Marie Antoinette "shoe"

I am in love with the new Marie Antoinette magazine, and decided to make a "shoe" like the one I saw in the magazine. I am so happy with the way it turned out, I cannot wait to make more!




I made Ella another dress, but I forgot to take pics so I will post it later. Also, today is day 1 of no smoking. I have quit before, so I know today is the easiest, it's day 3 and 4 I'm worried about. :( Wish me luck! I was up to 2 packs a day (I know, horrible huh?) so this is going to be very difficult for me. But I do have a wonderful incentive. Hubby said if I can go 6 months smoke free, we will go to London again for a week. I would say that's a pretty good incentive if you ask me ;). I love London. We went a couple years ago and I have wanted to go back since. I keep joking that we may just not come back,lol!

Have a great day and keep your fingers crossed for me!

Marie Antoinette paper doll...

So I was shopping yesterday (and spent too much money) and found the Marie Antoinette Somerset magazine I have been all over town trying to find! I went to Barns & Nobles and Borders, but they had never heard of it. I found it by chance at Michaels! And it was the last copy! Yay for me!

I am in a paper doll swap on Swap-bot, so I decided to make a Marie Antoinette paper doll! I am so thrilled with the way she turned out! You cannot tell in the pic, but she has glitter all over her crepe paper dress. I am thinking I may have to make another one and keep her for myself! What do you think???




I made Mia a dress just like the one I ordered on Etsy. I'm happy with the way it turned out considering I didn't have a pattern. I will post pics of her in it soon...

This is what I ordered on Etsy:



And this is what I made:




Have a great day!
