New Marie Antoinette Doll and More

Hi ya'll,
   Yes!!! I'm still here.I'm sorry I cannot post as much as I want to, but things happen. But I want you to know you are always in my thoughts and prayers.

  Here is my newest Marie Doll. It is a Marie... and a smaller Marie inside the curtained gown.The smaller Marie is sitting at a spinet ...looking over some sheet music. I bought the spinet on Ebay. It was so pretty I could not resist it. Its an aqua type color with a touch of pink roses on the top. When the chandelier is on...its so pretty. I wish the pictures were better. There will be more pics on my Etsy.



Now I want to share with you a special gift I recieved from La Donna Welter of LaDonna Welter Paper Cuttinghttp://ladonnawelter.blogspot.com/


  She was kind enough to send me a magazine called Paper Cuts. As you all know LaDonna does the most amazing creations with paper. AWESOME work. She even wrote a very sweet thing and signed it. You all really should get this copy. Its a wonderful book with such amaging designs in it.Yes, of course LaDonna is it.

Thank you so much LaDonna, My magazine is sitting right on top of my coffee table.

 Let me now tell everyone about another book  that think will interest some of you young Mothers and Grandmothers.
    Remember in my last post I had my Rottweiler Rip pose in mardi Gras beads? Ha is such a sweethear and will let me do anything to him. I have had 6 Rotts in the past and everyone was just like him. I know alot of people are afraid of this type dog, BUT as in all breeds, its how you raise them. Lots of love goes along way. The books I want to tell you about ,are about a Rottweiller named Carl. They are written and illustrated by Alexandra Day. These are picture books for a very young child. They are beautiful. Here is a discription of them that I found on Goggle:

    Big and bullheaded, but gentle and intelligent—and with a mischievous streak a mile wide—Alexandra Day's Rottweiler Carl is the perfect companion for kid-sized adventure. It seems whenever Mother leaves them alone, baby Madeleine climbs on Carl's back and they scamper off together, having fun and getting into things they never could have done with Mom around. Yet they always manage to get tidied up and back in place before she comes back. This treasury collects six of Day's nearly wordless Carl books for prereaders, illustrated with realistic watercolors that are really portraits of Day's own Rottweilers and her granddaughter. At the end, Day offers color photographs of her dogs and the origins of the Carl stories.

I'm telling you ,that you really should look into these books. You can buy them used on Ebay or Amazon.
Do you remember in my last post I told you that I made little girl mdresses that go all over the world. Mainly to Africa and to Indian Reservations. Well  I also make hats for cancer patients. I belong to a group of ladies call the Busy Bees, We do community work, and this is one of the things we do.This is just one type hat we make.
With this... I say Goodbye, till next time we meet.
May god Bless,
XXOO Marie Antionette

    I'm so glad that you're feeling better and are making new treasures!

    I used to have an art and handcraft gift shop, and sold many many copies of Good Dog, Carl! It's charming.

    You look beautiful in your pink chapeau!

  5. Oh Toni, good to hear from you again and even better to see you in this post! You look darling in that pink hat! Love it! And your new doll is even better than the ones you made before, which is quite an achievement. Btw have you heard anything of a certain magazine yet? Today I got a mail from someone who had to wait over 20 months before being published, so there is always hope! Thinking of you and hoping all is fine with you and your family!

  16. Hi Marie,
    So wonderful to catch up with you today. Your Marie doll is simply gorgeous. I love the little marie inside the skirt. What a creative idea. You talents run far and wide. The book gift from your friend is wonderful and the dog books look darling too. You are so right about how we raise our pets. Like children they learn a lot just by watching our behavior and how we talk to them. Beazy would not dream of being mean to anyone. I can also dress her up putting anything on her and she doesn't rebel at all. LOL

    Love the hats for the cancer patients. Once again you find a way to give to someone in need with your love and talent. You are such a blessing to all.
    Not to mention, you look just gorgeous in the pic. Love your big smile.
    Hope you are feeling good these days and looking towards Spring.

    Thank you for stopping by and your kind comments. Have a great weekend ahead my dear friend.
    love ya, Celestina Marie

  17. Hi Sweetie-pie!!

    O you look adorable in that hat!! So chic! You are one kind gal and I'm so honored to call you "sis"!
    I LOVe those Carl books. One of the girls I worked with yrs ago had a rot and would bring her books in for us to look at. She had all of them and they were delightful. I loved to see baby riding on Carl through their adventures.
    You know I love your doll, I love all of them!! And I'm so glad to hear you sold the pink one, how exciting.
    The boxes are flyin' around here & stuff is crawling out of the woodwork! Where did all this stuff come from?? I'm off tomorrow, Friday, and I'll call you!

    Love you baby! The aged one

    Cheryl cld me, it was so nice to talk to her!!

  18. Hello Lovvvvleeey!
    Marie A. What a lovely hat that you have created for cancer patients....not to mention your beautiful Marie Antoinette doll and her "Mini" cool!
    Oh YES I know Good Dog Carl!
    And agree, that many breeds of dogs get a bad rap. For instance, Pitbulls. Do you remember Buster Brown? Well he was the sweet icon of Mary Jane shoes!!!

    Nuff about that. Thinking of you and sending you love. How are you feeling MA?
