Meet Monique



Meet Monique ~ the wonderful little bundle of joy that came to live with me today. Monique was created by the hands of Dot, creator of the wonderful Dotee Dolls. I was fortunate to do a one-on-one swap with Dot and my little Monique from her arrived today -- on the eve of my birthday -- now how special can that be? Well, very special!! From the moment I took her from the package and held her in my hands, I knew at once the love that was put into her -- isn't it something how you just feel special things by just holding a doll? I really love this little doll and will try to get a better photo of her -- right now, I am just going to give her a gentle squeeze. Thank you, Dot -- Monique is special -- as are you. And thank you for sharing your tutorial for your sweet Dotee Doll.
Now that she has arrived safely in Australia, I can post the photo of the Dotee Doll I made in a one-on-one swap with her (below). Inside her body is a slip of paper with my special prayers/wishes/blessings for Dot. What w fun swap this was -- thank you, Dot. I adore Monique.

Just as an aside, I was recently in a "Dotee Doll" swap on F.A.T. (Fiber Art Traders) and there were approximately 34 participants and 109 Dotee Dolls were traded. What a fun exchange that was -- I'll post photos of the dolls I receive when they arrive here in Illinois.

Once again, thank you Dot. Monique will always hold a special place in my heart.
