I don't want to take credit for something I did not do. I did not do any of the embroidery. Everything else was done by hand but not the embroidery. I am a firm believer in repurposing. She is made from all repurposed items. Her body was once an embroidered cocktail dress. The beads were once jewlery pieces that I took apart and reused. The ribbon and ribbon roses were purchased at a yard sale. Her face is from a piece of a wool sweater that I found at a yard sale then washed in hot water to felt it. Even the thread is purchased second hand. I usually find cross stitch kits at Goodwill for .29 to .59. Most have never been opened. I find that repurposing allows me to enjoy crafting for about a tenth of the cost and I feel good that I am decreasing my 'carbon footprint'.
Begin each morning with a song in your heart. |

Victoria...I think that is what we all do. I repurpose everything I use on my Dotees too.
You still get a High Five...for "Coolness" Factor. LOL She is adorable!

Hi Girls...I just finished making this YOYO Heart Bulletin Board to hang all my Dotee's on,
what do you think?
I have this big bulletin board hanging above my crafting table in my office/crafting nook.
Both the Hearts and the Dotee's make me smile!!!
Live Loved,
Peggy

Here is "Madame Butterfly" that I made for Beth Jones. The backside picture won't post
for some reason but oh well, the front is the pretty side.
Glad that you got her Beth and yes, I do draw the face myself. In fact...I use the same face
on all my dotee's because I am not very artistic. I made that face on Angels that I use to sell
so, I hoped it would look cute on the Dotees too. Some times I do use buttons for the eyes...so
they look open.
Hey, how did you like my repurposed mailing envelope? LOL That was
so cute (Beth had made it and shipped my dotee in it) I just had to
reuse it. Very happy looking pkg to recieve in the mail (I know)lol
Hope you enjoy her...she was made just with "YOU" in mind.
blessings,
peggy

Just had to pop on and share this Dotee that I made for myself tonight. I am suppose to be
working on an Adoption Dotee but I have had this one on my mind and heart for a couple of weeks.
So had to do her first. This is my "Ganmama" Dotee. That is what my two grand-daughters call me.
So she represent me. I was so pleased with how she turned out....I had to share. I think I may need
Therapy girls. I am turning into a Dotee Junky. LOL
Hugs,
peggy

Ruby I got my dotee in the mail today. She is beautiful. I'll have to hide her from my daughter-in-law. She claims anything purple. Thank you, I love her.

I received my adorable Dotee from Carol. It is amazing how each Dotee takes on its own personality! She is beautiful, I smile each time I look at her. I took her to work to hang with the rest of the collection, people are starting to ask about them.
Mustang Sally, please let your mom know that I love her!!!
