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 2014?

Nov 24, 2013

    1. New plans for me. Since, I've strayed from the original plans...>.>

      1) Make or obtain clothes for all of my dolls. I really want to make my own clothes because I'm looking to save money.
      2) Get shoes for everyone!! I still have a few dolls without shoes. Plus, my minifee would like more.
      3) Wigs are a go! I think everyone has the right wig except Minhyun. New wigs never hurt anyone.
      4) Go to my first doll meet! I plan to ,hopefully, attend one next month.
      5) New faceups for Madelyn, Niah and Lucas
      6) If possible...a body for Niah. May or may not happen.
      7) Can't forget the eyes...
       
    2. 1) buy a big bookshelf for my dolls.
      2) get better and better with the face up
      3) take as more photos as I can
      4) get new a better photo backgrounds
      5) get more beautiful outfits

      *do not get too much new dolls at home this year......
       
    3. 1.) Keep practicing faceups until I can do simple, natural ones to my satisfaction most of the time
      2.) Learn to make some sort of funky clothes for my dolls - sweaters or t-shirts, shorts, something easy but cool
      3.) Try making a wig with the huge assortment of mohair yarn I bought & have never used
      4.) Take my daughter to the Korean BJD show in L.A. next month and have a wonderful time together
      5.) Buy one of the odd looking dolls I like so much, something from Doll Chateau or Nefer Kane....those dolls amaze me!
       
    4. 1. Buy new head for Castiel. :goldstar
      2. Commission a faceup for Castiel's new head. :goldstar
      3. Buy new, proportionate hands for Cas. Get sanded if necessary. Attach them. Get blushed if necessary.
      4. New shirt, shoes, and wig for Cas.
      5. Layaway IslandDoll Jonas (Andi), plus outfit and wig. Eyes if necessary.
      6. Commission faceup for Andi. :goldstar
      7. Become better at photography.
      8. Do photostories outside of box openings. :goldstar
      9. Layaway Iplehouse Denzel (Sam).
      10. Commission faceup for Sam.
      11. Pants, shoes and wig for Sam. Eyes if necessary.

      (Last three are big "maybes" but after my car's paid off, who knows what I'll be able to do? :D)
       
    5. 1) Pay off all three dolls on layaway (oh gods, what am I doing @.@;;)

      2) Get a body for my floating head

      3) Gather materials and workspace to finally attempt my own face-ups/body-blushing

      4) Possibly be either horrified at my lack of faceup skills, or amazed at my shocking talents XD
       
    6. 1) Have another make-up for my Dearmine Dune
      2) Order a new Minifee OR 2 pukipuki
      3) Make some make-up myself
      4) Trying to make some alpaca wig myself ^^
       
    7. Progress update!

      #1 Find alternative materials for eye-making. The smaller sizes look perfect with the materials I have, but the larger (12mm+) ones still have some room for improvement. --- In progress. The first batch of experimental eyes came out a LOT better than the old ones. Not quite there yet, but it's definitely a start.

      #2 Make more wigs. Maybe use some different materials / techniques here as well. --- In progress, too! Started making my own wefts, which makes a lot of difference, and tried a different way of making the caps.

      #2b. In the process of #2, get better at making wigs. --- Comparing the latest one to the one before that ... uh, yeah. It's all in the technique, I guess! Goodbye crappy eBay bought wefts, hello goat and alpaca fuzz all over my workspace. :lol:

      #3 Learn moar crafts! And work on the ones I picked up this year. (More specifically, polymer clay stuffs and the like ... also, furniture.) --- Nothing here yet, I'm still busy with the first two :)

      #4 Continued from this year's plans - get as many of the main crew home as possible. --- In progress - one ordered, one planned. Will see how things go from there.

      #5 Now that my doll sewing has improved a bit, maybe really make some clothes for sale ... if I dare. :sweat --- Heh ... I don't think so, somehow ... not yet, anyway. :sweat
       
    8. 1) Get my 1st SD doll though I'm already starting to get some clothes/accessories for SD lol (I'm still deciding which one to choose between Migidoll Miho or Cho, or maybe only buying head from Migidoll and choose another body ahhh I don't know ! I hope I'll be sure of what I want really soon) HALF DONE I've actually bought a Ryun:R head from Switch haha totally changed my mind in the end !
      2) Practice for face-up
      3) Sew more clothes, but I never know what to sew...
      4) Finally buy shoes for my MSD haha... DONE
      5) Buy a body for my Ryun

      I guess that's all ^^
       
    9. 03/18 UPDATE!!! - Oh boy.... where to start... massive change ... >< Iplehouse derailed my doll 'buying' plans with their new theme line. The extra's for the debut doll made it impossible to not order ... My nYID will come home this year but way ahead of plans. She will also be the new mold and a complete full set. I may even keep the new mold (still undecided on this). If not Emilia goes back to IH for a face up. Amendments noted before #'s with a '*' I have also looked into homecare help for me so maybe this can help me get some things in the home better managed... maybe help selling Barbies to fund bjd's?

