I'm not really sure what a Dotee Doll is?

doublesided 10/21/2008 #

Flickr them DebP - but be warned you'll fall in love and want to join!!

kacki 10/21/2008 #

Like DebP, I'm not sure what a Dotee Doll is. I went to Flickr and liked what I saw, but is there a pattern for these dolls or dimensions to go by?I'm at a loss here! Thanks!

ellie1200 10/22/2008 #

Ahhh.....I'd love to have one of these! But I'm completely uninterested in making dotee dolls, just having them. Anyone interested in making me a snowman/woman dotee in exchange for something else? I could crochet a winter hat or something....

yogamomof4 10/23/2008 #

this will be my first dotee and i am excited to do this swap.

AwtemNymf 10/24/2008 #

This is going to be a blast ! I'm envisioning frosting and snowmen! WOohoo!

kay66 10/25/2008 #

I can't wait to send my dotee. This is me first dotee and I signed up for two different dotees, both are done and waiting for a name and address. I want to have a page for my dolls but I haven't figured out just how to get set up for a page yet. kay66.

The dimensions of a Dotee Doll are generally a total of 6" long including the beaded tail, they should have a generally tubular pillow shape,longer than wide--3-4" long and 1.5-2" wide more or less--with some sort of creative "hair", a beaded tail, a face that is often simply embroidered on a felt circle that is sewed or glued onto the body, and a ribbon or string to hang them from attached to the back of their heads. Embellishments and adornments are up to you.

Just watched the tutorial recommended above ... they look so cute!

I gotta try this, I used to hand sew and make all sorts of things like this.

It should be fun ... never heard of these Dotee dolls before!

I have to start mine yet, This will be my third swap, I have sent out another dotee and an apron in the past week. This is fun. I need to retire and just do swaps. hehe.

PhaedraPhoenix 11/15/2008 #

I'm done too, just waiting for the name.. wanna see it? how do I upload a pic?

twobluecrows 11/16/2008 #

PhaedraPhoenix you have the picture in a Flickr or ImageBucket or some other online place and type an exclamation point ! the name of the picture within brackets [ ] then parenthesis(and the URL for the picture and close parenthesis so like this

! [picture's name] (http:// webaddressofpic dot com)

without any spaces between anything, and it should show up. this pic should be some dotees I made for another swap:

It worked!

MamaD 11/17/2008 #

Does anyone know where the host for this is??? She hasn't been online since the 4th of November & I was really hoping to get partners assigned soon! Hopefully everything is ok!!

twobluecrows 11/18/2008 #

dBowie, I've been wondering the same thing! I sent her PM on Saturday, but it hasn't been read yet. I hope she's ok and will log on soon.

Cyn

DebP 11/18/2008 #

Just wondering if we were still doing this?

rooee 11/18/2008 #

I am pulling out of this one, such a shame. :(

lisaeburg 11/18/2008 #

I have mine ready with postage on-anyone want to swap privately? I want to join other swaps and need this off my board.

alleycat 11/18/2008 #

Mine has been done for quite some time......I hope we get our partners soon.

twobluecrows 11/18/2008 #

I'll start another Snow-dotee swap if you all want to keep going and get things mailed out.

Any takers?

Cyn

twobluecrows 11/18/2008 #

I checked and several of her other swaps are also int he same boat, and at least one has started another swap to make up for it.

I'll start one and drop this one.

Cyn

Boxoftrix 11/19/2008 #

I sent her a message about this too but got no response what a shame. I take it this swap is not going to run...........

twobluecrows 11/19/2008 #

It doesn't look like it--but I hope nothing bad has happened to Char--

and... Char, if you come back ad see everyone gone, I'm sorry, but please com join the new swap and let us know what happened!

Cyn

twobluecrows 11/19/2008 #

The sign up date for the new swap is 11/22, so if you haven't joined us there yet, you still have a couple of days. Partners will be assigned promptly on the 23rd as soon as I'm allowed, so you can mail at will! The mail deadline is still Dec 15, so there's plenty of time if you're not ready yet.

Cyn

mcall 12/12/2008 #

Just sent mine off to Cassidy Crain...Here comes Mrs. Snowman :)

Helina 12/31/2008 #

Hi, I got my snow woman from kelly today, she is a apecially pretty one! Thank you for the swap!

Boxoftrix 01/17/2009 #

Ok Im hoping my little dotee snowperson has arrived as it was posted on the 15th Dec

Jillzwhimzy 01/24/2009 #

Mosaic flaked me - but I still had fun as it was a new experience.

ArtGirl1 01/25/2009 #

I can't figure out what happened here.

The swap deadline keeps changing ... I haven't received my dottee and my partner said she sent it over a month ago ... then I've never heard back from her. I have sent her MANY messages, including the hostess.

So when is the swap deadline for this???

I'm really frustrated on this one.
