Dollieh Sanctuary

When do/did you feel too many dolls is too many?

I think I'm getting there and want to call a moratorium on buying new plastic people, except for the Obitsu 11cm, for a good while. I have 3 blank heads, 3 customs without heads that aren't my head swapping bods, one waiting for me to decide if I want to sculpt a head for it and which head, another one coming in for a custom head that I have to make, and one coming in I consider a "work" doll that I don't want that much but feel I need to get any way.

Running out of names, no ideas what to do with most of them, and part of my house hunting plans include a place where the dolls can have their own room and some may end up being put in "storage" for lack of a place to put them.

I have managed to refrain from buying any dolliehs since my acquisition of Johnny (Liv doll Jake) last January. I have been officially two months without buying any new dolls at all. Trust me, this is a bit of a record for me, since even when I'm not going to Wally World or Target I'm usually haunting the Goodwill and other thrift stores looking for great secondhand buys.

I only have 4 girl dolls that I consider my "big girls", my more high-end ones. I have some character dolls that I've kept around like my Sailor Moons and my mom's old Barbies. Right now I've told myself no more girls until I start getting some boys too.
My with embyquinn. I do love going to Salvation Army looking for neat doll stuff. :D

I decided back in December no more dolls till I finish some of these WIPs. I did get a body for a rolling head but I think that falls under working on WIPs.

When I start to notice that whoever the next one is suppose to be, there's already a similar personality that's taken for said scale.

Which makes little sense what you have three dolls who are suppose to be different aspect of the same character (By now there's a forth one who's the 1/3 version of said character).

So no third teenage 1/6 girl for me. Although there's a chibi version of someone running around

I developed a new rule this year. No more dolls bigger than 1/6. I am down to the two MSDs I adore and who are characters in my writing. I have 1/6 dolls coming in to finish out the rest of my cast . Everyone fits on one table. If they don't have an already established character-they can't come home. I have exactly enough lvingroom furniture to seat everyone.

I have a rule for myself now as well, no more 1/6 girls until I get a 1/3! I've got a foot tall army just about ready to mutiny on me. >.>

Well, I need a 1/6 male (or two), and I need a body for my Joshua head when Emory gets more in.
I have two pets coming. Then I really need to stop and concentrate on what I have.
Except...

...That will make a perfect body for Jimmy and that one looks like Robin and I don't have one of that brand and...

i see tons of great deals on pretty dolls i want to just snag up, but i keep telling myself if i spend money on this one when will i have money again to spend on one i really wanted so should i buy the one that currently struck my eye. Typically i debate it for a few days and decide not to buy it and just wait til i can save up more or wait a sufficient amount of time and buy something i actually want, now i say this as i have 5 floating heads, 2 full dolls without hair, 3 more that need better wigs, and some that could use shoes or new clothes. so what do i do? i am buying a new head tonight for a hybrid i am excited about for modding the hell out of a body for it so i will need another body for this floating head. darn it...... /sigh oh well life goes on lol. also adding to my need for more wigs and clothes.

on a different note, anyone know a good brand shoe for bobobie isabella/march i bought my daughter a pair based on foot length for her isabella but they were a lil wide and child like. they fit but they're not perfect and too young.
