get a new girl (s)
I want to buy new clothes for them
I want to be able to do simple faceup
I want to learn how to sew
I want to save money and not buy on impulse
I want to take better photos of my dolls

 

Plans for 2018:

- FCS! FCS! FCS! Please offer the heads I want, Volks.
- Buy some kind of cabinet or shelving to store my dolls. Keeping them in their boxes was working for a while, but now I've got too many giant boxes and not enough space.
- Better organize their clothes/accessories. Right now everything's stored in plastic tubs with little rhyme or reason and it takes me forever to find what I'm looking for. Bad self, bad.

 

Updated: July 8. I clearly need to work faster.

To do:

• faceups for all my blank dolls- 1 down, 2 to go
• make clothes for Prudence that will fit over her freakishly huge Mickey Mouse hands but still fit her tiny, twig-like body. Or, alternatively, make a little whatchamajigger that will allow me to remove those giant man-hands whenever I dress her, but will keep her elastic from snapping up into her body by blocking the end of her arm
• mod floating MNF event head to make it cuter to me
• improve my wardrobe, wig, and eye storage - In progress
• buy or make some new outfits, as needed - Done, minus Michael's robe and belt
• make some wigs with new-to-me fibers
• write down some of my doll stories
• buy shoes for everyone - Doll shoes are a PITA, and I've decided I'm content with my dolls going barefoot for now.

To buy:

• Loongsoul BB body for Kassia experiment Done!
• body for Gretl head (maybe the spidery 60 cm Resinsoul?)
• body for aforementioned MNF head. Maybe...if I can cheap out with a hybrid & a neck donut.
• shoes - Postpone for now
• I might by a doll from my wishlist for my birthday in May. I'll have to see. I bought two dolls...oops!

 

These are definitely my primary goals, hopefully I can get at least some of them done (having other expensive hobbies is bad for the wallet, haha~)

Resin Related:

• Buy Cosmik his Mystic Kids body. Since his story companion Starr got a body this year it's only fair he gets his next year.
• Bite the bullet and buy Jekyll and Hyde AKA my mirror twin boys who will be Luts Senior65 Delf Black's with customised defaults face ups thanks to Luts' glorious custom face up option.

Clothes/Shoes/Etc:

• Buy Cosmik's clothes and shoes. (Only if/when his body has been purchased)
• Buy Jekyll and Hyde's Clothes/Shoes/Wigs/Eyes. (Only if/when they've been ordered.)
• Buy Yuu some god damn pants. Or make them. Whichever comes first the boy needs some decent pants. Also new shoes!
• Buy Tobias shoes. Purple sneakers or cute purple ballet flats, I don't care. the boy needs some cute shoes.
• Buy Evelyn new shoes/socks, he's almost been completely revamped and these will finally make him re-completed!

Not to Do:

• Absolutely NO impulse buys! Don't even look at doll websites unless it's for one of the above mentioned goals.

 

I've got wigs to buy for four dolls (one needs a new wig).

I've got faceups to commission for at least three faces (possibly four).

I've got to clothe the two newest dolls I recently got home.

After that, I think I am going to focus on getting better storage space for my doll boxes and my doll supplies. Likely won't be buying anymore dolls for a while since at this point, I truly have no room. So I'm going to focus on the dolls I have and developing them and their characters.

 

I've decided to pay off Irina (April Story Diana) this month rather than suffering through layaway, so...
- Get her chin rounded a bit if I think it's too pointy for what I'm looking for when she arrives
- Commission a faceup for her-- I'd love to try doing one myself but I just don't have a space here where I can do that.
- Bulk out her wardrobe.
- Get her a nicer chair to sit on, the one I currently have is one of those wicker ones and I'd like something more ~luxe~

Later on in the year I wouldn't mind shelling Marie (who would be an MSD size girl), or the second incarnation of Fred (an SD size boy). Realistically speaking, if i get any dolls next year they'll probably end up being impulse bought fantasy critters lol

 

I'm hoping to get my first doll, as well! I've got making clothes and furniture covered, it's just figuring out which size...although I really want a minifee, it must be all put together, because I have absolutely no confidence in being able to do it myself!

 

Bring home the last dolls on my wishlist and work on my collection as a group. I'm going to be investing in a new camera too, so I plan to take more pictures to share on here.

 

In 2018, I would like to:

• Cut down on spending cos I spent way too much in 2017 (though I'll probably fail badly if any grails pop up 2nd hand or re-release) Contradictorily, I already have my eyes on some Pygmalion heads and I also wish to get a Soom Idealian but that depends
• Get some eyes cos the ones I have right now don't fit a few of my newer heads
• Wigs for my incoming pair of 1/8 dolls so they don't have to stay bald
• Give all my blank heads a faceup
• Give all the nameless folks a name

 

Oh my... Already thinking about next years plans...
