Miss your babies?

Artists, do you miss your babies after you sell them?
The struggle is real for me.

I probably would miss them more if I stored them in a crib or bassinet until they sell but I put them in their boxes and put them up so the kids cant reach them.

So visually the only thing missing is a box… probably makes it a little easier for me.

No I don;t miss them, or at least I haven’t missed any so far. I’d been doing what @jlesser mentioned, packing them and their goodies away in their shipping boxes so they wouldn’t be in my way. One of the last babies I sold was on facebook and I was asked for a safety photo, which required me to cut open the box, fuss with packing material and unwrap the baby just to take a photo. I’m definitely NOT doing that again lol.

My favorite ones. The ones that I carry around to stores for publicity, etc. Those are the ones that I sometimes miss. :slight_smile:

That is a good approach. I have not sold many, but the one that left recently had been sitting in my niece’s car seat that she used as an infant. I looked at it and suddenly realized its empty wah…:cry:.but there will be another one there soon.:smiley:

I have made a lot of progress in getting my studio in order so that I have good space to work.

I keep all of mine in carseats/baby crib and I do not miss them all but there are a few I have sold that I do miss, the ones I have made that I think would be very sad to never see again have become keepers lol.

I also store mine in their shipping boxes but I don’t tie the blanket around them until they’re actually going to the post office. I have 5 that I would miss but they’re not going anywhere.

I miss a few that I have sold. But I am happy that they’ve gone to good homes with people who will treasure them!

There is one in particular that I miss. She was just so cuddly and perfectly weighted.

Once in a while I fall in love with one. But I can’t say I really miss them at all. Mine are also stored in their shipping boxes that are not sealed, and my studio is full so they are in my bedroom :grin:

I don’t miss them at all but I think it’s because I know a little piece of me is in those babies and it’s great to think they are shipping all over the world :grin: Plus I feel I fall all over in love with the current baby I’m working on :grin: I’m gonna have nice pictures printed of my past babies so I can hang them in my new reborn room

Only certain ones…I miss my toddler Cuddles – she was so freaking cute!!! And the first Realborn I painted–Asher. I really hate my decision to sell these two. Dang!! But out of the few that I’ve made, it seems like a lot. Personally I’d do anything to get either baby back with their originals…Is that terrible? Yes, it’s normal!
