Announcement
Crochet doll patterns, art dolls, and more!
Please plan ahead and consider the shipping times if you are going to gift any items from my shop on certain dates. More importantly, READ THESE:
FOR DIGITAL DOWNLOADS:
1. READ THE LISTING CAREFULLY to know if you are purchasing a physical item or a DOLL PATTERN via DIGITAL DOWNLOAD. No physical item will be shipped for digital downloads. Every effort has been made to provide clear listings and descriptions. Stop blaming me or Etsy settings for customer error. Digital downloads are non-refundable. Remember, a few minutes of reading the descriptions thoroughly won't cost you anything, but wrong purchases will.
Please use hashtag #darklingsandwhimsicles in IG and FB for the dolls you made based on my patterns so I can also get to appreciate your creations.
I am available online most of the time and I can also provide support or direct you to online resources when you have questions or clarifications regarding the stitches and patterns.
FOR PHYSICAL ITEMS:
1. There may be delays in shipping of physical products especially during peak seasons. Please try not to redirect your frustrations with the uncontrollable delays and the expensive shipping fees to me. I cannot be held responsible for living geographically far, far away from everyone else. Blame it on the continental drift.
As much as I would like to provide you with quick service, the external factors affecting shipping and postal schedules are unfortunately out of my control. I truly feel bad about it. I may not be able to guarantee that the item/s will arrive on your target date due to these circumstances, but rest assured that I will continue to do my best to provide sincere and quality service.
2. I have partnered with a Freight Forwarding Company where the packages are picked up from home through another service.
To explain my shipping process, 3 separate companies handle your packages which is why the fees add up and why delivery sometimes take longer. First is the local pick up/service delivery which delivers the package to a Freight Forwarding Company. This process may take 2-3 days already as this is about the turnaround time the Company responds with the tracking numbers. The Company then forwards the package to the Shipping Company (either DHL, Asendia or Singapore Post) for dispatch to the customer's respective countries (15-21 business days).
3. I will sometimes reuse packaging (of course, clean) to reduce carbon footprint, waste, and your shipping costs. I do hope the contents more than make up for the packaging.
4. We live in a cat-friendly home and sometimes, a hair (or two) may affix itself to the item or packaging. Don't fret! Our feline guardians have brought us good luck and love over the years and it's just their way of sending good luck and love to you, too!
My family (that includes our boss kitties) and I are truly thankful for your support for my humble business. Your appreciation really brings us so much positivity and inspiration to create even more.

I am having so much fun creating with my very own hands! I never imagined that I could make something out of raw materials and turn them into works of art, get to inject my own brand of humor into my creations, and even share them all with you!
