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. My plans:

      1) Complete my outfits I have planned for Gavin and James.
      2) Bring home Gavin's sister, Amanda, probably DiM GSE Ekaterina.
      3) Find an appropriate resin kid to honor the spirit and memory of my gentle but mischievous ferret I lost this month.
      4) Find a way to create a couple creative doll rooms so they have a better place to live than "sleeping" in their boxes.
      5) Practice face ups and wiping so my anxiety level goes down as I work on characters very dear to my heart.
      6) Maybe learn to make some doll furniture. My dad has a Carve Right he never uses ... Maybe I could design some things in MSD scale ...

      Dang, I had a lot more plans than I thought ...
       
    2. i don't have many plans cause i am trying to save up for other thing, but i want to find mnf risse secondhand later because i missed her
       
    3. My plans... Well I have many x) looking forward to Summer!
      1) Get more dolls (one or two. And bodies for my floating minifee heads)
      2) Faceup for everybody o/
      3) Sew, sew, sew, slave~
      4) Take more photos.
      5) And post them, for once.

      Will I be done in December... Mmh... Dunno~
       
    4. Awesome plans everyone!
       
    5. Unless it's the fullset outfit you're after, you didn't miss her. :) Standard MNFs are all always available, it's only the fullset listings (with the specific outfits and accessories) that sell out. The standards even have the same faceup as the fullset.
       
    6. My doll plans are very simple: BUY A DOLL!! :) I've been a watcher in the hobby for many years, but now I'm finally getting to a place where I will have the finances to buy my very first bjd! I'm not sure what type of doll I want to get first, as I have so many dolly plans for the future and now I can't decide!! *_*
       
    7. Okay...so I've bought 2 already this year...
      NOT expected.
      I do think 2 more will complete my collection.
      In the meantime...
      I want to turn a book shelf I have into a doll condo.
      THAT is my actual plan.
       
    8. Sadly, my real life goals are going to push my doll goals to the side a little bit. (So this might be a 2014/15/16 Goal!)
      1. Save up and acquire my last Baby Cheshire Cat (Caramel!)
      2. Send Ripley (My Large Cheshire Cat), and all three of my small Cheshires out for faceups.
      3. Send Beck out for a new faceup
      4. Hoard eyes and wigs (I can't stop!)
      5. Save for various other dolls. ^^
       
    9. Plans change like every day, it seems!
      At the moment:

      1. Start a layaway (and complete it within 3 months) of a pet doll.
      2. Find somewhere that sells affordable 50 boy & girl bodies to fit two incoming floating heads.
      3. Try very hard NOT to start another doll project before October at least!
       
    10. New plans for 2014
      -Re-string and redo Taniths (soom gena) faceup
      -get in my fairyland littlefee soo elf girl
      -start doing more photography with my girls
      -figure out what more i'd like to do with this hobby
      -get organized with their clothes and supplies
      -get one more girl this year
      -make a diorama

      Theres so many little things I'd like to do with my dolls this year, and with the arrival of my second girl coming up Im getting excited to go to a local convention with my girls.
       
    11. I want to buy an Iplehouse EID Roger and mod him out to be an Indian. Specifically, Chief Thunder from Killer Instinct. I would post the picture, but I don't want to take the time to upload the picture on my photo-bucket account. Also, I want to finish my story that I made for my Iplehouse Luna. I made a story about a teacher who goes to a party something changes her life. Boring? Maybe. But I'm writing it for myself, and my family. I also want to learn to make jewelry for my BJD.
       
    12. I would advise getting a Flickr account. Much more versatile as well as the bucket will fill up freakishly fast if you start taking any amount of pics. But the best reason for a free Flickr (other than the sheer number of pics you can upload for free) is that you can upload one size of picture but can just copy links for different ones to use here... you don't have to re-size individual pics and have multiple sizes of the same pic like in bucket. I went from a few hundred for free on bucket to 1,000+ and not even 2% of my space used on Flickr. And I don't have to re-size anything anymore. For that alone it's worth the switch. And don't forget to subscribe to all the related Iplehouse threads to share with the Ipleholic hoards ^^
       
    13. Updating my original plans for this

      1. Bring home a new doll. -------> done! After searching for 1.5 years, I found my grail doll within my budget!
      2. Craft at least one accessory or prop for Tino.
      3. Learn to do faceups.

      Now that I have my new doll, I have another item that I'd like to complete this year:

      4. Exchange my new doll's male body for a female one.
       
    14. 05/16 UPDATE!!! - OMG >< My main overall goal? Survive (financially) IH's Carved Heritage series! That being said my last outstanding order of related outfits has shipped and I have managed to get in on relevant splits for Leonard (full set x2) and for Pamela (weapons only) also. The doll and outfit just didn't do it for me (:sweatthank heavens for small mercies). I am more or less ready for the next series doll release ^^.

      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. <- have 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).On hold until Carved Heritage is done or I get past enough releases to have spare money ><
      6. BRING HOME IH DEXTER! DONE!! ^^ arrived home May 6th
      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 sets (The Lady Collection) - important items aquired! only second choice line items left from Hunter AND Ladies Collection!
      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 ><
      ^ These 3 may be more likely because of the IH current series. This may be the year I fill out my main doll set :sweat
       
    15. I'd like to treat myself to a nice new doll ^^ I really want a Fairyland Chloe, but she's a little out of my price range at the moment so I think I'll aim for my little Dream of Doll Libra(HaHa) instead ^^

      But mostly I'm going to focus on doll face ups and clothes making, with a bit of furniture/prop making on the side :)
       
    16. My biggest doll plan for 2014 is to bring home my grail doll... an Iplehouse I've had my eye on since the beginning! I'd also like to learn how to repair the chipped resin on one of my used dolls (came to me in that condition) and perhaps create a story around my bjd family. I'd love to write and haven't done so for quite a while. Maybe they will help inspire me.
       
    17. My doll plans are get my DollLove Kaja should be any day now, pay off my Resin Soul Mei, pay off my sisters Doll Chateau Ada, pay off my Ring Doll Shelly, Order my LUTS Model Delf Avalanche and Order my Kid Delf Basil. They are my plans but who knows I will probably buy more LMAO
       
    18. My plans:

      1) Finish building my diorama
      2) Practice more face ups
      3) Get the first boy in the family This seems to be the hardest of all, I'm not sure if I should get a jid, model delf or a minifee. :/
      4) Buy a Pukifee PongPong

      I hope I can keep up with myself! ~
       
    19. 1) Finish the dress I'm working on
      2) Knit a scarf for my doll with some left over wool.
      3) make a new crochet bikini.
      4) learn how to face up on that cheap head I bought on e-bay.
      4) at the end of the year, either buy an ipplehouse boy or a doll-chateau lady.
       
    20. I have a new plan!
      Once my DC Bella head arrives I'm going to get a layaway for a DC boy body.
      When I have payed it off Im going to get a aileen dragon(undecided which one..)
