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.

    2. Update 08/03- Bonnie is home and had her first outing. Her story has expanded to her 'still living' father, possibly a character that is calling to me "Bethany Anne". And I am selling my 'spare' EIDm body :o... I will replace it some time in the future with a model type of the new resin. But for now Dex will go back to his hero body.

      Planned Dolls without set time frame:
      SID Yur ; JID Edwin ; JID Sierra ; Whom ever "Bethany Anne" is O_o

      * not a priority but would be nice if I could this year ^^
      Short cuts to Iple clothing collections
      Lovely Valentine Collection ; '15 Spring Collection ; CH Weapons ; Bohemian Collection ; ?? Collection
       
    3. I have a few things I'd like to take care of this year.

      -Get new faceups for my boy and girl.
      -Create a new character for my girl, as she's not happy with what I've given her.
      -Buy/make said things.
      -Start machine sewing again when I get my sewing machine in 10 days. I really want to make all of their clothes!
      -Learn how to resize all of the American Girl patterns I have so I can make outfits for RenFest, etc.
      -And last but not least, buy KDF Basil. I don't expect her to arrive until next year, but I want to make everything she could need by then.
       
    4. I plan to buy and hybridize a Unoa Sist head onto a Minifee M-Line body. I should have the funds for that in a month or two. Can't wait! :dance
       
    5. Minifee luka or souldoll hye
       
    6. BUY ALL THE DOLLS XD

      ...really. Ok well... maybe not.

      But I do hope to buy one more before the end of the year, and sell 2.
       
    7. My list is going to be pretty basic.

      1 Buy some clothing/shoes/eyes to my incoming doll.
      2. Do the face up (and see it become a mess xD) or send the head away to get a face up.
      3. Maybe buy the Souldoll Elroy.
      4. Make a dolly corner to the doll/s.
      5. Take lots of photos.
      6. Try to make clothes and fail horrible xD

      Well thats for now
       
    8. My plan:
      1. Get all the equipment necessary and start face up practice
      2. Save up/make some money
      3. Decide on a doll
      4. Finally order a doll XD
       
    9. Primarily: manage *not* to buy any new dolls. Sell the stuff I don't need. Like, really, and without missing it (while not doing anything with it when it's locked in the dolly place).

      Besides, (but it's not necessary) try to sew something and take a few really good pics, and maybe sell some clothes? Oh, an finish one tattoo and restore one faceup...

      get a few cool wigs for the crew as well :D
       
    10. Is it too late, do you think, for 2015 dolly plans? I guess it's never too late! I'd love to:
      1. Get the supplies to start doing faceups.
      2. Faceup for my DZ Shoyo.
      3. Finish pattern development on BJD hat patterns and post the patterns in my Etsy shop for sale.
      4. Start a room sized for staging my MSD dolls.
      5. Body Blushing for my little BBB dragon boy, Pixiu.
      6. Sew some new clothing for my girls.
      7. Develop a pattern for a necktie for MSD boys.
      8. Maybe finally get a MNF, preferably Mirwen, whose my ultimate grail doll right now.
      9. New wig(s) for my pukipuki Pong.
      10. Develop a crochet pattern for MSD-sized tote bag.
       
    11. Bodies! I have too much flying heads (and I dislike flying heads).
      I need one girl body : probably a Dollstown new 13years body
      And I need two boy bodies. Problem: one of those two bodies needs to be really feminine, so I'm considerating to take a spiritdoll proud girl body (old version) and to mod it into a male body. The other body may be a popodoll 68cm but I'm not so sure about it. Still thinking about this.
       
    12. I have been looking at Dim Larina lately, I have been collecting Fairyland dolls but Larina is on my wish list.
       
    13. I'm just getting back into the hobby for the first time in almost 3 years so I have a lot of plans!

      1. Find new owners for the dolls I am no longer keeping (One sold, two left)
      2. Re-imagine my MNF Ryeon (Currently on the way to getting her new faceup, waiting on a wig, clothing, and eyes)
      3. Find a body for my new MNF Soony Elf head
      4. Commission a faceup for MNF Soony Elf
      5. Find fabric for sewing MNF-sized tutus for my girls
      6. Buy a Littlefee Luna at the end of the year during whatever event Fairyland creates
       
    14. Well I just bought a minifee with the new soony event head <3 So I need to finish making a mohair wig for her :D and then I will need to get my hands on a pretty outfit for her >< Something blue, because she has a faceup like a water fairy :D yay!
       
