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.

I want to get my baby some new clothes and get my floating Cho head a body.

    18. 04/04 UPDATE!!! - Got Bliss ordered along w/ some of the 'hunter' outfits (ones in stock, still waiting for others ><). Home care help could be a big help I found if helping to get me organized and 'cleaned up' around the house. Dad has to have minor surgery&#8203; so small hiccup in working around the house since it has to be geared not to dolls but him ;p. 04/16 - edited for formatting and 'minor' updates.

      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. will get tools at doll show in fall.^^
      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?) On hold untill I can restring him so he stands free.
      8. Get IH nYID... - ordered Bliss ("Carved Heritage".) full set DONE - on layaway with 'some' of the hunter outfits that were in stock.
      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 - started!
      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 Only if I am lucky?
      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). - Done primary books! now I can work on specific 'design details for when I can get a commission done! ^^
      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. - new decorative cases bought!
      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? Not this year lol

      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 - definitely
      1. 2nd & 3rd full nYID girls (the Langley girls)
      2. SID woman (Grace?)
      3. 2nd EID man OR a SID maybe? unfortunately looking more than possible ><
       
    19. At this point, my biggest goal is to be able to spray a coat of Citadel Purity Seal that doesn't completely clump/trap dust/something horribly. My faceup attempts are a disaster before they even begin! Sigh. (I'm sure, on the humidity front, that living in Louisiana doesn't help.)
       
    20. Does anyone else find their plans changing constantly? I insisted in February that I wasn't buying another doll this year. Then I decided to put DC Elizabeth on layaway. Now that's been postponed because I want to get an Ada at the same time. And now Fairyland are talking about an event...
