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.

And after Sim got home we went out for our Spring walk lookin for cool things. We did find some and YES I fell in the mud!! It was like quick sand!! LOL You should of been there cuz you would of laughed!! Sim said everything in my hands went flying!! I had my junque bagg with me and I had found a camp stool in woods!! LOL I still get a smile when I think of it!! Fun times.
So for now I am working on special orders and when I can I need to get some new things I have been working on finished. Plus I have a lot to catch up on around the funky farmhouse!! But that's fun sometimes!!! LOL

Been workin down on the "PIGG FARM"!!
My new project has been my "PIGG PEN" and boy do I love how she turned out! Her make do is a rusty rake that measures 7" across and she sits 10" high. I used a lot of my things I love on this one. Her dress is a piece of grubby cutter quilt.
I gave her a rusty washer necklace and added one of my lil chicks I upcycle from an old blanket onto her rake with moss and two little tomatoes. I think she is so funky farmhouse and it was kinda hard deciding to sell her! But she is for sale and I have already started another one!! LOL The next one will be on a hoe. They will all be different that is for sure!!
We had a break in the weather!! THANK GOD!! I feel I can get something done! My disease has been kickin my butt with the heat. I went to the doc today and guess what more medicine!! What cha gonna do!! Keep on sewing and making things is my best bet!! LOL Thanks for stopping by!!
XOXO Love ya Fran.

Frannie's New Up cycled "PIG" Gig
Check out my new groovey PIG!!!
I sewed this pig by hand and grubbied it up real good. It is my own design.
I found this rusty spring from an old mattress out in the pit up in the city. I also went on some other walks mainly up in town and found these other rusty items. I put Spanish moss in it and made a grubby tag that says "Pig Pen". I put a clothes pin on it for notes.
This is one of my favorite parts. I had this old bottle and Sim helped me put rusty wire on it to hang on the spring and then I added some dried flowers and weeds and a feather.
This is the back and I made a curly tail on it. I think it turned out pretty cute!!
I know for sure I will be making a lot more of these! My favorite part is finding the rusty gigs for it. I have always found things and made things out of them. One of the things I had the hardest thing with this pig was pricing it. I put a lot of work and thought into it. I sold this one before it was even finished. I have some more of the springs but each one will be different as I will be finding different kinds of rusty things. I may not be able to live on a farm but I can certainly make things that go on a farm!! LOL Pigs being my favorite!!
XOXO Love ya

My Rusty Muse!! and a special birthday!!!
This is my new cool little sign I made for my Rusty Junque Creations!! It is made from a pop top I found in the parking lot at the grocery store. And then I typed with my old vintage typewriter "FRAN'S JUNQUE" I have it sitting in a litte rusty spring I found.
I had been thinking for quite awhile that I wanted to make things from my rusty little finds. So I just went for it!!!
And this is what I came up with!! It is small and is on 2 inch wooden spool. The sheep is up cycled from an old coat and I used a rusty car part and rusty larger washer. I grubbied it up real good and dryed it in the sun!! This turned out so awesome and I LOVED it!! It SOLD in like 15 minutes after I put it on my facebook page!! Woo Hoo!! It lives in Virginia now!! I have another one almost ready to be finished!! And I am diggin it!! I am designing more too. I always see things in the junque I pick up. It feels real good to know that other people love what I make also. I guess I am officially an up cycled artist now!! LOL
On Friday we went down and celebrated Caylee's 3rd birthday!! She is so cute. We got her gardening stuff so she can be like Papa Sim and Grannie Frannie. We found a Little Princess greenhouse that was so cool. And got her some gloves and things to go with it.
I LOVE this picture of Caylee and her Daddy. Ryan and Christine got her a bike. Daddy is telling her how to ride it!! Precious moments!! That is her Mommy's legs in the pic!! I just captured this moment and I was so glad I did. She is such a blessing!!
I am just working around the house and enjoying the sunshine and nice weather. To soon to go outside to work. But in a week or so I will feel more like it. I always have a lot of things I can work on inside!! LOL I want to make more things with my rusty goodies. I have been waiting along time to get my mojo going on it. And now it is here!! LOL I want to be able to go find more rusty goodies too. That part is a lot of fun!! Hope you are all doing great!!
Peace Out Love ya
XOXO Fran.

Oh My Goodness!!! so much to catch up on!!
Here is alittle tour of my walk I took today. Sim made this hose wreath for me last Fall. I LOVE it and it helps to remind me that I can get out gardening soon!!
I was outside drying a piece of coffee/spice dyed lace when I saw this!! A gift from God!! Even though it is a creeping weed it has beautiful flowers!
Ok don't laugh but he is my friend!! And yes I talk to him! I just call him Sweetie Pie. I had surgery again on Friday and I did great!! No aspirating this time!! And boy did they baby me and kiss my butt!! LOL So I have been talking to the animals. My neighbors cats come over too!! Cuz we feed the birds. LOL I have been sleeping a lot due to stronger pain pills but I am weaning myself off them and getting some sewing done.
I am finishing up this little cutie!! How do you like the dolie hat on her? It is handmade from some cotton thread I bought at Salvo. The lady who ordered her likes the original one that looked like a dolie. I had a hard time trying to get one like it. So I came up with this!! I like it myself.
And Sim got these for me from the hospital gift shop. He was so excited that I was ok!! LOL He loves to spoil me!! These are reading glasses and they are perfect for my hand sewing!! I am digging the bubble tear drop earrings too!!
And my MIL brought this cupcake over to me!! She said it looked like a Fran. cupcake!! LOL It does doesn't it? (it was delicious too!!)
I have been watching a lot of TV and sleeping a lot. Tomorrow I get to go bye bye!! LOL We have errands to run and then I found a church sale that starts tomorrow!! Now it is really getting to be Spring!! Woo Hoo!!!
So glad to be back and also getting my mojo back!! Now I have another three months of doing things and having fun before the next surgery procedure!! At least it will be summer by then!!!
XOXO Love ya and Peace out!!!

