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. -Order Switch Shiho Head and Akagi-Doll Body
      -Save up for a male Soom Dia or a MD of Soom, depending on how much I like the dolls they'll bring out this year
      -keep an eye out for YoSD-sized dolls with hooves
      -spoil the dolls I already have with clothes (especially the girl)
      -find out how much a kidney is worth and sell mine

      Well... I guess the last one won't come true, even if I really could put the money out of that to good use. Thank God I am old enough to start working during summer this year so I can earn myself a little extra amount of Doll-Money.
       
    2. To finally purchase either Elin from Iplehouse or Pukilily from doll fairy land. it's the ideal dream at least. OH and to order proper clothes for my MSD boy that I already have.
       
    3. ~ Save up for and order an Illusion Spirit, either Annabel or Phoenix, in tan skin
      ~ Sew more clothes for Zeke and Amie, at least one article a month
      ~ Finally figure out the details and write the story surrounding my SDs
      ~ Learn the basics of doll photography (and photography in general >.>")

      If I can continue to do well in school (tricky, but doable if I work hard), I might conceivably be able to put aside some money for my hobbies in the near future, which means more art markers, more fabric, and best of all, more dolls! If I continue to try my hardest to get my life in order, I foresee 2015 bringing a lot of good BJD things my way :dance Here's hoping, huh? I'll try my best!
       
    4. Definite:
      Lume Koit Elf is home as of 1/26/15.
      Dika Doll Tea is home as of 2/20/15.
      Pukisha faceplate completed 2nd Puki Puki as of 3/31/15.
      Soom (BK) Noellia is home as of 3/25/15.
      Keep making doll clothes!
      Priority:
      Save up for two more Lume dolls before the line is discontinued!
      So very close... Done! Paid for as of May 17th.
      Buy sealant ect. from Volks. Done as of September.
      Buy a respirator from Lowe's or Amazon. Done as of September.
      Give all five blank dolls face-ups. Make that seven... or nine.
      One done of September 19.
      Make more props/ accessories and furniture.
      Sectional sofa in progress
      Buy wigs for the 3 or 4 who need them.
      Buy better eyes for several dolls from Captured in Glass.
      Write back stories. (In progress)
      Hopeful:
      Start photo stories.
      DZ Anita head.
      Blue Fairy Pocket Fairy.
       
    5. I am currently learning to knit after having learned crochet and getting hooked on it, so hopefully, I will have more clothes for my BJDs!

      I also need to change the eye color of my LUTS zuzu delf toya (rabbit). I am hoping to get her into a wig. I wanted to do lavender, but it wouldn't match my room decor which is a neutral light green and gray/black/white, so I may just do her in a white wig, and change her eyes to something light green.
       
    6. 1. Most importantly, get more clothes for my 3 dolls. I think I've got Sammi covered, but I still have yet to find something satisfying for Nilla. And Ebony can always use more clothes.

      2. Decide whether I want to sell my Souldoll Lev head. He was my only impulse buy, and I do like him, but I haven't done anything with him. I'm just scared that if I sell him, I will want one in a few years but will never find one again since he's been discontinued.

      3. Get Charlotte! She's a DIM girl for sure, but I'm not sure which sculpt exactly.

      4. Learn to make cute lolita clothing for Charlotte, and/or buy her some cute dresses.

      5. If I mqnage all of that in 2015, I'll be ecstatic! My plans after that are to get more big guys to go with Ebony. Don't know who yet, though. A Simply Divine Thomas? A Migidoll Yujin? An Iplehouse boy? We'll see.
       
    7. - Receive my Yujin head from Migidoll.
      - Find a body for the head, so then i can put Colby togeather.
      - Finish Gavins faceup.
      - Hopefully purchase a gray Resinsoul ming, without hooved feet.
      - Finish the couch I was making for my SD dolls.
       
    8. I definitely want to get my first doll this year and be able to clothe him. I don't think he will be getting a face-up until the year after, so I suppose I'll take it one year at a time with completing my first doll's look.
       
    9. Ok, these should be a little more specific and definitely obtainable... right?

      1. Polish off existing dolls who aren't finished.
      -Make a decision about Mina's wig: purchase new?
      -Eudora's blushing
      -Peg blushing (wings included); get Peg wigs
      -Make decision about Antal's wig; purchase new? get second?
      -Get Sitara her beautiful smokey gray eyes
      -Make decision about Sala wig: get a new one?

      2. Get a body for the floating head. (Mirodoll)

      3. Decide who the new hybrid is/name. Get her eyes and a wig... and something to wear.

      4. Get my Time Lady. (Island Doll Vivien; 6 month layaway on MoC)

      5. Post at least four pictures a month on current collection. (These must be pictures taken in that month. May be for the Photochallenge group on DA.)

      6. Do 3 creative projects this year (doesn't include the Comfy swop or making something for the Winter Meet up). [Make a piece of furniture, sew some clothes, make props, etc.]

      7. Start the doll apartment.
       
    10. I have more of a promise than a plan: I will not purchase any new dolls untill I have all my now in layaway/paid/in production dolls at home. So I am waiting for my layaway of Soom Adamelli to end, and DC Hilary and Withdoll Luna to arrive untill I can buy new ones.

      On planning side, I have few photostory ideas to do, and I have to style the three dolls above. And all my dolls need new clothes. Also, I am thinking about making clothes to sale and if I have time, I could attend swap or few. ^^
       
    11. - Give Jack his faceup. He's been faceless since November
      - Save up for Chun's replacement body
      - Save up for a bookshelf to move my smaller dolls and their things to. I would love to finally give them their music and dance studio.
      - Give Helen her official background photoshoot. She has her clothes but I had no time.
      - Sew more clothes for Helen and Chun and let them add on to their existing projects
      - Organise the dolls fabric stash
      - Buy clothes and shoes for Jack

      - Hopefully save up and buy an Iplehouse Dexter, so that Jack can have the newer body and I get a 2nd head to work with.
      - Find a nice 1/6 scale Anthro fox (non-Fennec).
       
    12. I am receiving my first doll ever sometime this year (hopefully? maybe 3-4 months from now..).
      While I'm waiting, I'm going to get the supplied I need to do her faceup/body blushing, as well as make some clothes for her and have a wig ready.
      Should also get a head to practice on, considering I've never done a faceup or anything of the sort before...

      After that, I'll slowly work on getting another doll. I'm thinking a DC Queena. :)
      I'll work on my idea for her, then get her a buddy friend and do the same to him.

      Theeennn... I'll see what happens. xD
       
    13. the plan for 2015
      I will buy some clothes of soom or iplehouse for my doll
      I will change my doll eden's make-up
      I hope to buy some dolls of soom:berrica,ender and so on
      I think the first one I must to do it
      I hope I can control myself ,control the cost on the doll
       
    14. I've only been in the hobby for a couple months so 2015 there are a lot of dolly plans!

      -Get more clothes that fit my character's style
      -Buy them new wigs
      -Develop their character, background, and story more
      -Learn to sew to make clothes for them
      -Start buying face-up supplies so I can try for my first face-up
      -Make small props/accessories
      -Maybe try to do a photostory/ take more pictures
      -Try to not go broke buying dolly things
       
    15. My doll plan for 2015 is getting my LE Segi Twin girl and a Lolita body for my Goldie head from Peakswoods.
      Buy more beautiful dresses from Dollheart.
      I will probably try to sell of some of my other dolls.

      I hope Peakswoods and Dollheart will come up with great new things 2015. But my wallet hopes not.. :P
       
    16. I didn't have much of a doll hobby plan for last year. . . and so did not finish much :sweat

      This year I'll try to keep it simple. . . but I WILL have a plan.

      *Practice face-ups on my practice head. . . instead of leaving it blank.
      *Sew clothes for Corinne! I've had her for a year and a half and she still only has four outfits. . . and no accessories. . . So this is high(est) priority.
      *Save up for an early 2016 doll purchase and/or Dollism Plus (if/when it occurs again).
      *Buy a Dollheart Fukubukuro (or two) in the fall.
      *Update doll blog 2-4 times a month! Hopefully this will provide motivation to do all of the above goals.
      *And to help with the blog: Practice taking photos of Corinne. It's not my favorite part of the hobby, so I avoid it, and then I don't have any pretty pictures of the stuff I do make. So this year I shall learn how to take good photos.
       
      • Learn how to sew and hopefully get a sewing machine! Eventually to where I can make some really nice dresses for when I get my Linda in!
      • Do more faceups!
      • Purchase a Dollzone Miss Kitty for myself! Oh god she's just so adorable!
      • Practice my photography, go out and take pictures in the gardens around here.
      • Go to a meetup.

      Those are just some of the few things I want to do this year. Another thing I would like to do, but don't have my heart set on, is to make some doll furniture. Probably won't work on that until I see my husbands family. As they have the materials and tools necessary for making shop/wood work.

      All in all, just expanding areas that I can be creative in. Along side meeting people at meetups.
      I found a really nice place where I can picture a meetup happen at. Its a boba tea cafe; they have little tea cakes and cookies!
       
    17. 1) Receive my 5th Motif Venitu
      2) learn to crotchet and knit
      3) earn some money for my [potential] future dolly
      4) try my hands at clay again and maybe make some things to sell
      5) actually take decent pictures
      6) figure out what to do with my first doll

      But we'll see if I actually get around to doing any of this... aside from no. 1!
       
    18. ​2015 doll plans:
      1. Receive my second Bjd
      2. Buy a wig for my girl doll
