My goodness! It has been a Dotee Doll free for all this weekend in the studio! My daughters love the Dotee Dolls that I make and receive. My oldest daughter has been begging me to be able to make and swap her own Dotee but since Swap-bot users must be 18 or older, I didn't see a way. Then I saw a penpals for kids swap and thought, hey, I could start a Dotee Doll swap for kids! Then my daughters could make a dotee doll and swap it with other kids! Whoo hoo! So, like a nut, I started a swap without having a clue what I was doing! Oh well, hopefully the other friendly swap-botters will guide me.. Anyway, the girls are super excited! They are practicing by making a doll for themselves first. Here is what they have come up with so far... mind you, these are works in progress and yes, I did help them a little bit with the sewing but they designed them. The one on the left is my 7 year old's doll and the one on the right is my 9 year old's doll. The green one is inspired by a Japanese beetle and when finished will look at bit like a green ladybug. ;)
After the girls were off to bed for the night, I started on and finished the "Ugly Fabric Dotee Doll" for a swap I signed up for. I hate that fabric! BUT, I think she came out cute! Sorry for the spoiler if your my partner and read this.
(UPDATE! FEEDBACK RECEIVED>>wow i love this dotee she is one of the best i have had and i have about 25. there is nothing ugly about her. you should see the fabric i used, it's covered in big chilli peppers lol. thank you so much it just goes to show how different everyone's tastes really are =) )
I decided to keep my Mardi Gras Dotee from the previous post. I simply can't let her go. So, I dropped out of the swap BEFORE PARTNERS WERE ASSIGNED.
Today I started working on the "Pink and Purple Dotee Doll" for another swap. She is still a work in progress, I need to stitch on her face, but you get the idea....
I'll finish her up first thing tomorrow and then get started on the surprizes I have in store for my wonderful Hubby for V day. Whew! Busy, busy!

I did my first Dotee Doll swap and loved it! Now I'm hooked and have joined more Dotee swaps. You do the cutest designs, in fact your Valentine Dotee is hanging in my studio right now! I loved your Mardi Gras one and don't blame you at all for keping it! Looking forward to see what other fun ones you do.
