Ruby the Woolly Dotee

Craft, Dotee, giveaway, swapbot

Ruby now lives in America. She was the first Dotee I made successfully. The previous two may make an appearance later, but they’re still shy. Ruby came into being for a red-themed Dotee swap on swap-bot, and as the weather was getting all shivery, I thought perhaps she’d have a nice warm cuddly coat…

And a hat and scarf in a lovely fluffy green to remind her of home. I actually crocheted the hat freehand! Its made of the softest yarn I’ve ever found, and Ruby herself is made from a red flannel (which I bought especially once I realised what her story was, and that she should really have a nice wooly coat of her own).

Here she is all snuggled up cutely to her hat. She does love it so!

I took a picture as I waved her goodbye. She was off to find a nice warm bubble envelope to curl up in while she travelled to her new home! I was sad to see her go, but pleased she would be meeting lovely new people and bringing smiles around the world. I still smile when I think of her.

Here is the portrait I sent with her:

Sadly, I’m having trouble finding her story… I’ll add that when I discover where it got scanned to! Suffice to say, Ruby wasn’t always woolly… but she did get cold, and she was bright enough to realise that sheep had woolly coats that kept them warm…

Thank you everyone for commenting, I’ve had a lovely time lookingat all your blogs and its been really reassuring to see so many people interested in my little Dotee doll.

Random Number generator says: Number 29

AlwaysInspired

Congratulations!!!

Please get in touch with me by Monday as you haven’t left any contact details! If I don’t hear from you I will draw again on Monday.

Thanks again to everyone for participating!

(Also posted in a new post)


Hello wonderful people! Welcome to my studio 😀

One World, One Heart is a wonderful invention by Lisa the Whimsical Bohemian (Thanks Lisa!) Click on the logo for information, but basically its a way of networking, and a big pile of giveaways!!!

The rules:

Leave a comment to this post with your blog and/or email address in it.

On Thursday the 12th I’ll put all the names in a hat and pick one.

The person who owns the name I draw wins:

Imbolc!

Photobucket

Snow and roses.

Inspired by Dot‘s Dotee Art Dolls and my day on the 2nd of February, the calender Imbolc, the marker for the beginning of Spring. Imbolc is a small sized Dotee doll hand crafted by me with love. She’ll arrive carefully wrapped with her own portrait, bringing dreams of the summer and memories of the best bits of the winter…

I look forward to meeting you all!

PS: Turned off comment moderation! Yay! Multiple links make comments still come up as spam though, so I’ll keep checking.

PPS: Thank you for the comments on the photo that is the banner, but I can’t actually claim credit for it! Its a stock photo that comes with the layout of the blog. I do intend to change it, its just picking a perfect alternative from my many photos. I agree though, its a beautiful picture!

*********************

UPDATE: I’m overwhelmed by how many people would like to give little Imbolc a home! Thank you everyone! Just one thing though… please make sure you leave some way for me to contact you!!! Not everyone has and I’d be sad to pick your name and have to redraw because I can’t tell you.

For the drawing, I will close comments when I get up on Thursday the 12th, and as I live in the UK, this might be a bit earlier than some people (although as I’m also a student, I’m not sure that’ll be the case!)

I will randomly generate a number, using an online integer generator, and the person whose name goes with the number will be the lucky winner!

I’ll post on this post who won, and contact them if I can. If the person hasn’t left contact details I’ll wait until Monday for them to let me know what their email is. If they have, I’ll wait until Monday for them to send me posting details.

If I don’t hear back from the winner by Monday, I’ll draw again and repat said process.

Hopefully we’ll manage this together first time! 😀