    15. Updates.

      - Commission a faceup when my blank Pukifee Dony gets here. Artist has been commissioned and she's off getting her faceup. ^-^ Edit: She's back home and looks amazing. DONE!
      - Buy an outfit for my incoming Dandy Tristan. DONE!
      - Buy a MSD sized doll, but not until after I finish my current layaways. Layaways done! But this plan has been deferred until next year since I couldn't resist buying two tinies and using up my doll funds. v.v;; Edit: After selling said two dolls, I had the funds to buy an MSD, who I am currently waiting for so this is DONE!
      - Attend my first doll meet. Should be going to one in January, so excited! I wasn't able to make the January one, hopefully I'll make it to one in the future.
      - Decide on names for the new dolls once they're here. Have a few names decided, working on the others.
      - Finish Pukifee Dony's outfit. I failed miserably at this, so I have commissioned an outfit instead. Edit: Outfit was adorable but recently I've decided to go in a different direction with her style and so have commissioned a new outfit. ; v;

      - Get my grubby paws on my incoming dolls. I received the incoming dolls I meant when I posted this, but am now currently waiting on two more.
      - No more dolls this year. Haha, that lasted about three months. Now I have two incoming dolls. ^-^;;
      - Take more pictures of my dolls. I keep putting this off as none of my dolls are "complete." Hopefully once I manage to complete everyone's outfits, I'll start taking pictures of them.

      -
      Find a wig I like for Klaus. I think I've been through about five wigs and currently have two coming for him. I am really hoping I like at least one of them so he can stop being bald! >o<
      - Complete everyone's looks.
       
    16. Another small update for myself, since a few things did get done.

      Definite
      * Build up a little more stock of purchased clothing.
      * Do faceups/blushing on Winry, Alphonse, Razzy, and Izi (inclusive of all sizes). -- 3/10 Winry and big Al are done, little Alphonse is next
      * 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. -- 9/15 Adet's been dyed, and is restrung for now; she'll get faceupped and blushed later, and may still get a bit of mod podge in the joints to protect the color
      * Get some Spoonflower "kits" designed and uploaded for sale, and ordered so I can create the tutorials too. -- 3/10 some preliminary work is done
      * 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. -- 6/17 more patterns are actually together!
      * Continue making actual clothing. -- 6/17 more clothing finished too!
      * Finish up Cetewind's wig (now that the right parts are here).
      * Continue working on Ed's automail mods (both MNF and LTF sizes). -- 9/15 LTF Ed's leg sculpting is done, MNF Ed's leg is nearly there!
      * Complete (more or less) replacing all eyes and wigs that still need replacing. -- 9/15 Another batch of eyes and wigs has been ordered; there's still quite a few to go, but some pre-organization is happening there, too

      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. -- 9/15 Liora's Soom body arrived and has had its dye work done; she's restrung for now awaiting final blushing and magnet insertion.
      * 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. -- 7/21 well this escalated quickly...
      * Replace Gabriel's body (again), and sell off the current one (then get him in line for his mods) -- 7/21 The old body's gone, so for now this one's done! (I'll worry about the mods later)
      Longshot
      * Get a couple of F60s.

      School and redoing my studio have definitely gotten in the way of some of this work, but I'm still poking away at it. It's looking like I'll have plenty to carry over into next year's list of plans, though... :sweat
       
    17. I actually have changed my doll plans A LOT.. now my goal is to finish out our Obitsu family, which HOPEFULLY will be done by Christmas but might take until sometime in January. We'll see. :p

      Also, as always, TAKE MORE PICTURES. It's never enough.
       
    18. Update 08/16 - wow been a funny month... I ended up finding and getting Edan a custom regency suit with top hat. I also found someone who sews regency dresses that are not too elaborate and will be ordering over time many items. so far I have a dress and 2 underdress's for the Elizabeth set in 'alternate colors and a pair of 'wraps'. We are working on figuring out dresses for JID girs (she's not done them and does not have models for them ^^). I will be getting 'day' and garden party wear from her for my big girls. I also nabbed an oYID outfit set called "Iris" which I have adored for a long time... I may need to find an oYID doll now lol. And the likelyhood of Yur coming home is very good this year... The only blip is Ch is releasing Bliss's "father"! I already want him based on 'who' he is... I hope he is amazing because I really don't need another EIDm anytime soon :sweat other than that just adding some clothing needs to #6 ^^

      0. Buy as little as possible during IH's Carved Heritage 2 series - 6th doll, pass!
