End of 2015

So I have been massively bad when it comes to dolly photos in 2015, and posts on my much neglected blog-s.

I'd make a New Year's resolution to attempt to change, but I don't know how good I would be at it!

So... my year in dollies in 2015:



I only got six dolls, which feels really strange to have so few, I think it's the smallest number I have gotten in one year since I started collecting.

They are:

  1. Samhain - Withdoll Werewolf Baby Raul
  2. Dii Casses - Delf Art Lupinus Lishe (incomplete fullset)
  3. Nic Naomhim - Delf Art Perennis Lishe
  4. Elen - Delf Elf Dreaming Lishe 2005
And I finally received the bodies I ordered from Fairyland for the boys last year, so Alastir & Bres both are complete now, and Alastir got to keep the black mechanical arm.

Other than that, I said goodbye to a couple of dolls, Vesna and Cassius, leaving my Soom dolls down to 2. Arum is also up for sale, but I've had no bites as of yet.

There were plenty of faceups and tattoos done in 2015 - meaning that Aera Cera and Damara are completed with tattoos; Alastir & Bres both have faceups now and my only floating head (now named Olwen) also has a faceup. I've booked in a few slots for Jan 2016 for Elen and Caesair to be redone.

As for incomings, there's only one - I've paid off my Twigling Ingenue and I'm just waiting for her to be delivered!

So I wonder what 2016 will bring...

Purchases...


So I took advantage of the Fairyland Feeple65 event to purchase a couple of bodies for my boys, Alastir and Lir.  When the muscular Roke body was briefly available, before it was taken off sale, to give one of the boys the muscular body. But it got taken off sale, so no problems at all!

So I got a Rho and another Ital, and I was suckered into buying that arm... helpfully I'll be able to get rid of the faceplate, since I don't want it really (not a fan). I'm also probably going to try to sell the other faceplate too, because why would I need yet another Ital? (of course is that not another silly question? How many do I have already?)

But the question really has to be, who gets the arm? There's going to be a fight royale when it comes in with the bodies, because each of the three boys, Alastir, Bres and Lir will be able to wear it and each of them will most definitely want to wear it!

I also have to get Bres a faceup between now and when his body arrives, so that he's not the only one without one! Plus, while I have one extra pair of jeans, I don't have enough F65 sized male clothing to dress all three of them, so I have to do some purchasing there. I'm definitely tempted by some of the more classic outfits that Iplehouse have to offer in their SID section, so perhaps one of the two, Alastir or Bres, might end up looking a bit more "old fashioned" as such.

Now that I've decided that Bres will be the blonde, and Lir of course being a red-head, I want Alastir to be a brunette or have black hair, so the three of them look different. So another item goes onto the list, a wig for Alastir! Too many things on the shopping list in some ways.

What else is happening? Other than me losing track of my ADAD for this year and seemingly unable to force myself to get up to date, and thinking yet again of selling a couple of my collection, I have made one other, non-Lishe related - purchase.

I signed up for the 2015 payment plan offered by Twigling for one of her 67cm girls. I haven't chosen the sculpt as of yet, although I'm leaning towards getting the Ingenue. Since she also fits into Iplehouse clothes, I've been drawn to the wonderful classic outfits they do with the big dresses and it's so tempting to get something like that for my incoming girl. She doesn't have a name yet or anything else that is really planned.

The Slow-down: 2016-2019

Wow. I used to collect a lot, and now, I don't do a lot of collecting at all. My collection has slowed to a crawl - some of it is prob...
