December 2017 was to see the end to my
dolly splurging. I thought 80 BJD's and 40 play dolls were quite enough to keep me busy for the rest of my days! And surely they should be, and besides which, I simply don't have the room for any more.
I kept telling myself there was a very positive side to this decision . . . like having more money to spend on shoes, wigs, backdrops, as well as fabrics and yarns to make new clothes for all my dolls. However, looking at my many different stashes, I really do doubt if I will ever need more than I have already.
Now in making that decision in December and being quite determined to stop the impulse buying, I had no idea that one of the dolls that had been sitting quietly on my wish list, would suddenly become available. Not to mention, the doll was
in stock at the time, so no waiting apart from the shipping time.
Oh my! What a dilemma I was facing . . . will I? Or won't I? I mean, just how often do these dolls appear on an
IN STOCK list? The temptation was great . . . however she was a TINY and just 11" tall, so I didn't cave in this time. Had she been a MINI it might have been a different story. :)
So to keep to my numbers and allow a space for a future Kaye Wiggs 13" doll, I plan to sell the one doll I rarely
play with as separate pieces and being Volks the parts are very heavy. Please see
My 4 Sale page.
This year, I am more determined to catch up on all the outstanding dolly projects which I planned to do last year. I shall, of course, continue my obsession of knitting and sewing for dolls. With a little
luck perseverance, I might even manage to write a few more short stories and organise a new dolly clothes shop. :)
Most importantly, I plan on organising all my doll clothes and shoes into sizes, so I can see at a glance, what is going to fit a particular doll that I plan on dressing. It shouldn't be too difficult, but could become a little time consuming, so I'll be back online when I'm done.
