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. Last day of 2014 this is how it went ;)

      - Move into my new appartment and get a nice setup for all my dolls
      inkluding; Make/buy furniture and stands - Less place then expected, they have their place but it's small.. Have done a Throne for my king and have plans for more furniture though.
      - Save up for and buy a body for my floating head - Got a body, in wrong color.. Send it back and bouht an other doll for the money xD
      - Get my new Pukipuki sugar in tan and give her a wig, eyes and clothes (!!) - Sold her ><
      - Sew clothes for everyone that really fits their character - not done but almost!

      - Send my UH Rio för face-up (this takes ages because I don't know where to send him! Can't decide xD) - He's been living at my friends house almost the whole year? she did a faceup on him :)
      - Open up a shop for dollclothes - No, this won't happen this year.

      + Bought 4 new dolls and still waiting for two of them atm :)
       
    2. 06/01/15 Addendum update! - I fully achieve #1. I strung a full doll in May of '15. #4. Was completed when Yukamina opened up face up services... H. Chiron looks amazing now. From the 'pipe-dreams' I actually got both a SID and EID man when IH released CH (all dolls) for a second run. My Leo even has the tattoo! I will have 2 of my 3 'Langly' girls soon! ^^. I am putting this update here since #1,4 and the pipe-dream items were not move to the new list. I had not deliberately planned them ^^ But I met them finally at least!

      12/28 UPDATE!!! - OMG >< My main overall goal? Survive (financially) IH's Carved Heritage series! (I think I made it)..... I MADE IT! barely lol I actually met or bettered my major goals, and any I didn't meet were minor I'd call it about a 98% success! I'm good with that lol.

      Okay, my actual plans for the year!

      1. Learn to restring! Awkward attempt and Jessica's head will now stay put better? I will call this done as it is a process. DONE!
      2. Buy proper tools to restring.DONE!
      3. Pay off my Chiron centaur and bring him home! DONE!
      4. Send his and the human head 'back' to Soul Doll to get matched face ups changed mind... keeping centaur face and holding off on human head -DONE/CANCELED
      5. Buy camera accessories (namely a tripod.DONE!
      6. BRING HOME IH DEXTER! DONE!!
      7. Find safe place for Soul Doll Chiron centaur to live O_o. (may require a case?) FAIL :( Still in box...
      8. Get IH nYID... Bliss ("Carved Heritage".) full setDONE
      9. Get Enyu's 'house' out of storage and set it up (got a ton of stuff to put in already) -> On hold and perpetually being moved and used as alt storage ><.
      10. Try and get Iple's newest outfits before they disappear! also the stuff with the new theme sets (The Lady Collection) - important items aquired! only second choice line items left from Hunter AND Ladies Collectione New set as of 08/06 "The Misty Collection" ; 2014 Halloween collection ; '14 Winter Party Collection! I will call this a success as priorities change when new items come out. Some items recently released obviously go into 2015 ;p - DONE
      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 Need to do more research on stands I think I'll call this one a FAIL :(
      12. Get RE-reading E.B.'s books so I can plot out character descriptions and decided costume details. - Done
      13. Find out where to commission Enyu's clothes! - Done able to use Ken doll outfits
      14. A Doll A Day photo challenge. (June) DONE!
      15. Replace stolen camera... I can't stand not having one now. DONE! Had to upgrade to the new model & it's just enough better I love it! ^^

      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! Continual WIP getting sorted fairly well now... I will call this one DONE since new stuff means always changing it. DONE
      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 (even fixed my pillows!)
      3a. Try out sundress 'test' pattern. - maybe in 2016???
      3b. See if 'in home lessons' are possible? Never ... could not afford it.

      PIPE-DREAMS! - for when I win a lotto or??? <- the 'or' is apparently get hijacked by IH's theme tailored for just what I need. ><
      *depending on what shows up this new theme set could force the core doll set to come home faster and earlier than planned - EID couple, SID man, nYIDx1 & a super long range planned KID.
      1. 2nd & 3rd full nYID girls (the Langley girls) next year I think a body for my floating head?
      2. SID woman (Grace?) nope!
      3. 2nd EID man OR a SID maybe? unfortunately looking more than possible >< DONE Got both, Edan and Leo!
      This may be IS the year I fill out my main doll set :sweat(mostly)

      Okay regarding the Pipe Dreams section lol... :sweat I ended up with the better part of the Carve Heritage series... I kept it to 2 dolls, and filled my SIDm and 1 nYIDw slots and got a KID way ahead of plans. However this did allow me to get LE outfit/accessory sets. I got most of them. I skipped the steam punkish stuff and outfits that did not meet my eventual plans. No SIDw though (wallet is thanking me for that lol). I am paying my last CH split tonight so this section (more than I ever planned) DONE
       
    3. I did manage to do something at least...



      - Buy my first SD size girl DONE
      - getting Takanori's wrists fixed, maybe he also needs to be restringed (I decided I won't send him away, but this makes it more difficult)
      - have Hyo Shin's face-up redone and body blushing added, also buying her new hands
      - buying new wigs DONE
      - getting at least one full outfit for everyone, including shoes (I'm close! I just can't find the shoes :()
      - having Daishi's eyes fixed and his faceup done (Got the stuff to do it myself)
      - get smaller eyes for Rowena DONE
      - get Daishi his first set of eyes DONE
      - new eyes for Hyo Shin (Finding the right kind is so hard...)

      something i'm not sure i can do this year:
      - get a body for Daishi (Still looking for it, I have a WTB but no one replied :pout:)
