2019: Doll Goals

New year is here and so it brings new goals for this year! I love doing these posts, as it allows me to keep track of what I do, and be centered on what a few goals, instead of trying to reach to much.

On 2018's Dolly Goals, Merry had a very failed attempt at throwing darts to a target. This year, Cookie thought she will finally have her revenge. Will she? Or will something prevent her and extend her misery for another full year? Here is a pic, and the goals (and resolution of the revenge) are under the cut!

My Dolly Goals

Before putting my goals up here, I have a bomb to drop: I am moving countries. Like... actually overseas and around the world, to the opposite site of it: Australia! This was not a simple decision, and I've been toying with it since years ago. I finally took the leap. And it is happening!

As you can imagine, I will need to sell many things: my camera, for starters, clothes, props... I plan to keep my dolls, as hubby and I have been already checking how we can juggle that on the luggage. So, this year, my goals are quite modest and focused on getting things back.

1. Successfully move my dolls with me. I will need to sew bags for the dragons and Cookie. V and Coco will probably travel on their boxes, as well as Merry and KCookie. The griffin is like a teddy bear, it is soft. So no issues there.


2. Buy back another camera for photos, as it has become an integral part of my life. I want to take my 50mm lens with me. I would only need the body, something like a Nikon D7200 or D7500. If I can get back the kit lens, that would be awesome as well.


3. Manage to ship the tiny's tree house all the way around the globe. Repair it if required.


4. Prepare enough posts so I have something to post and photos to share during the time near the trip. I don't have a date yet, but it will be on the first semester. At the moment of writing this, I have posts lined up to June.


5. Get a computer or laptop back, so I can keep posting and blogging. I will need to sell everything, and I will not be taking my current laptop with me, though.


6. There were two people really kind to me in this hobby, who I want to give back to them. They both helped me with funds for my cat when I needed it before, and now with the moving as well. I have plans for what I want to give them, and I hope I can at least ship their presents late this year.


7. Coco broke her left ankle. Not the ankle, but the concave part of the joint. I'd like to repair it with epoxy, and do some resin match. I tried to resin-match with Calina, and I was terrible at it. I hope I can do it with Coco, though.


8. I needed some money for my cat, but I couldn't ship packages. So I went ahead and opened a new Etsy for digital products: I'm selling patterns for BJD clothes. For now I have 1/4 and some 1/8 outfits, because those are the sizes I have. I'm hoping to keep making patterns, also of props and furniture, so I can raise some money for my kitty. I shared it on my Instagram the expenses of moving him with me: they are ridiculously high (around $7000), and thus I need help to get the funds. Please, if you can read it and spread the world, I will be forever thankful. And you can support me through KoFi or my Etsy. My goal here is to make enough money to move him with me.

Maybe, just maybe, that blue cheese Merry brought was enough to distract her from Cookie's bad aim. And so, the kitten fairy's revenge will have to wait yet another year! Poor girl, I'm sure she will come up with something for the other year!

Anyways, silly story but here they are my goals! Do you have any dolly goals? Or do you prefer to go with the flow and remain unaccountable? Share what you do please, I love to know! Have a great January!
