Kicked Out Some New Funky Gigs!!!

 

KIN FOLK

 

I made these cute lil  Kin Folk dolls for someone special and I really am very happy with how they turned out. They have lil chickens on the dress and a bird and nest on the Mama and a sweet bow on the lil kin. I sure love makin these. Each one always turns out so different in their own way.

 

SWEET STRAWBERRY DOLL

This lil beauty also turned out so awesome. Just like I imagined in my head. lol  I love the lil necklas I also made for her. She's quite grubby and smells yummy. She's available in my etsy shoppe.

CROW COFFEE COVER

I kicked out another CROW COFFEE COVER. I SOLD out of these at the show I was in actually the 2 shows I was in at Christmas time. I believe they are much better lookin in person.  I also realized that not only do these cover coffee mugs, and to go coffee cups, they fit a quart mason jar perfect. If you keep your coffee in a jar this would be so cool.

 

Been also kickin out kidney stones again so a lot of down time for sewing!! I tell ya I am so looking forward to  spring n summer time!! I like sewing but not like this!! lol Gonna be listing the coffee cover soon in my shoppe.

My weekend at the Alpaca Farm!!

 

Oh My Gosh!!! What an awesome weekend we had!! Sim was asked to be in an art and fiber show in Oxford, MI. He was set up right by one of the Alpaca pastures. They are so fun and sweet. I learned a lot about their fur and fibers.

 

 

They were such fun to take pics of!!

 

 

 This is the shop they have right on their property and it is open on the weekends with a lot of cool hand knitted items from the alpaca fur and things on consignment they others make.

This one of my favorite things hanging from their trees. Along with feeding the birds they had suet cake holders with the alpaca fur in it for the birds to make nests!! I learned about first and second cuts. I bought some second cuts to play around with and oh yeah baby I am gonna be putting some in my suet cake holders!!

This is a shot of Sim's display. He makes the coolest bird houses. He up cycles a lot into them. Some are even made by old rotary phones. It was a blast to watch the little kids lookin at them and trying to figure them out!! LOL

The winds were quite high on Sat. and I had brought my sewing with me. My cloth I was using blew right into the Alpaca pasture!! LOL

 

I crawled in to it and got it!! The Alpacas didn't even care. LOL

 

This is what I have been sewing and making with the cloth. I am making eggs! They are turning out even better than I thought they would. And baby are they a lot of fun to make!! I made them about the same size as regular farm eggs.

 

Also just wanted to let you know that "Wren in the Willow" sold with in 2 days of me adding her to the shoppe!! She gone to New Jersey!! Thanks so much Diane!! My surgery went good. I am glad it is over til the next time. I got some sewing to do!!

Keep on Keepin on!!

XOXO Love ya

Fran.



 

 

 



Sunday's Simple Pleasures!!! and here a CHICK there a CHICK everywhere a CHICK!!!

Today was such an awesome day!! I went and got my son Danny from the group home and took him out to Mickey D's, his favorite dining place and then we went to our special park and walked around!! We found this birds nest and I made a little nature bouquet out of dried flowers from there. It is still pretty brown and dead from the winter but I still love the beauty of it. A great day spent with Danny too!!

And here are some pics of my little chicks I am addicted to making!! I wanted to show you how sweet they are and how cute they are just about anywhere!! LOL

They are just about 2 inches big and I am hand sewing them. Which is fantastic for me!! Cuz I love it so much!! They are made from an old blanket!! I am trying to think of a way to make them into a nest and I think I've come up with alittle something and would like to sell some in my Etsy if I can. I did coffee dye one without any spices so that it wouldn't look dirty. But it's not dry yet so I don't know yet if I like it. When Brooke and I got back from taking Danny out we went for a walk and I found some more goodies down at the end of my street.

As you can see I found another birds nest and I have these cool little peat moss containers that I am trying to make up in to nests and found gatherings. To know me is to know I always have something I've found somewhere!! Usually rusty things or something from nature!! LOL So let me know what ya think of my little chicks!! I love making them and looking forward to making a gathering out them!! Will probably have it done tomorrow and will post pics!!

XOXO Love, Fran.
