                                                  XXOO Marie Antionette

Well, its over...2010. I'm glad. Thats terrible to say. But some of us has not    had a  steller year. GRANTED!!! I did have some highlights.
                                  YOU !!!
All of you!!! You kept me going. Gave me hope for my ailing brother...which by the way, he is holding his own, and they were able to find a bone marrow donor. I know its not over, but with all the prayers you've sent out...I'm keeping the faith.
                            THANK YOU ALL !!!

A new doll I've already made and sold. I have not shown any of you yet .
   Its  a bride theater doll.



                                                          
                                                       

                                                         
                                                            

                                          
    I'm a winner of a give away that Celestina Marie of      http://larearose.blogspot.com/ had a few week ago.
  You would not believe the beautiful things I've won. A most gorgeous box that Celeste painted. And you all know how talented she is with a brush. When I opened the box...there was more beautiful things inside, then...and then to top it off was the most gorgeous ornament. Everything painted in Celestina Marie's unique style. I was doing the happy dance. Thank you Celeste I love every thing.


                                                          

                                                      
    Now to show off just a few things I recieved from some of my friends.  Pat of http://summersdarling.blogspot.com/  what a Sweetheart she is. I was outside when a big UPS truck drove up. I was not expecting anything. It was a big box from Pat. Now Pat is also a very talented lady, and makes everything.I bought a pillow and tags from her and her work is awesome. Anyway I opened the box and was stunned speechless...LOL rare for me. It was the most drop dead gorgeous BIG paper doll. If you could just see it in person. You would buy one from her right away. Just look at it!!! Thank you Pat...I will get you back by the way...LOL.
                                                        
                                                       
  
    Everything I've got was awesome...just look at what Sherry http://ediemariesattic.blogspot.com/ my adopted sister sent me. It was a beautiful letter M with rhinstones on it. I just happened to buy a picture frame for only $2.50. I don't know why I bought it. It was such a bargain. Anyway something clicked in my head and I took out the front glass and put blue velvet in the backround and look at my M now!!! Gorgeous Right?
                                                           
                                                           
                                                      
     I wanted to make sure I showed you what my daughter Alexia gave me. Something i've wanted forever. A beautiful waste basket from Victorian Papers. She bought it to go into my new redone studio. I love you daughter. XXOO
                                                        
    Now I started making these ornaments at the very last days of christmas. I did them really to past the time, then discovered I really liked making them...so now I've added ornaments to my list of things to make.
                                                     
                                                                                                      

                                                          


       One of the sweetest ladies in blogland, She teaches French, plays the harp, writes beautiful stories, and does illustrations, Anita , http://wwwcastlescrownscottages.blogspot.com/  sent me a fab tag and thank you card . They are so pretty. I have them hanging with other wonderful tags and such in my new redone studio. Thank you hon . She also wrote the most wonderful things to me inside the card on the left.                               
                                                 
     I'm going to start a new theather doll, and I want you all to know it will be really kool. I found a Marie Antoinette Type figurine in an antique store.Its really not that old, cause I've seen the same figurine on Ebay. Mine was cheaper.Anyway thats all I'm going to tell you about it. I will say it will be in the colors...red, gold, creams, greens.

  2. Hi Dear Marie,
    Wishing you a very Happy New Year with better days ahead. I am so happy your brother is holding his own and prayers will continue.
    Your bridal doll is over the top gorgeous and I just love it. I can see why it already sold.
    All your gifts are wonderful. Love the M, the tags, the waste basket, the gorgeous paper doll and your ornaments are simply wonderful. Everything you touch turns to gold.
    Love your sweet pic of you in the post below. You have a gorgeous smile!!

    I pray that your 2011 is better and your health on the mend too. I have been having a hard time with pain in my painting arm from over use and an old collar bone fracture. I had to stay off the computer and out of the studio. Trying to get back in the swing of things now. Not sure what tea pot you are referring too. I have a little ornament in wood and also a lamp. They do not have teacups to match this time.

    Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and love and hugs to you from Texas.
    XOXO Celestina Marie

  10. Sorry I am so late with my visit over here. Our kids still have their Christmas break, school is starting again tomorrow. When they don't have school I always do a lot of things with them, so no time to blog, sorry about that. You were spoiled rotten little lady, but you deserve it! Hope that all is better in 2011, even the blogfriends ;-)!
    Your new doll is stunning! Love and hugs from the Netherlands!

  20. Thanks for visiting and commenting.
    I am finding that there are many ways for dying yarn.
    Of course, the regular dye is no doubt the best way to go in the long run.
    But 'til then - let's play.

    Hugs,
