Christmas Dotee Swap! YAY! ^__^

Dotee Dolls are usually about 3-7 inches tall, they have a loop at the top so they can be hung up (in this case- on the christmas tree!), and they usually have a beaded tail.

If you’ve not heard of Dotees before, here are some good resources to find out more information and for inspiration too!

I haven't done a swap in SO long! I remember when Pam first introduced these.. Such a cute different thing to do. I think I'm going to do this but I don't want to sign up for something and not have time for it, so I'm going to try and start on one and if I manage to do that then I should surely be able to finish on time! :)

i would but my sewing machine broke this last year and i havnt been able to do any fabric crafts :(

@Sally- Good plan, its always really stressfull when you've gotten over excited and signed up for too many swaps! :)
@Gnomes- Dotees are nearly always hand sewn items- and the great thing about them is that they dont have to be perfect AT ALL, they are totally beginner friendly! So I hope you reconsider :)

That would be my comment to Gnomes as well.If you can break a sewing machine you can hand sew a dottee.
I'll sign up for the swap as well.

@Gnomes - I don't even know how to use a sewing machine - so mine has been hand done.

Big storm Friday my dottee is complete.Just awaiting contact from Suzanne

Same here, I made mine over the weekend, just waiting for an address from EVEnl.

EVEnl has been in touch, i'll be posting mine out this week :)

I sent out Caitlin's doll on Monday. I got an message from and she said she will me posting mine on Weds.

Mine should be with EVEnl any day now :) She has messaged me and I hope to get hers soon.
I'm not sure whats happened to Maytag, but I may be angelling for Debs.

Your package is on its way! :)

A teaser for 36 green ducks :)

Yay! I can't wait!!

EVEnl should have received mine by now, so hopefully we'll hear from her soon :) If not I have a pic of what I sent.
I am angelling for Essex Debs and am happy to say that her one is done and will be in the post tomorrow.

Opps,I forgot to post a teaser.She left on Friday !

I came home from vacation/holiday to find Caitlin's doll sitting on my doorstep. (I don't know how long it had been there and I am so thankful no one stole it!) After a long trip home and it being 2am, it was a wonderful treat!

Once the coffee kicks in and I unpack, I will post pictures.

@36GD- any luck on those pictures?
Update from me- Essex Debs should have received mine by now, but i've not heard from her yet.
EVEnl has confirmed she has received but cant post pictures untill this weekend.
Who else is still waiting...Caitlin- have you had yours?

No sign of mine yet-will let you know as soon as it arrives ,nothing worse than not knowing how a package is received ;0)

Sorry about the delay. I took it to work to hang it up at my desk forgot to take a picture - until yesterday.

I have attached a picture.

I sent mine out over two weeks ago but I haven't heard from her on whether she had recieved it or not. I will PM her now.
