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 your doll plans for 2015?

Dec 24, 2014

    1. Update - 2/22

      Definite:
      -Bring OM Lin home!
      --In progress: Very slowly saving up. Selling my MT Rachel will help a lot!Ordered on 2/22!!! Eeee, I'm so excited!
      -Have one full outfit ready for OM Lin.
      --In progress: Still need socks, underwear, and a cute wig. Done!
      -Clean up character profiles.
      --In progress.
      -Give OM Lin a faceup from an artist. --No progress. This will be saved for last since I'm a bit unsure on what I want.

      Maybe:
      Plan Little Monica Enrill/Eden?
       
    2. -get new Souldoll Zenith girl body
      -pre-order Volks Snow Hatsune Miku
      -decide what other bjd to adopt while waiting for Volks SHM...;)
      -more clothes for the kids!
      -finish sewing bjd dress...:lol:
      -sell old clothes, shoes, etc...
       
    3. Wow, I made it all the way until February before things went off the rails! :D

      Definite
      * Build up a little more stock of purchased clothing.
      * Do faceups/blushing on Winry, Alphonse, Razzy, and Izi (inclusive of all sizes). -- 2/22 Winry is waiting for the weather to improve
      * Do final cleanup, retouching and blushing for big Jace. -- 1/14 DONE! Technically he still needs a bit of gloss, eyelashes, and restringing, but that's relatively small compared to where he started yesterday
      * Redo Adet to the proper skintone, testing out the Mod Podge sealing technique to preserve the color.
      * Get some Spoonflower "kits" designed and uploaded for sale, and ordered so I can create the tutorials too.
      * Finish the current doll bed with its mattress, bedding and quilt (also do a tutorial for the quilt kit).

      Ongoing/Carryover from last year
      * Continue working on clothing patterns.
      * Continue making actual clothing.
      * Finish up Cetewind's wig (now that the right parts are here).
      * Continue working on Ed's automail mods (both MNF and LTF sizes).
      * Complete (more or less) replacing all eyes and wigs that still need replacing.

      Hopeful
      * Get Instar blushed and work on his wig.
      * Settle on a look for and blush/redo all the Soomlings.
      * Snag a couple of Soom bodies for the catgirls.
      * Bring home three additional dolls (FairyLand, Little Monica, Luts) to "complete" two sets. -- Whoops modified! It's now going to be six additional dolls; ordered an Illusion Spirit doll I've had my eye on before the end of the discontinuation event, adding one more FairyLand, and a third from a currently undecided company.
      * Replace Gabriel's body (again), and sell off the current one (then get him in line for his mods) -- Body has been found; just need to finalize information for order and resin matching.

      Longshot
      * Get a couple of F60s.
       
    4. Ideally I'd love to finish 'upkeeping' the Pullips before jumping headfirst into this hobby. Y'know, buying wigs, finding outfits for the resident nudists, buying new bodies for those who have pesky broken type 3 hands...

      :lol: but let's face facts, that's unlikely to happen because I have zero self control, so all of that will likely be put on the back burner. As soon as I have the funds, I would LOVE to buy at least 2 more babies this year, and 2 minis. I have my eye on:

      DL Wen Wen

      Mystic Kids Christina
      (plus adorable outfit for Christina)

      Angel Fantasy Lina
      (plus outfit)
      (and wig)

      Little Monica Elena
      (again, outfit)
      (and wig!)

      I'd also really love to buy a casual outfit for Yoh, my YoYo, seeing as her sailor suit is very formal :)
       
    5. - Glass eyes for everyone. Although finding the right shade for two of my dolls will be a challenge, since I want a very close match for their current default acrylic eyes.
      Done except for one! I found the perfect eyes for one of the two, but not the other. That's going to be a tough color to match.

      - Repairing and refurbishing a 35-year-old dollhouse for my PukiPuki.
      Not yet, but I did get it cleaned up.

      - Improving my photography skills.
      Working on it. I'm doing a doll-a-day project on Flickr, too.

      - Improving my sewing skills. I'm still not where I want to be as far as making outfits goes.
      Working on this too. One of these days I'll learn how to sew in a perfect sleeve.

