Description:

This is a swap where everyone gets hearts--whether they show up in your ratings or on the doll you receive, so strive for both. Dotee dolls are girly little gems (four, five, six inches or so) made from scrap fabric and beads and whatever other embellishments you wish to add. They must be complete with a hanging loop from the head and dangling "legs." The loop hangers coming out of the tops of their heads allow them to just "hang around" your crafting area and smile at you as you work. This international swap is strictly for Valentine dotees, so regardless of your color choices and embellishment techniques, include a visible heart somewhere on the doll (a charm, an embroidered heart, a heart pattern in the fabric) you will be making for one partner. Try to send by mid-January so that dotees will arrive in time for Valentine's Day--no matter where in the world they're going. This big-hearted swap is open to all newbies and anyone else who understands how important it is to craft items with affection, honor your commitments and not flake out on your swaps.

A tutorial on how to make dotee dolls can be googled. Just search Dotee Doll tutorial and you will get a link for U-tube to show you how it's done.

There is a USA and Canada dotee for valentines day also. Just in case sending overseas is too expensive, especially if you do a lot of swaps. Just a thought

I don't think that this is the place to be advertising your swap ladydy5, quite unfair if you ask me...

Are we making two dotees for one person?

FloraOFauna 01/ 3/2009 #

One Dotee for one partner! Thanks.

I know it is a little early, but I finished my Dotee doll today! I can't wait for partners! I hope to add a few things to it when I see my partners profile, but other than that, I'm ready to swap a valentine Dotee!!!

Question.... dangling 2 "legs" instead of a dangling 1 "tail"?

Evka 01/17/2009 #

Excuse a question of a Newbies...does my Dotee have to have some special note (label) with an info (who made it, date or name of this swap or so)? Browsing the rules of other swaps I found something like that...

This is my second swap and the first dotee here. I made some Christmas dotees and really enjoyed them. Looking forward to a cutie. I am a newbie.

Hi I am a newbie too! I just love sewing and paper craft so I think I may have stumbled on a new passion! Just got to make sure I can keep my swap safe from my 7 year old daughter!! x

FloraOFauna 01/19/2009 #

"Legs" is plural [you might call them tails]- more than one, please! You might sign your doty if you have room somewhere, but not required. HAVE FUN!

The material I ordered for this swap arrived this morning and it is GORGEOUS! Will finish my dotee tonight - when will we know our partner? It would be great to check their profile before finishing her.......

I have just finished my [first]dotee for my swap partner but now my 4yr old twin daughter wouldnt give it back and her twin brother wants a boy version so I shall have to make more.

FloraOFauna 01/23/2009 #

So many dotees - so little time!?! I hope you all had fun and thanks for participating in my swap.

mcall 01/28/2009 #

Yikes! I forgot to let you know I send her on the 25th to Jo...Enjoy!
