Description:

You will make one small stuffed doll for your partner - Halloween in style, and creepy but cute by design. I'm thinking no more than 12" tall but if your doll ends up a little bit bigger, that's fine. This is maker's choice and an great opportunity to use up some of your Halloween fabric scraps!

**If you have some real fears - clowns, spiders, zombies, etc., please list below. But I want this to be a fun swap for the makers with few restrictions.

Some doll ideas:

I do check profiles so do not sign up for this swap if you cannot complete it on time. I'm sure everyone would love to use their dolls for decoration. And sorry, USA only, due to postage costs.

And if someone can do the clicky link hoodoo on the above examples, I will like you forever. And yes, I have the instructions saved in my Messages file, but that doesn't mean my techno-challenged brain can understand them!

Well I tried to hyperlink these, but it didn't work... :-( sorry...

PS. Can I crochet a doll or does it have to be sewn?

smmarrty 09/10/2012 #

You can crochet, knit or sew - it's up to you.

smmarrty 09/10/2012 #

And thanks for the links.

I'm watching for now, but have been looking forward to doing a rag doll swap on here. I made the cutest witch one a few years ago.

What is the minimum size for this doll?

LiliasCraven 09/10/2012 #

Awesome! Now I need to figure out what to make... so many options.

smmarrty 09/11/2012 #

I would say 6 - 12 inches, so it's easy to pack and mail. If you want to go bigger - contact your partner and discuss with her.

smmarrty 09/18/2012 #

Okay, all you watchers - join us. I know you looooove Halloween.

My daughter has already claimed whatever I receive. Her name is Lillia and she's four

LiliasCraven 09/24/2012 #

Does she want the cute little devil I am making (if I am your partner and you aren't okay with it I can make something else)? It might end up larger than the requirements (will PM you if it is... okay will PM partner either way).
