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.

What are you Doll Plans for 2013?

Dec 13, 2012

    1. My plan for the rest of this year is to just try and save up at least half of what I need for my first, and finish working on her character and backstory - which is proving to be very difficult.
       
    2. At the start of 2013 I had no dolly plans whatsoever, as I'd been out of the hobby for quite a while and had practically forgotten about it. But then I met a new dolly friend who urged me to finalls purchase my first doll, and I did. As for now, I might be selling the tiny doll I got with my order, so he can go to a better home, and to add to my savings for my second (and so far in my plans, currently last) doll, whom I'd like to buy at the end of the year~
       
    3. I'm planning on getting another MSD, maybe two. I haven't decided yet if I only want one doll or two, since a lot depends on if my 'grail' doll is available for a good price once some money clears into my account in the next couple of weeks.

      I really should invest in some more nice outfits for my crew as well. Must remember to check Alice's Collections soon.
       
    4. Once my MNF Chloe has arrived, I will be putting dolls on hold while I buy outfits for my current dolls. Then I will by buying a PKF Ante and PKF Luna. And my partner will be buying my Crobidoll Yeon-ho for Christmas.
       
    5. Time to update!

      1. order IH basic EID Luna with spare hands and geta feet ^^/faceup/blushing DONE (order placed June 12 ^^)
      2. order IH basic JID 'I' (almost positive on this.... she's top but there is a second choice I'm waffling on) with spare parts/blushing and custom face up. DONE (order placed June 12 ^^)
      3. decide on wigs for the girls :...( choosing is so hard! (but choice is narrowed down at least). DONE (selected 3 starter styles ^^)
      4. pick ONE extra outfit for EID with doll.... not 2 or 3 or..... DONE - but still ended up with 3 total outfits ><;
      5. organize places for incoming girls (this is actually a challenge O_o) and growing doll wardrobe (shoes take an obscene amount of space.) IN PROGRESS I keep fiddling with it as I get stuff. (June 15 note: not sure this will ever get truly done as I keep rearranging stuff -_-)
      6. purchase at least ONE full outfit for EID model body (I lucked out on getting in on the 'renewal' body event... so I have the EID body but no head now ;p (added to list 07/04/13) I got lucky and found the shoes I wanted on market place ^^.
      7. Buy Iple's new 'flat' shoe selection for big gals feet!(added to list 07/04/13)

      Longer term stuff:
      1. Find a camera that I can use (need to work around vision issue - this is not an easy task)
      2. Clean up mothers long abandon sewing corner <-- been avoiding this since she passed on ... it's hard.
      3. get mom's sewing machines reconditioned to use
      4. make 'sundress' pattern as a test dress. ( I panic at the thought of sewing... this is huge for me).
      5. Sell off some of Barbie collection (really hard to part with but I will try) AND anything else I can get rid of ^^. (started with sale of Mom's 'hospital bed)

      By end of year:
      1. Lay in starter clothes for EID man checking out possible bargain of dressed doll (just ordinary stuff)
      2. O_O Start saving/getting YID girls "new" outfits just available on Iple now.
       
    6. My plans are very moderate because I have another expensive hobby so I have to sort of balance where I spend money! I might sell some of my older dolls (non BJDs) in order to buy some dolls, not sure. I want a Honey Delf and/or Kids Delf. I also am thinking of attempting more doll clothes sewing.
       
    7. Order another Iple for Christmas...
       
    8. My plane for 2013 is to buy bodies for my floating heads Angelsdoll Ivan and Sarah they need it necessarily.
       
    9. I have rather moderate plans for this year:
      1. Complete Amelia (iplehouse jid leona) and create a convincing backstory and/or character for her
      2. Sew multiple outfits including accessories for amelia.
      3. Maybe...get a boy doll (withdoll taren perhaps?) By the end of the year
      But i think 2013 for me will be spent making amelia perfect!
       
    10. 1. Buy a DC Queena on a normal kid body
      2. Think of a character/backstory for my Unoa Lusis hybrid
      3. Bulk up my girl's wardrobe
      4. Learn how to sew
      5. Get a job to pay for my resin addiction
      6. Save up money and then go on a spending spree during the Christmas events ^^
       
    11. My 2013 plans are:
      1- one body 's angel-studio
      2- Littlefee bisou tan
      3- Littlefee ante tan
      4- sq lab moe
      5- Have money to buy more and more things ;)
       
    12. My only plan for 2013 is getting a SoulDoll Vito Lester to be the boyfriend of my current dollie this Christmas. I know he will be a good guardian!
       
    13. Dolly Plan 2013?
      Hmm, mostly I will deviate from my plan but let's see:
      1. Adopt Soom Hyperon, keh keh keh. My grail. This time I will not let him go like last time!:mwahaha
      2. Find a split partner for Soom Necy and complete the split perfectly
      3. Search for a suitable body + mod artist for my IOS Keiji
      4. Learn how to do better photography
      5. Iplehouse Dexter / at least one Herculean
      6. More clothes for my girls, or maybe learn to sew
      7. Excel at dolly faceup! Promote my shop Sorenka Artwork
      8. Spend more time with my IRL dolly friends. :wiggle
       
    14. My plan is only one for this year..save up for my first doll, and then buy it! *^* :aheartbea
       
    15. plans:
      January '13: Spend less! :)
      June '13 : Epic fail! :doh
       
    16. LMAO... that should NEVER be an actual plan, just an 'attempt' to do better. You can't 'fail' if you at least tried ^^. In psychology we call this 're-framing' it's a wonderful tool LOL.

       
    17. 1. Develop their personalities more.
      2. Get new wigs.
      3. MAKE THEM MORE CLOTHES. They've been wearing the same outfit for lord only knows how long.
      4. Buy new eyes for Kadan and Chiisa.
      5. Get better at doll-photography.
      6. FINALLY get myself to learn to do faceups.
      7. Re-do Chiisa's faceup so she doesn't have to have a chipped lip anymore -.-;
      8. Freckle Kadan :D
      9. Make more friends that are into BJD :c
       
    18. Lady Tiku, I failed at trying. Epically. (pesky grail dolls!)
      And then I failed at selling last Sunday, quite epically too. But not for lack of trying. So no Epic fail on that part.
      Just not enough money back to pay for the table hire. Grrr.

      New Plan:
      Sew lots of doll clothing. ===> check.
      (Finnish each project outfit. ====> check.)
      Put doll clothing on market ====> in progress.
      Keep doll clothing on market until sold. ====> on going.

      -- Thank you, Heinlein, for the tip. (Even if he was talking about scifi writing at the time; it work for this too.)
       
    19. My plan should be getting bodies for my 2 floating heads and buy more outfits and wigs for my dolls. But I just spent everything on Soom MD Puss. xD I'm broke on so many levels.
       
    20. Okay...complete and utter fail on everything!!! Nearly everything in my crew has changed and I'm officially throwing in the towel for this year!:ablah:
