Let me introduce myself!

My name is Marie Antionette. I am new so you will have to bare with me. I do get alot of help from my daughter, whom some of you know as Alexia of Genteel Poverty. She is a wonderful daughter, by the way. I also have a grandson, Courtland. Yes, of course I spoil him, even if he is 14yrs old. He calls me his extreme grandma...LOL...

I worked as a bartender for 20 yrs,18 of those yrs in a small redneck bar called Clydes. I'll tell you about that later if you like. Very interesting ,working in a bar. My crafting is making doll vignettes. I don't call myself a true doll maker , because, I use the already made hand and head sets. do make the bodies, clothes , and almost everything else . you see my dolls are set in scenes so I pose them , as I see fit. How I get my ideas . Well, I may see a prop I can use, and work with it, or see a picture and do my version of it .I also make other things such as theme miniture Christmas trees. I did invent , what I call a Tree Angel. I will tell ya'll about that later also. What I would like to tell you now,is that I love staying at home .I love siting in my gazebo...

Or sitting out where I keep my koi fish.It is called a weir. We can control the flow the water. I can stare at them all day. There is something about fish that just relaxes you...

I also have a greenhouse that I dabble in...

Thats about all I will tell you for now. I do look forward to meeting you. I know I will enjoy looking at your art work. I've seen some of your blogs and let me say, I've seen so much talent . The most beautiful work.

Hugs,
Marie Antionette