Valentine's Made In Michigan!!!
WOW is all I can say!! Janicehttp://primsbythewater.blogspot.com/ sure blessed me for our swap that Amy hosted. Janice lives in Michigan too. She knew my favorite colors are brown and orange. She made me this primitive awesome doll and I LOVE the colors and pattern she picked. She made the crow and baby cupid too. And a sweet heart that says Hugs on it.
She also included these awesome hearts she made from the material that matches the doll. They are so cool they look like they are frosted. So sweet. I feel like I went to a store and got to pick out these awesome treasures!!!
Janice likes red white n blue. So I made her a set of my new "Kin Folk" in a cool wool plaid. I sure love making these.
I also added these goodies. Janice and I both go to the thumb of Michigan. Me more in the summer and she is blessed by living there. I upcycled a jar from the General store at the museum in Port Sanilac with vintage strawberries. I grubbied up a small year long calender and clipped with a vinatge clothes pin, a wooden heart that I put her and her husbands name on with my vintage typewriter. I got a spoon at the flea market with the name of a city she lives by. The pen is made by Brooke for her workshop. And some coffee and cookies. I LOVED putting this together for Janice!!! Thanks so much Amy for hosting this awesome swap.
And here is alittle teaser of what I am working on right now. My pattern I've been making and re-making!! LOL The material is from my cuzins husband coat from the inside of it that he could no longer wear. And a baby blanket. Oh my goodness it is turning out so gosh darn cute!! I know I will have it done very soon. I get so excited. LOL You know I will be posting pics real soon!!
Love ya all bunches!!
XOXO Fran.

Meet my New "KIN FOLK"!!
Here are my newest dolls I have been working on! And I LOVE LOVE how they turned out!! The little doll is my original drawing for the doll. Then I drew the bigger one! But I kept looking at the little drawing telling myself how much I loved it!! I always draw them out and then get excited to see what they will look like sewing with the material!! I can see many possibilities with this!! At first I was gonna call them "SNOW FOLK" but I decided to call them "Kin Folk". I sewed them out of warm n natural, and some calico. The heart is from red cashmere. They are all hand sewed. I will be listing them in my Etsy Shoppe tomorrow. I am back to creating and it feels awesome!!!
Peace out, XOXO Love Fran.

Can ya dig it!!!
We were out to eat last night for Kaitlin's birthday and Sim and Kaitlin both tell me it might freeze overnight! So when I got home I jetted outside before it got dark and picked tomatoes!! I canned some today and will finish tomorrow. I had fun and it was such a Fall thing. I even made chili. It was yummo!
The shelf where the two jars of tomatoes are siting is my hallway that Sim is remodeling for me! It is made from barn wood and the furnace is behind it. I have never had a pantry before and he is making the closet into one for me!! I am so excited and can't wait for it to be done. He will be painting it too. It is a color called Cork board, it is going from green to a brown. These are some old signs and license plates he put on there! Love me some rust!! LOL
Meet "NutMeg" my newest Pigg Doll!! She is very grubby and smells yummy! I put nutmeg in her special coffee/spice mixture. I love everything about her. I am making more pumpkins and another Pigg Doll can't wait to get her done.
Yesterday was My Baby Girl Kaitlin's birthday. She is 22 now. She just got her license as a GISD special needs bus driver. So my cuzin who is a Wilton teacher at JoAnnn Fabrics made her this awesome Bus Cake. She even put her bus #86 on it. Ok as you can see the bus looks like it is slipping off. I was the one that transported the cake home. It got hot in my car and when I picked up the box it was in it slid into the box. It even looked like it had a flat tire! Don't laugh at me cuz things like that always happen to me!! BUT Kaitlin loved it anyways! She took it with her over to her Dads for her b-day dinner, cuz Kaitlin and her Dad are both bus drivers for GISD. The only father/daughter bus drivers for GISD!!
Well that's pretty much what I have been up to. Keepin busy and creating!!
XOXO Love ya, Fran.

Happy Fall Ya All!!
SOLD THANK YOU!!!
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.

ABBY KATZ is my newest Raggedy Fran. Doll!! She is for sale in my Etsy Shoppe(located on my sidebar). I hand sewed all of her and she is my own design. She carries a little hippie bagg with her Sweet Annie she gathered from the farm. Abby loves hanging out in the barn. Her dress is my own design too. It is upcycled from a cool polyester I thrifted. She is wearing one of my grubby tags with her name on it. I added a fish pin to hold her bagg on. She is a very well behaved cat!! Don't ya just love her whiskers? And she has alittle bell on her collar so you can find her!!
But I bet this is where you can find ABBY KATZ hanging out most day! Gathering her Swet Annie and looking for mice!!
Hope you guys are doing good. We are under a heat advisory and I am praying for the safety of everyone! We also had a storm in our county and over 27,000 people are still without power. We are blesed we are not one of them. I am watering my garden everyday and praying for rain. We do not have air conditioning. But are staying cool anyway we can. I've been sewing to keep my mind busy. It's to hot to cook or even clean. I know one thing for sure the house will wait for me!! LOL I pray all of my blogging BFF's are staying cool and healthy. Just wanted to check in with ya's!!