      Okay, my actual plans for the year!

      1. Learn to restring! Awkward attempt and Jessica's head is a tad tight now but the 'learning' has begun
      2. Buy proper tools to restring. <- ordered Jessica's new string.
      3. Pay off my Chiron centaur and bring him home! DONE!
      *4. Send his and the human head I also snagged this year 'back' to Soul Doll to get matched face ups (Amending: Keeping Centaur face up... I like it ^^.) Not happening... too much other stuff needs money first
      5. Buy camera accessories (namely a tripod and light reflectors). This i can still do since it's local stuff ^^.
      6. BRING HOME IH DEXTER! ... ORDERED! (13/12/30)
      7. Find safe place for Soul Doll Chiron centaur to live O_o. (may require a case?) Temporarily done... he will stay in his box at night for now... he's .... enormous O_O
      *8. Get IH nYID... - ordering Bliss ("Carved Heritage".) full set with extra items needed (ie hair,hands...)
      9. Get Enyu's 'house' out of storage and set it up (got a ton of stuff to put in already) -> Down and half cleaned
      10. Try and get Iple's newest outfits before they disappear! (the "Hunter Collection") also the stuff with the new theme set -_-v
      11. Try out a couple of doll stands for BIG dolls (stop being paranoid about wasting the money ><) Angel Soul and Loong Soul look like good candidates
      12. Get RE-reading E.B.'s books so I can plot out character descriptions and decided costume details (not just 'the black dress' LOL). - into 4th book!
      *13. Find out where to commission Enyu's clothes! - Done - I have plenty to work with with Ken doll stuff. I may in future obtain spare to 'cut down'. Commission work not required ^^

      Ongoing projects.
      1. Sort and tidy up doll wardrobe... ongoing process ><. But needing new 'game plan' of where to put stuff.
      *2. Get sewing corner 'usable'. - tested machine decided it needs recondition before any 'real' sewing projects (will still try 'test' sewing on scraps?) - Done for now. It's minor-ly usable at least
      *3a. Try out sundress 'test' pattern. - Skipping for the time being
      *3b. See if 'in home lessons' are possible? (really hard to find ones that are not too advanced). Skipping for the time being

      PIPE-DREAMS! - for when I win a lotto or???
      *depending on what shows up this new theme set could force the core doll set to come home faster and earlier than planned
      1. 2nd & 3rd full nYID girls (the Langley girls)
      2. SID womnan (prolly Grace?)
      3. 2nd EID man OR a SID maybe?
       
    10. My plan is to:

      1) find a new head that will better fit this beautiful wig I found
      2) keep working on making outfits
      3) learn how to make my own wigs.

      I'd like to learn how to make my own eyes as well but I'll save that for next year.
       
    11. I have a couple of plans for this year.

      1. Get a body for the soon-to-be-mine floating head
      2. Get custom Ersaflora eyes for my dolls
      3. Making a tiny outfit for Elvenia (that's going to be a challenge!)
      4. Try and save up for a Souldoll Janne and/or a Dearmine Dorothy (maybe that's even more of a challenge xD..)
      5. Commissioning my sister to make outfits that I designed myself for the DD's that are coming in
      6. Designing the outfits I want to commission:lol:
      7. Trying to do my own face-up
      8. Get an awesome display cabinet for my dolls, so they'll be save from dust and my cats when I'm not playing with them

      I think that will keep me occupied for quite some time:).
       
    12. I don't have too many plans.

      - Save up for a Luts COCO.
      - Keep practicing faceups.
      - Find a resin match and body for my Nanuri head.

      4) Dolly bath time for Esme and Ian! And restringing for Ringo. (Update: "Ian" no longer exists, he's destined to be a girl! But yes to a bath for Es, and restringing for Luna and Ringo.)
      5) Figure out a new look for Dorothea, I am determined to bond with this doll no matter what it takes. (Update: Failed. T__T )
      6) Buy outfits, not dolls! Especially wishlist outfits. (Updates: Bought outfits. Buying dolls.)
