BJD Goals for 2021

Hello everybody! We are welcoming a new year, and thus, it is time for the goals of the year. I like doing this to have some sort of sense of direction to where my hobby is going during a given day. I know 2020 was crazy, and the new normal is probably going to be weird... but I'll try to put up so goals and stick to it!

Before we start, have a Cookie. She is looking adorable in this new dress!

So, my goals for this year are the following:

1. Sewing, a lot.
You know that sewing has always been a passion for me. Nonetheless, at some point, I stopped enjoying it. Mostly, because the fabrics I could get were not really adequate for dolls. Moving overseas did change that, and now I have access to them! I still wish I had purchased more notions (buttons and the like). But for now, I'm very settled. And I want to sew a lot.


2. Replace Cookie and Merry's wardrobe
Well, I have limited space. And these two do have a lot of clothes that I am not happy with anymore. So while I sew new stuff for them, I will throw others. I often retrieve things like laces, buttons, snaps, velcro (if good and reusable), and then discard the outfit.
Now that I think about it, I may do the same with Venezia's clothes. She really needs a revamp!


3. Update Etsy with Patterns
The problem is... I don't have one anymore. So I ended up 2020 with a bunch of sheets with all the patterns drawn, folders with all the tutorials already ready... and no way of scanning those dang patterns. I have at least 5 or 6 to upload. I must do something about it.


4. Restart the Photography Videos
The problem is that I felt it was useless. I got barely any traction about them, and when I pointed people towards them, they just brushed it off. That's why I ended up doing the photo challenge and explaining settings/trickls there, just to do a simplified version.
Will see what happens in this year. Maybe I'll do it.


5. Connect More
I work a lot, and then that worns me out. The problem is, I comment less and less in blogs, and also in social networks. I want to get over that, and start comming and reading out again. I miss the community!


6. Reviews and Comparisons
In 2020 I purchased some things I haven't reviewed still -like shoes for Venezia. I miss those posts and I think they are useful. I am hoping to buy some more stuff (sewing notions, maybe some props?) so probably I will put those here.


7. Sell Customized Plapicos
This is a very long shot, and I don't believe I will make it. I really enjoyed painting the dragons in 2020. And I want to keep doing it, but gathering some profit so I can purchase other stuff -like a full frame camera. I don't know. Will see what happens.

And I think this is all for today!! Thanks for reading. Are you going to set up goals for this year? I'd love to read them!
