Peek A Boo!!!

A Christmas For Emily

Emily is ready and waiting for Christmas, all dressed in her best Christmas dress, complete with a pretty red net crinoline underneath.



She's holding a lovely brown felt teddy bear, which is completely jointed with moveable arms and legs,button trim and adorned with a red satin bow.



Her hair is hand styled and composed of brown worsted yarn, and tied into pigtails with torn fabric bows which match her dress.



The dress is made of Tilda Fabrics, 100% cotton in a pretty red and white print, with lace trim around the edge of the skirt, hand gathered to create a ruched and scalloped hemline, which showcases the underskirt.



The neckline is graced with a hand crocheted lace collar and a pretty white pearlized and red button cameo adornment.



She has red and white striped ticking legs and black painted shoes, as well as white onasberg pantaloons beneath her slip.



Her pretty little face is hand blushed with beautiful hand painted blue eyes and black lashes.



Completely hand sewn of superior materials she would make a beautiful decoration and collectable. She is not intended as a play toy.

The asking price is £30.00. Please contact me on MarieAliceJoan at aol dot com if you are interested. Will ship first class, and insured to anywhere in the world upon receipt of payment.

Huggin' Friends

"Hold a true friend with both your hands."
~Nigerian Prover




I love my friends, they are precious to me, and I'm so very grateful for having them in my life. God has richly blessed me some pretty wonderful ones, I'm very thankful to say.




They're all huggin' friends. Which are the best kind. I just love me some huggin' friends, don't you?

She's also available with this really fun and colourful background. Something new I'm adding to my prints. A little change is good, don't you think?

A Little Romance . . .

I'm a bit of a romantic soul myself . . . I love nothing more than a love story and if I can do my bit to help it along . . . well, all's fair they say . . .




Odd that their little pink noses don't show up well on the scan, but I can assure you, they are blushingly pink. Sometimes all that is needed is a teensy weensy push to get two yearning hearts together . . .



Mistletoe, the perfect excuse for a nice smooch!!

Angel Bear

"The Christmas Angels"

If you see some different lights
Around your Christmas tree
It could be Christmas Angels
Hiding there to see.

The fun and joy of Christmas
As they watch the children play.
And as they watch you celebrate
This very special day.

But there's another reason that
The Christmas angels appear,
They're here to remind us why
It's a special time of year.

This is the day that Christ was born
Years ago in Bethlehem
He's the one who is our Savior
He is King of all the land.

So celebrate His birthday
With your presents, cheer and love
And let Him know you're glad He is
Our Savior up above.

Then the Christmas Angels
Will be happy they were here
And they can leave, but don't you fret
They'll be back again next year.
~Ron Lantz, 2000



I recently finished this lovely Christmas Angel Bear. Standing 9 inches tall, she is just perfect for sitting on top of your tree, or as a free standing angel. She's really sweet and has a hand sculpted head, and face created from Warm and Natural needled cotton Quilt batting. She is a one of a kind, and looking for a home to live in this Christmas. Available now for purchase in my Etsy Shop.

A Holly Jolly Christmas

Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
Well
I don't know if there'll be snow
But have a cup of cheer

This little character is sure full of cheer and wishing you the best holiday possible! Can't you just hear Burl Ives wonderful voice as you look at her cheery face!
