I have a number of custom dolls I must get finished and out to the folks who ordered them. I don't like to keep people waiting so long. I don't like it when I owe stuff. Do you ever feel that way? Does it stress you out to owe people? Whether it's money or a completed doll. I don't like that feeling very much.
So I have decided to cut down on offering custom items. I will order two custom slots per month - at the most. Is that a mistake? On the one had I like to make custom dolls because it gives me an opportunity to communicate with my customers and find out what they like. On the other hand though I get frustrated not being able to created freely. I feel a bit like a dog on a leash not being able to run to the park...Does that make sense? LOL

I do understand so well what you mean ! I feel very much the same way, I do love custom orders because sometimes they chalenge me to make something I would not normaly choose myself, but now I don't seem to have any time left to make all those ideas that are in my head. I have decided to cut down on custom orders this year, but I find it so hard to say no, especially when it is for a child....
