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 are to start doing face ups. I also want to buy more doll clothes and shoes. And I would like to learn how to make clothes for them.
       
    2. I would like to make a graphic novel from my collection. I am right now working on characters, location and design on one home.
       
    3. Here are my goals for 2014. These are in no particular order except for the first one which is my highest priority right now.

      1. Get faceups for both of my current dolls.
      2. Restring and hot glue suede my Resinsoul Dian.
      3. Get full outfits with shoes and everything for both of my current dolls.
      4. Find good wigs for both of my dolls.
      5. Fix my sewing machine so I can start sewing my own doll clothes.
      6. Sew some clothes for both my dolls.
      7. Put in a layaway order for my next doll, probably a Doll Love Grapefruit.
      8. Put her whole look together complete with outfit, shoes, wig, faceup, and fantasy parts.
      9. Work on actually writing up all my character profiles for my doll ideas.
      10. Write some stories about my characters.
      11. Post a lot more on DoA :).
       
    4. I wish to order Bibiane from Iplehouse on the SID-Body. I really really lover her style and I look forward to sewing many many clothes for her. So i need to take a deep breath and push the order button
       
    5. My goals 2014 (before the year's end !) :D :
      1. The MUST! -sewing at least 2 set clothing for Alaistair because what he had now, just a temporary yukata...My poor boy
      2. sewing some clothing for others
      3. ordering Luts SSDF Avalanche Romance ver. -COMPLETED
      4. waiting for my SSDF
      5. searching clothing for SSDF (a bit difficult...Ohhh)
      6. restringing (Alaistair) -COMPLETED
      7. writing my doll character stories and profiles on LJ
      8. taking Ren to Thailand for his 1 year old celebration ^^
      9. taking more photos
      10. doing face up/blushing for Hanya mask (DZ) and other fox masks, fox ears, etc...
      11. waiting for other orders
      12. planning for last 2 (hope so) characters : Kaguya + Setsuha and finding right molds for them next year
       
    6. 1. Get a faceplate for my Puki body, and a sleeping face for my PKF Ante. - Scrapped: I sold the body, and ended up with a different character concept for my Ante.
      2. Send PKF Ante out for a faceup, and PP Cupid & DR Flora out for faceups and blushing.
      3. Get the current crew a pair of new eyes and a new wig each.
      4. Finalize the design and start building the display diorama for the pukis. - In progress: I've decided to do several smaller displays instead of one large display, mostly for space concerns, and I'm working on the design for the first.
      5. Get PP Cupid & DR FLora's accessories.
      6. Try to sew something for my dolls!
      7. Bring home at least one and no more than four dolls on my wishlist. - Done, sort of: I've brought home two pukis with a third on the way, plus two floating heads and possibly a third if the seller ever gets back to me. And it's only June! But they're all LEs, so I guess I had to snap them up while I had the chance, right?
       
    7. My plan for 2014 is to actually get my first doll. Once I'm done with my business in California, I'm going to order a doll. I've been waiting a long time to be able to buy one since I travel a lot and I want to be home when the doll gets there.
       
    8. And another 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. --- No further progress on this one. I do know what I'd like to try next, though.

      #2 Make more wigs. Maybe use some different materials / techniques here as well. --- Still in progress ... the last one was a while ago, but half of my crew is in self-made wigs by now.

      #2b. In the process of #2, get better at making wigs. --- Still in progress, but pretty happy with what I can make by now.

      #3 Learn moar crafts! And work on the ones I picked up this year. (More specifically, polymer clay stuffs and the like ... also, furniture.) --- Improving my shoes, if that counts.

      #4 Continued from this year's plans - get as many of the main crew home as possible. --- News o'the day! One still on order, one arrived. :)

      #5 Now that my doll sewing has improved a bit, maybe really make some clothes for sale ... if I dare. :sweat --- ummm ... nope. Still nope. :sweat
