iT's GoNE!!!

Well we tore down our little funky garden on Monday. This is the last pick of my banana peppers which were very awesome this year.  I got 7 lil bags to freeze from this bunch.  

 

I LOVE using them in my Funky farm House dinners that are so easy to make. I also LOVE using them with onions and fried potatoes. This lil dinner here cost me around $3.00 to make for the whole thing. Gotta digg that.

 

OH MY GOSH I have been watching our sweet Little Madeline Grace. I had her 4 times last week. She loves to look up at this mirror I have with all of the vintage jewelry on it. She is sure getting to this Grannie's heart.

 

This is a new gig for my Etsy Shoppe I threw together. I used a piece of an old cutter quilt and a new little hand sewed bird I added to some moss and a chicken feather I added to finish it off and one of my lil grubby tags that says "Bird Dog". This is an old vintage dog planter.

 

 

This is my new FALL "JUNQUE GIRL". I LOVE LOVE how she turned out!! I SOLD this one before she was even finished. One of my Best Friends bought her from me!! We are going shopping and out to lunch tomorrow and I am using the money I made to have fun with!! and she loves her new Fran. original!!

 

Just been keeping busy and trying to get things done for the changing of the season. One thing about it though Fall is sure beautiful!!!

 

Keep on Keepin on!!

Peace Out!!

XOXO Love Fran.

 

 





 

These boots were made for walking!! And Fall blessings!!

 



Check out my new Baby Fat Cowgirl Boots! Sim surprised me and ordered them for me!! I have only been wanting them for about a year!! He spoils me and I love it!! I have a new thrifted outfit already to wear with them. This weekend we are going on a trip to a Woodland Weekend in The Thumb of Michigan with his cuzins. I am so excited and can't wait!! He'll be doing Lumberman things and I'll be looking like a Farmgirl!!! LOL

 

 

This is the view out my backdoor. I just love it! I have my own color tour and don't have to spend gas money to look at it!! The last pic is my garden beds that we are getting ready to put up for the winter. Got just a few tomatoes left and need to pick my onions.

 

 



On Saturday Sim took me to my favorite place to have breakfast. Tim Horton's!! I love their muffins and donuts so why not have both!! LOL

 

 

On Saturday our neighbor gave us these pumpkin pie pumpkins to bake for the pumpkin. Kaitlin and I had never done that before. Oh my goodness it is so easy and makes the house smell yummy!

 

I found this recipe on Pinterest for Weight Watchers muffins using only a yellow cake mix and 15 ozs of Pumpkin. So I decided to make a cake instead of muffins using the fresh pumpkin and cake mix. Oh my goodness so yummy! Low in calories til Kaitlin made cream cheese frosting and frosted the cake with it! YUMMO!!!

 





And I had alot of tomatoes still so I made chili with them!! That was delish too! This is half of it left. It usually doesn't last to long around here!! LOL

We had great weather and I felt like I got alot done. I love Fall so much. Since we are remodeling the hallway I'm not to sure how much decorating I will be doing. I also have a craft show on the 13th so I am working on things for that. Got another farmgirl doll almost ready for the shoppe. Smells good in the kitchen today from the grubby coffee spice mixture I use!! Today was a beautiful sunny Fall kinda day!!

XOXO Love, Fran.

 

 

A hidden beauty and meet "Lu Lu"!!

We have a town not to far from us called Frankenmuth. Some of you may know it. It is made to be like a German town. It is one of the cleanest towns and full of beauty and good chicken dinners. We went there last night with my Mother in Law for Sim's birthday. It was on the 15th but she hadn't gotten with us yet. So Sim picked Frankenmuth to go to. We had the family style chicken dinner. Oh my goodness alot of food but oh so good. This is a pic of the herb garden I love there. I have been to Frankenmuth quite a few times so far this summer. It's only 15 minutes from here.

I thought this clock was kinda cool.

They also have these carriage rides you can take. They are kinda expensive but very cool to ride in and hear the history of the town.

  

This pic is kinda blurry but the shrub is made in to a chicken!! Cuz they're famous for the chicken dinners!! It is really cool and there are so many beautiful flowers. This is just a few. I never get tired of going there. In the winter they have beautiful ice sculptures. This town always has something going on. They are also known for their beers. German of course and many more!! LOL There are alot of gift shops too. And always lot's of tourists!! From near and far!!

 Meet "LU LU"!!

"LU LU" is my newest addition to thebagglady76 etsy shoppe!! My first one sold already!! "LU LU" is so cute. I added jewels to her. I love her bracelet and upcycled lady bug on her nose!! You can check out my etsy shoppe on my sidebar. I have been in a cleaning and creating mood lately!! LOL I hope it lasts!! The heat was so bad I didn't feel like doing much! But now that I've got my mojo back I am rockin n rollin!! But I did hear we are in for more heat this week!! Bummer!! LOL  Talk to ya later!! XOXO Love, Fran.

 



Hey Girlfriends I'm Back~~~

I've been making THUMB PRINTS with Sim!!

So this little cutie cabin is where I have been!!



This is just one of the beautiful sunrises I woke up to!! We could only see the sunrise here. Canada is on the other side and they get to see the sunset!!

I rode my bike alot. I loved riding it all over town. Saving gas and being able to just hang out on the beach. I also did another 5K walk and I was so proud of myself!! I hadn't done one in 2 years and becuz of the heat I hadn't been walking here much at home either. BUT I did the walk only 39 seconds longer than my other one!! Oh yes I was proud!! Now I've got my mojo back for getting healthy and walking!! I needed this vaca so bad emotionally and I felt so close to God!! I got renewed and I feel ready to tackle the things I need to here. I am catching up on laundry and getting stuff done. We will be going on another one in a few weeks. It's my most favorite thing to do, we go to the Yard and Antique Sales around the Thumb of Michigan! I find my most favorite things!! It is a blast!! We stay at a Bed n Breakfast and I have become good friends with Christy the owner. She gives me a list of things to find for her cuz she is so busy that weekend her Inn is full!! She is an awesome cook!!

 I would like you to meet "Emmy Bleu" my newest farmgirl Raggedy Fran. doll. She is heading over to my Etsy Shoppe!! What cha think of her? I just love her hair!! She smells yummy too!

I missed everyone and I am trying to catch up!! I won a giveaway just before I left and I won one while I was gone. God is good and I feel so blessed!! When is God good? God is good all the time!! We kept saying this alot to each other while we were gone!! I also sold my cutie "Mud Pie" pig I showed you!! I am doing a happy dance all the way home!!! LOL

Love ya, XOXO Fran.
