BRENDA
Thank youfor the precious precious Dotee.
She has red hair.. a fiery lass ! And sports a genuine Americana red, white and blue dress. A sweet little demure smile on her face. And a lovely Flag Day sentiment with a scotty dog came too.
I am trying to see if I can scan her to post her picture. I think she is now hanging out with my new Dottee swap doll. If I can get the scan to work, you all will be able to "ooh and ahhh" over my new Star Spangled Dotte girl !!
Thanks again Brenda.. She is precious..

Thanks Marylyn,
I will have to look at that more closely...it is fun to see all the different faces and types of Dotee dolls anyway.

Thank you, Darlene...so I guess I have to stop using the felt because I bought fabric markers! If you look up 'Dotee Dolls' on uTube there are all kinds of different faces for them and videos on how to make them...that's where I learned to make them....thank you, again, helping me!
Love,

I tried felt and it smeared I use the white lining material and it is easier to draw on. I can't remember the correct name for it it give the material body but I can draw on it or embroider on it,I am happier with that but would like to do new things for the faces also.
I love it no matter what though.

I use fine felt tipped permanent markers and don't have trouble with them. Some I have received have been
Embroideried.

Okay, gfs...I need help....I started a new Dotee Doll for July; however, I cannot get her little face right...the one I sent Maddie was not what I wanted either...so my questions are what are you using to paint the faces and where can I purchase it and do I have to give up using felt for the face? I am bumfuzzled and I need your help!
Thank you so much,

I received my dotee doll a little while back. But things were crazy here so I didn't get on to thank annielaure. I will try to get pictures up soon. I am almost finished with my dotee doll, I know wait until the last minute. I will be sending her on her way Friday.

Oh now I remember seeing it.. It is a beautiful tree, I think I commented on it when I saw it the first time. It is a wonderful tree and just gives me chills to see it....
Have a wonderful day Maddie.

Hi Marylyn :) I will take a picture of my Air Force tree with Libby on it & post it or try an email it to you ;) But if you want to see it from Christmas, I posted a picture on the 2nd Annual Patriotic swap thread, with a picture of my son, who is in the AF.

You are so welcome...I am glad to have found this thread to have the opportunity to learn something new! I am glad she has earned a place of honor in your home. Are you or your husband in the Air Force? I can't quite imagine what an Air Force tree look like. Is there emblems and medals on it? I am so curious....
I am very happy with Sunny...he is so happy looking! He is hanging on my mantel until I get him a buddy then they will go in my craft/ sewing room!
Love,
Auntie M

Thanks for the encouragement, Maddie and Peggy and yes, I felt as though I had given birth!!! I agonized about how to make her and everything I put on her, every bead I sewed, every stitch, and everything I did ..... Then when she was finished I wanted to keep her...but, alas, she just kept saying " thank you, Auntie M, but I have to go home now." hahahahaha....what a wonderful project this is, and I can feel how addicting it might become!!!
Sunny is so adorable....gotta love him!
Love,
Auntie M

Marilyn and Madeline...Miss Libby is very C.U.T.E. Love the Patriotic Theme.
Very nice job for your very first Dotee. Don't you feel like you birthed her?
I know I felt such pride and when I made my first one. They are addictive...now you
won't be able to stop, I gaurantee it! LOL

I just receive Josephine Dotee from Lesley today, she is adorable and I will get the photos up soon, but she loves playing the piano and loves to wear blue. She has wild hair like Beethovin whom she loves the most as a composer goes to the symphony and dresses up in her beads, like I said just adorable.
Thanks Lesley
