Thanks! That does show some good examples. Just look at those babies!

There are tons and tons of websites out there with dotees. Everyone, just do it to suit yourself. It will be fun. :D

I am going to assign partners on 11 April. I want the dolls to be mailed out beginning 25 April and no later than 1 May. That give us almost 4 weeks. I really think these will go together super fast for everyone. Probably a lot faster than everyone thinks. I've made them before, and I'm pressed for time, and I really think they'll go together fast for us all!

Another hint: Most of the faces are just a little circle cut from felt. I've used beads, stitches, and paint for my eyes, etc.

I posted this pic on another thread, but incase someone missed it, I'll post it again. This is a Dotee PamH made for me (for being a good swap host). You can see by the marks on the ruler behind it, that it is just about 6 inches not including the hanger or tail.

I always want to spell it Dottee. :?:

Here is a picture of a Dotee I received in a Halloween swap. The maker said she made it like her son's Halloween costume. I took the pic with the gluestick to show the size bc I didn't have a ruler handy. It's just a small size gluestick.

Yea Dotee Dolls I love them... They are so addictive.. I got 4 hanging from my shelf going out this week on swaps.

And yes like Miranda said they are fast to make I can make one in a couple of hours from start to finish. Once you start put to them together they take on their on little personality.

I'm in! I have some ideas. Thought of one for the Derby and a cute one for flowers, now I think my brain may bust if I can't do either one, LOL! I'm thinking whatever you all decide is fine with me and I'll make the other for one of my neices:)

Ok as usual I'm behind the other posters. I've never done a Dotee doll, I can't wait! The one in the link with the baby is sooo cute. So sign me up!! This is good because I ran out of the fabric for the skin and was thinking I might make my next doll in either pink or pale blue if I didn't get to the store. I really hate not having a fabric store near me, no car either:(

OK, I made one but mine is pretty big. I didn't measure but probably closer or a tad over the 8 inches. I don't want to reveal any of my "secrets" but, I hope everyone has an open mind :shock: :shock:
