Description:

Easter was always one of my favorites as a kid. We always got a new outfit, new shoes, new hat and I'm old enough to remember getting new gloves. Wouldn't it be fun to do a dotee with a new spring outfit, fix her up like you remember being fixed up. Remember the sun shining on your face, while you were out looking for those Easter eggs. This swap is to make a special dotee for your partner and have your little traveler bring a special gift to your partner for their Easter basket (ie. atc, jelly beans,tea get an idea from their profile-something small though). I am willing to angel if need be. Just remember Dotee's 3 requirements-face, tail and hanger.

Hello, what's a "dotee?"

Best I can tell you is to google "dotee"...I was amazed. Basically it's a small 3" to 5" cloth doll with no arms and legs, but with a hanger and a "tail"...usually the tail is made out of beads or a tassel. And usually, there is some beading or embellishment on it with an embroidered face. Hope that helps

also dotee must have the cut out round or what ever you like added the face simple draw or anything you draw or cut out these are so much fun and to trade even better as we get all kinds of wonderful dolls - add embellishments to help your doll if you wish - the original creator was a lady named Dot (she is passed now I think) she sold little kits to make them with so her legacy is so wonderful we all thank her for these dolls for us to make and enjoy - these dotees are to always be in the rectangle with rounded top area without arms and legs so simple to make and love Maggie
