Nonetheless, I've still enjoyed walking into a room and seeing their bright, cheery smiles. All my dolls are patient and understanding. They are always there when I have the time and inclination for them. Totally non-judgemental.<br /><br />Life can keep me busier in some time periods than others. I've always viewed this as normal.<br /><br />Wanting another doll? Mmn, I've been gradually coming to the decision that my current collection offers a variety of sculpts, hair/eye combos, and skin colors. Within recent years, I've noted that new offerings seem to have features that are already in my collection... just in a different mix. Thus, I'm just not as interested in adding more of the same.<br /><br />I also tend to enjoy original face sculpts more. If I can pick out features of previous face sculpts in a 'new' mold, I'm less likely to be interested.<br /><br />Personally, I think knowing what you like... learning what is personally appealing... is part of all this.<br /><br />I also find that focusing on enhancing the story lines of my existing characters or coming up with my DIY characters is very creative. I tend not to tire of dolls that I've had for quite a while because of this. It means that they are not static... but evolving. Also this means that my enjoyment of them continues to evolve. Getting a new doll with limited appeal just because she's a fairly recent release doesn't work for me. I don't always like the physicality of some of the dolls. Nor do I always like the themes. Therefore, choosing just the things which I like seems to mean that I use and enjoy them. Whatever appeals to me initially about a doll, just seems to always be there for me.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361340828824374941.post-49800209016104406472016-10-07T09:14:09.526-07:002016-10-07T09:14:09.526-07:00Exactly!

Yeah, I definitely have these moments, mostly when I think to myself "What on earth, I'm fifteen years old, have a lot of homework to do, and am instead putting a dress on a doll" and even more so when I tell myself I just don't want to do make a post right now! But I'm not leaving, as, just as you said, I'm finding new aspects of doll blogging I love. <br />Same as you, I don't have any dolls I feel I 'need' right now, but Melody is cute. <br />Finally, I love your new 'Emma's Wisdom' posts!

I always see people leave the hobby because they just "aren't feeling their dolls anymore" and then they abruptly leave, it's makes me so mad because people change over time and doll collecting/blogging or whatever is it can change and grow with you. You just have to give it time :) But I do understand that some people do move on, and it is ok! This was such an excellent post Emma!
