Here's the Sn-irt on me!!!

 

In case you wanna know Snirt is snow mixed with dirt!! LOL

It was about a week n half ago that I saw my first Robin!! OMG!! I had to get my camera!!! I get so excited when I see one!! Something I always shared with my Mom!! We would call each other as soon as we saw one!! I miss that.

 

 

This is a pic of my two handsome step sons. This is at Ryan's going away party a few weeks ago. He is on the right. Nick is on the left. Ryan left us on March 1st for Africa for one year. He is a Navel Reservist and this is his first assignment away from home. We are so proud of him!! His wife Christine is a rock star and Caylee knows daddy will be home by her 5th birthday!! Sim was in the Navy for 12 years so his family knows how to rally together at a time like this. Please keep Ryan and all of our servicemen in your prayers!!!

 

 

 Ok I have had this ideal rolling around in my head for awhile!! So I put it together. A pig head on a old rusty hammer!! "HAMM -er- Head" What do you think? I may try a more cutesier head next time. Although I think everything I make no matter what I try to do ends up coming out in my own style somehow!! LOL that being what people call Fran. Style!!! LOL

 

 

Ok here is another new gig!! This is my try on a poodle!! I grew up with a poodle dog. Pepie was a white show dog with papers!! We didn't show him but could have!! My favorite memory was when my Mom would color die Pepie for the holidays!! Green for St. Patrick's Day and Pink for Easter and Red for Christmas!! OMG!! he was the coolest!! I named this one "RAGGZ" cuz she went from rich to Raggz cuz I kinda grubbied her up a bit!! and that pom pom on her tail is from my slipper sock that came off!! I up cycled it and it is kinda a bit grubby. It was hard to shoot "RAGGZ" so I did different angles!! LOL Do you think somebody has had a lot of winter? But I look at it this way I am kicking out the gigs and sewing!! LOL

 

I want to show my livingroom soon but it has been so darn cold I haven't been hanging out in there. Stayin in our room with the heater on!! LOL

Tell me what cha think of my new gigs!! I am curious if I should make some more of the pigs or not? Just be honest with me I can take it!!

 

Keep on Keepin on!!

Peace out!!

XOXO Love Fran.



Sharing some new eye candy with you!!!

I changed out the coats on my mannequin's. These were my Mom's. I remember her wearing them when I was growing up. When I was cleaning out her closet I found them. I love them in my living room and the colors and style are perfect! I added my collection of fur jewelry and gold poodle pins to the gold coat. My Mom was a fancy lady as she had worked from the age of 17. When I was growing up we also had a poodle named Pepi.

I have been busy with my Mom's estate but God is awesome and I have her trailer sold to my friends son and his family. My Mom prayed for Josh when he was in the Navy and over in Iraq. So he is already covered in prayer and my Mom would be so happy!! Josh and his wife Jen are so excited that they are getting the trailer! And that makes me happy too! They are so cute and have three adorable children!!

I see the lawyer tomorrow and then when this all done I can get back to creating!! I think it is gonna be very healing for me!! I am working on a "Bluebird" Raggedy Fran doll right now. I will be naming her "Rosie" after my Mom. Her name was Rose Marie. One of my last calls to her was to tell her I had a bluebird on my porch!! She told me it meant happiness!! Just thought I'd share with you and let ya know what I've been up to!!

XO Fran.
