Been makin a new friend and hangin out at the Fair and the Pumpkin Patch!!

I just fell in Love with this little cutie!! I hung out at the Genesee County Fair last week. I only missed two days!! I had a blast!! This billy goat was just so cute. I went everytime I was there and visited her. And guess what I almost have a billy goat all sewed up in honor of her!! Laughing at myself!! Always designing and creating!!

Friday night was date night with Sim and the Billy Currington concert!! OMG I Love Billy Currington and this pic of me was him singing my favorite song!! "Must be Doing Something Right"!! Loved it!! We also went to the rodeo and Demolition Derby. I was really good and only had Fair Food one day!! Why does all the food have to be so bad for you and smell so good!! LOL I am on a diet and I have been good for the last two weeks I have lost three pounds!! LOL It is hard for me as I tend to hold water cuz of my bladder disease I have. But the docter is proud of me!! She told me to keep it up!! I am trying!!

 

 I had a special order for this pigg. I went out to lunch with one of my BFF's and she loves blue so I took "Rosie" with me to see if Carol liked her. And she did!! I told Rhonda who bought her that "Rosie" was very outgoing and to make sure she got to go away sometimes!! Rhonda works nights at the hospital so she took "Rosie" to work with her!!! LOL I told ya she is an out going pigg!! 

 

Besides working on my Billy Goat I have been making pumpkins!! Which I LOVE making. I have a friend in Maine who wanted some of my pumpkins to sit around. I am diggin the Fall Plaid ones!! I might have to make me some if she buys those!! Keepin busy. I talk to Kaitlin almost everyday. She loves her job and started her college classes today. I am going to see her for a week in September with my SIL and MIL. I am counting down. I am also trying to get everything caught up this week I am having surgery for my bladder on this Friday!! It has been so hot here for the last few days. EWW!! We are moving Brooke upstairs to Kaitlin's room Lot's of changes but all good!!

XOXO Love ya Fran.

 

Well shame on me!!

 

Hey Dudettes!! Whatz up?

 

 

Well this is me throwing a hatchet up in the air at a Woodbee Day I went to in Port Hope, Michigan. Can ya dig it I am actually throwing that baby up in the air!! Go me and I am also rockin out my new Cowgirl boots!! This was so much fun. They call it a Woodbee like a Sewingbee only it takes place in the woods and you do all these lumberjack things to win woodals!! You know like metals!! They are small pieces of wood cut and strung with twine to wear around your neck!! So cool! Didn't win any but Sim won one and this little boy didn't get one cuz they were short one so Sim gave his up for him. He's so sweet like that!! I also did the Jack n Jill saw cutting with Sim. Didn't place there but we kept the piece of wood we cut. They had all kinds of homemade soups and breads and desserts too. A very cool day and I am looking forward to going again next year.

 

I had my first Craft Show of the season.

 

 

This is one of the reasons I've been MIA. I was getting ready for the craft show and sewing like crazy!! The craft show was a bust becuz the Festival got rained out. Alot of festivals here in Michigan got rained out and it was not good for us crafters! Everyone was cold and wet and left!! Bummer!! But at least I am ready for the next one and have stuff for my Etsy Shoppe! Christmas is coming!! I am so excited to share with you my newest creation!!

 

I LOVE LOVE how these turned out!! I upcycled an old 80's sweatshirt for these "maters"!! Oh my goodness they turned out better than I pictured them in my head!! LOL I have three baskets full. I also put green twine wrapped around the berry basket. Kinda hard to see in the pic but it is cute too. These will be listed in my Etsy shoppe later tonight!!

So I've been missing blogging but been tyring to keep up on everything! Boy is it hard when you also are trying to get ready for things like craft shows. So glad it's over now though. Now I will be working on Christmas goodies. Gotta make more grubby piggs I only have one left!! Yay! And I also have another Fall Farm Girl almost done and ready. She's a cutie!! Wait til you see her grubby prim hair!! LOL

So what have you all been up to? I've missed ya!!

XOXO Love ya, Fran. 

 

Happy Fall Ya All!!

 SOLD THANK YOU!!

Here is some of what I have been up to!! I've been making pumpkins!! These are all upcycled from vintage bedspreads and the orange one from an old vintage al- paca sweater. I love how they are all different in their own way. I also love making them!! I have most of these listed in my Etsy shoppe. Let me know if you want any. I will be making more. I have a few craft shows coming up too. I am getting excited about that!!

 

 

 

I made another "DOG RAG DOLL". Her name is "Milly Mutt". She is listed in my etsy shoppe. She is so cool and hip and was a blast to make. "Betty Bow Wow" went to a good home in Michigan!! Milly is lookin for a good home too!!

 



 





On Labor Day we had a family picnic. Caylee our grandaughter loved the new swing Papa Sim made for her from a tractor seat!! 

 

 

We also have a new grand dog! Kade is not a puppy but they just got him. He is so sweet and loves to play fetch with the ball, over and over again!! LOL

 

You know how it is when you have family over and you always think you don't have enough food? Well I was worried and Sim and Kaitlin kept telling me not to worry! I did have enough! LOL I kept thinking of how Jesus fed 5000 with five loaves of bread. I made tuna salad. We had brats and Koegel hot dogs, chips n dip, pop, beans(my speciality from a can) and cut up veges from our garden!! Thank God for the garden!! And we made two pies the one from pinterest we have been making all summer. One was pink lemonade and the other was orange. I still vote for the pink lemonade! Sim was gonna make me write him a paper on how I did have enough! LOL

 

Next week I will be canning tomatoes like crazy!! I am excited!! We actually grew them! Yay! I'll be making more pumpkins and little pigs. So til next time keep on keepin on!! Peace out and take care!! XO Love ya, Fran.
