2016 Balance

It is December, so that means that the year balance is here! I personally think that this year was not that good, but we'll see... I originally posted my goals for 2016 on past January, but I will be copying a summary and "answering" to myself here.

If you did your goals, I invite you to do this, it can be interesting! Let's go!


Photography: practice and improve. Get the remote control.
Ehm... I took some photos, I don't feel I have improved at all, though. I still heavily dislike my photos, and I was really busy and couldn't take as much as I wanted. Didn't get the remote control, as I discarded it early on the year.


Steampunk Victorian bustle gown for Coco. Make a Project journal an da video with voice-over.
I did this!!! I did the outfit and the project journal, and when I did the video I managed to record my first voice-over ever. I don't like my childish voice at all, but oh well...

For Calina: Steampunk dress and wa-loli outfit.
Well, another half. I did a regency steampunk dress for Calina and also made a video for her, even with voice-over. I didn't manage to be able to do the wa-loli outfit, sadly D:


Wishlist:

1. Tiny stands for Cookie and Merry. Got them! They were a present from my hubby <3
2. Urethane eyes for Cookie and Merry. A dubious one. I got them, they were a bday present from hubby, but they have been stuck at customs for 4 months already. On Friday my dad got an ETA for me: several more months, sadly.
3. Iplehouse Doll Choice JID Violet. Bought her!! And I even bought Cookie on kitty form. Hopefully, she will ship and arrive during 2017.
4. Urethane eyes for Coco and incoming Venezia. Another dubious one. I bought them, but they are also stuck at customs... 1 and a half months for this package, but still stuck. The ETA my dad got me was February/March 2017.
5. More LullabyPoem wigs. I didn't bought this, but I bought shoes! One package was a bday gift from my mother (also stuck at customs with 4 months of delay and lots more months of waiting), and the other one I bought it... I got the customs duties tax for this, paid it, but the package is now stuck at the postal service office not moving for delivery *facepalm*. No, I can't go fetch it myself either, not even paying the postal shipping either =S

Etsy: 15 commissions and 3 stock items. Partially achieved. We got our stock goal achieved, we even sold 1 item during an event (first time ever an event works out), and we did a lot of commissions, but we didn't reach the goal of 15.


Sewing comissions: at least 2, and sell the Pukifee Yukata. I did five sewing commissions this year! Regency dresses, a kimono/warrior like outfit, a cocktail dress inspired on Daisy Ridley's dress, and a Penny Dreadful dress. The Yukata is still up for grabs, sadly.


Take a photo of me and Coco wearing N7 hoodies. I did this thing!!! I made the hoodie, made the zipper for the hoodie, and took the photo of us! Even though I can barely be seen, it still counts. Loved doing this.


Keep improving and dare on things I didn't dare before. I think I did quite big things this year regarding my sewing. I did period dresses for my commissions, I learned to knit, also did the hoddie and a jean that I need to post here... also, I think that my diorama project counts as "things I didn't dare before"! xD

Join DoA's Thriathlon 2016. Nope. I was busy doing commissions and already burnt out from an awful year, and between work and other things I didn't had time to do it, sadly.



Well, I honestly thought I did it worse. It is a shame that my packages are still stuck, otherwise you would have been flooded with reviews and some video reviews of the eyes I wanted to make. I hope things will get organized, I need my stuff!

And I will be doing the goals for 2017 in January! I have them mostly thought up, and hope to manage to achieve most of them. Anyways, how did your doll goals went on 2016? Hope you are having a great weekend!
