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.

Little Things That Make You Happy?

Jun 5, 2017

    1. Finding good props is just too exciting tbh even if they don't really make sense for any of the dolls you currently have (I have a pretty big stash of little tiny toys that would be adorable for a baby faced yosd even though I'm currently only collecting more mature dolls) and MAKING props that turn out just right is even more exciting :-D ! Finally finding a good stash of owner photos of a sculpt you're either considering or have on order is top notch too. Recently I've been having great time hoarding art/photos/etc as inspiration for future doll characters...daydreaming and planning is almost as much fun as actually executing your plans :XD:

    2. I love windowshopping for dolls. And when I do buy doll items, I'm always so impressed by the tiny, neat, narrow stitches aling the hems - miniature well made things make me so happy!
       
    3. When you get new eyes for your doll and putting them in completely changing your dolls look and attitude !

    4. changing different wigs and box opening! Love box opening and I did shot a lot of videos.
       
    5. When a friend or loved one in the hobby gets their dream doll! That just makes me so happy, even when it's not a size or type that I'm usually interested in, because I'm just so happy for my friend. <3

    6. -Having all my dolls dressed and posed together like a family portrait. It makes me SO happy every time I walk through the room!
      -Knowing I have incoming packages.
      -The perfect weightiness of a favourite doll sitting on your arm after a long day...
      -Dolly smells. Resin, a faint whiff of sealant, paint and dust and hair conditioner... each one seems to have a slightly different scent.
      -Jointed hands curled around my fingers.
      -When I look across the room and a doll is looking right at me, and it seems like we've just shared an inside joke.
      -Finding that perfect doll-sized item at the thrift shop!
      -Text conversations with friends about our mutual doll plans and storylines.

    7. - Finally getting a wig or eyes for a doll that previously didn't have any and suddenly seeing their personality show itself.
      - Looking at other dolls online and finding ones that are just so precious that you have to save the image into your gallery for later viewing.
      - Finding an ebay listing for a prop that would be perfect for you doll and it just so happens to be the correct scale size.
       
    8. Open a doll's box for the very first time, wondering how nice it'll be... and you see it at last and it's so small and perfect and detailed and amazing. I mean, the hands? I always end up looking at the hands, those delicate fingers so amazing and real looking??
      Also, brainstorming for how to customise a doll is just so much fun. It saves me at work when I'm bored to death, I just grab a pen and doodle what I could do better on my next make-up, or what outfit to add to their wardrobe, what fabric, what props I'll need... It makes me so happy and relaxed honestly (actually doing the work is often a source of frustration, but that's another problem:roll:)
