Check out my Cool "Hot Cocoa Bar"





 
Oh my goodness on Saturday I did a Craft Bazaar in a little town not to far from here. I always make my Home Made Cocoa this time of year. I just kept thinking I wanted to set up a "HOT COCOA BAR"!! So that is what I did!! And it was a big hit. So I am going to be expanding it at the next show I am doing! LOL You can't tell in this picture but I have my stuff displayed on a vintage sled. I will be doing a 2 day show at my church that I am co-chairing. Which by the way is making me exhausted!! LOL there is a lot of work putting on a show especially if you want it to be a successful one!! and be in it!!! 
So I am mainly working on that and some other small items. I really want to get this done so I can work on some more of those really cool "JUNQUE CHICK" brooches!! LOL I found some cool rusty stuff on the ground today!! I am always looking!!
 

If you look on the right side of the sled and Cocoa goodies you can see a small Christmas Tree. On that Christmas Tree are real grungy small boys socks that I added Snowman faces to and loops. I didn't have enough time to do what I really wanted to do BUT for the next one I will be adding Cone bags of Home Made Cocoa inside of them and I have already made grubby tags for them that are in the shape of coffee cups. I had more guys walk up and tell me how cool they were!! I loved it!! I can't wait to get them finished!!
If only there were more hours in the day!!
 
 Keep on Keepin On!!
XOXO Love ya Fran.

There's No Place Like Home!!! and thank God I am back!!!



It was so awesome yesterday when I walked up to this porch after being in the hospital for five days!! I had my routine surgery last Friday but during surgery I aspirated into my lungs!! I had to be admitted and I tell you I have never been so sick before!!  I have pneumonia!! I still have it but I am already doing better at home. I am on the couch!! Both doctors said it will take about two weeks before I am better and rid of it!! I have learned to take nothing for granted that is for sure!! This is my porch all decked out for the holly dayz!! I LOVE it. Sim did it for me from just things we already had and boughs from our Blue Spruce pines. The tree is in the house but not decorated and at this point I am not dong it. I think Sim will. Brooke hung up our family stockings on the railing in the livingroom, a big deal here at the house. We all love our stockings and usually get lot's of cute gifts in them. Even the ones that don't live here anymore.
 

Thought I'd share my pic of the eight cupcakes Kaitlin made me so I could decorate them!! Not the best but it felt so good to do it!! I have not felt like sewing or creating at all. Everyone around here is waiting to see me sew!! When I do they will all know I am alot better!! I have been watchin a marathon of Castle re-runs!! LOL So that is where I have been!! Missing in action but back at Home Sweet Home!! Love and miss you all!!
XOXOXO Fran.