      - Maybe adding a boy or two to my current all-female BJD family?
      Got my first boy character on order! He'll be the only boy Pukifee among twelve girls, so he'll either love it or really, really hate it. ;)
       
    6. I don't have a lot of plans, since I tend to do things as they come up. But these are the things I do want to get done this year.

      - Finish making Thalia's outfit

      - Redo Nyx's face up
      - Hopefully find a new wig for Nyx

      - Purchase DOD E-an for Moonlight
       
      1. Purchase two dolls for my characters Tyler and Rose. I have Tyler's sculpt picked out and am planning on purchasing her on the 2nd February.
      2. Purchase wigs for Kilian, Tyler and Rose.
      3. Purchase eyes for Tyler and Rose.
      4. Mod Tyler and Rose (Tyler is missing a hand and Rose is missing half a leg)
      5. Improve my sewing to make clothes for all my dolls.
      6. Take at least one of my dolls to a con.
      7. Do at least one photoshoot per doll.
      8. Redo Willow's faceup.
      9. Make miniature books and other props.
      10. Improve photography of dolls.
      11. Have Willow, Kilian, Tyler and Rose completed.
       
    7. Make /acquire more clothes for Ivy
      develop her garden
      put together a Pukipuki pukisha and different cat faces
      resist the urge to buy a bazillion Sosos
       
    8. -Finish the dollhouses for my current dolls
      -pay off the credit card and stop looking at ebay
      -(when above happens, maybe put another pukipuki or a pukifee on layaway)
      -make some clothes for my littlfee!
       
    9. 1. Growing my doll members...(there are 13-14 dolls in my story line...set up still)

      3. Saving up for traveling to Taiwan and buying more doll stuff!!
      4. BUY SWITCH WASEON! or I have to keep saving~I do not want to give up XDDDDD
      5. Learning how to do doll face up and if I can work on it!
      6. Learning how to sew dresses and making my own doll clothes....saving plan(?)
      ....and more

      6. Get them their clothing
      7. get the blank character and send them off to get done -.-
       
    11. -pay down my PayPal credit so that I don't feel guilty every time I look at it...(-_-)
      -figure out my new tan LTF Ante's final outfit and name her!
      -organize all my clothes and wigs better
      -maybe start making my own doll clothes rather than spending money on them
       
    12. I hope to buy at least 3 girls and hopefully 1 boy, that is if I find one I love. Out of the three, one is definite and will be my first I'm just waiting for her to be available. I already bought an outfit for her and am waiting on it to come in. I'm excited! :)
       
    13. Wow, I had thought I had posted to this already but... it looks like I planned out something to write but never post it.

      Definite
      • Buy a body for my B&G TOW Burrysa
      • Buy school uniforms for all my Yo-SD size dolls
      • Buy Mary Janes style shoes for my girls
      • Make sure everyone has socks and panties
      • Get everyone wigs that fit

      Possibly
      • Start hoarding small pieces (like leggings, shirts, skirts) ect. to have a collection of mix and match clothes that can be shared with all Yo-SD dolls
      • Make a pattern for leggings or pants because B&G legs are long
      • Try to make my own brushed yarn wigs
      • Make a diorama or backdrop for my Yo-SD sized dolls
      • Try to make yarn brushed wigs

      General Guidelines for Spending
      • Paying back student loans take presence over any doll spending.
      • Any money for anything else other than my salary can be used on dolls.
      • Only emergencies go on the credit card. Nothing else.
       
    14. Receiving my Angell-Studio Elizabeth and Loongsoul doll Antje. Hoping to buy a male bjd too. Possibly the Sebastian Michaelis. I'm stalking the page for updates on that XD
       
    15. Well, I saved up enough money to get Iplehouse's Shane and maybe enough for Eric if I can. I've already preordered Ringdoll Lucifer's head and I'm planning on his body after Shane and possible Eric. Ringdoll just released a new limited, though, that I absolutely adore, and if I decide to get him I will have to sacrifice one of my others or at least put them to the side, so I'm a bit conflicted.
