Ninnie you are right, that is one I made for another swap. They can be any shape. I'm in a swap now were we make it bug shaped. So mine is going to be a butterfly.

Thanks Tirnhi! Got a little scared when some of the heads were detached and people were looking for hair! Just don't my girls to feel out of place! :lol: :lol: I've kinda gotten attached to them since they have been hanging out with me for a week, so giving them up for adoption is hard. :oops: Next swap I won't let my emotions get involved! DH says I mother everyone and everything! :D

No one is going to laugh at them, honest. Can't say the same about the little dolls we already have! lol
But, I've been telling mine that there is a new friend coming and they have to be nice to him/her when they get here. Told them that the new one will be shy for a bit and to make them feel at home. They have to remember what it was like being the "new kid on the block". I think they all understand, so all should be fine. If not, they know that a certain little girl cat will put them back in line. lol

your pattern. I didn't know that the head can be put on top of the neck.

Then, is what makes them a Dotee the lack of arms and legs, and the

addition of a hanger and a tail?????? Can't wait to see everybody's

dolls!!!!

A Dotee can be in any shape, I think. As far as I know, you are correct as to what makes them a Dotee. Now, the face is flat on the body, mine just curves in under the head to give it more of a "neck".

They are like the one on page 2. They can be any shape. I encourage everyone to make their own pattern and shape. I only posted those as a guide, or to help inspire ideas, or someone may use them if they wish. Don't worry! I'm sure yours are great! I think every Dotee I've made have all been different shapes. THis is the first time I drew out a pattern first. I usually just draw a pattern right onto my fabric and go.

So, dolls, and I use that term loosely, are ready for their new homes! Which is the best way to mail, large envelope, box etc:? :lol: Had to hide mine from Mortimer (dog) . He thinks all stuffed toys are his! Let's just say that my dotees are unique, I think. No beads and no bought en hair. Used my imagination to the best of my ability! no arms or legs but tails. Can't wait to see all the others who have done this before. Mine will probably be the ugly ducklings. :lol: Feel free to allow cats to play with them, (not).anyway , this has been a lot of fun and I would even do it again, so I guess I am now a craftier. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! :wink: :?
