SPRING has Sprung here at The Funky Farmhouse!!

PEEK A BOO!!!!
 
 
BOO!!!

 
So the other day the top pic caught my eye and I was like wait that is not a squirrel!! So I grabbed my camera and snapped a few pics to show Sim I was not crazy!! LOL
What is wrong with this picture? Raccoons come out at night!!! LOL This one came from the woods. He tried getting the suet cakes but couldn't. I just left him alone and he left and went back over the house and back into the woods!! This is just one of the reasons I love my Funky Farmhouse!!
 
 
 
 I just added this cool gig to my etsy shoppe!!
https://www.etsy.com/shop/thebagglady76?ref=em
 I had a lot of fun putting her together!! Do you remember the story of The Borrowers? Well you know I loved it, being about gatherers who lived with the mice!! And then there was the "The Little's" too. Some of my fav childhood stories. I put a lot of my cool junque findings into this oh so awesome gig. And I love it!! 
What do ya think of it?
 
 
 I don't go to Walmart very often but I ran in there the other day when I went into Flint. I was looking for the drinking glasses that look like Milk Bottles I seen someone post somewhere. But they didn't have them. So I went over and looked at the Easter stuff!! And I was like Oh My God no way!! CHALKBOARD EASTER EGGS!! I got them so Madeline and I can make some for her Mommy and some for me. There are a dozen in the coolest egg crate and it comes with the chalk too!! And only a $1.98!!
 
 
And Madeline wanted to say HI GUYS!! I have been spending a lot of time with this sweet little baby girl!! Her shirt says "Bring on the Sunshine"!!
 
I have been finishing up some gigs and working on orders. AND lovin this new sun shining week we are having after this very long stinkin winter!!
 
 
Keep on Keepin On!!
Peace Out!!
XOXO
Love Fran.

PUMPKIN THYME!!

 
Oh yeah baby it's "PUMPKIN THYME" @ the Funky Farmhouse!!!
 

Can ya digg it?
I designed these lil beauties from my head and had a blast making them!
 
 
I hand sewed the pumpkin and added the sweet lil mouse. This one is made from 2 different vintage materials I got thrifting. I added the fancy bling and BOOM it's a PUMPKIN!!
 

This lil beauty is up cycled from 2 different dresses and the lace is from an old vintage slip that was cut off.  They are a pretty good size measuring 10 inches across. Once again I have a lot of hand sewing into them. Sure helped me out while on the couch!! LOL
 
 
I truly love how these turned out. They are exactly as I saw them in my head!! So glad of that!! LOL My daughter Brooke is in love with them. Do you think Cinderella would love them too?
 
 I have them sitting in my living room and the gold one matches my living room so perfect!! but I will putting them in my shoppe later!!
 
Keep on Keepin on!!
XOXO Love Fran.

 Proud Daddy Nick holding her!! Already Madeline has made this family so blessed and happy! She's so sweet!! The new family will be coming home today!! This Grannie is so excited!!
 
Some other things that have been going on around here!!
 

 
I have been gardening around here in my new/old boots!! And my lettuce is coming in and I have already made two Taco salads from it!! Boy is good!! I have also been working on the front of the house. I am digging up a lot of it and it is taking me a long time!! LOL And now it's been raining!!
 
 

Here is a Funky Farm gathering I have been working on. I finally got it done!! I love how it turned out!! Anyone wanna buy some berries? in a vintage cheese box with a little friend in it? LOL This will be goin to the shoppe.
 

And you all know my love for GOATS!! This lil sweetie was so much fun to make!! I got the material at an estate sale and it actually is some shirts someone was making and didn't finish. I love using polyester from days gone by. I added some patriotic pins to "Uncle Sam" on his ear kinda like the tags they use on the goats at the Fairs. This is my own design I made from my pics I have of the goats from the County fair. Alittle funky for sure!!!

Can you guess what it is?

 

Yep IT's A GIRL!!
And we are all so excited!! Her name is gonna be Madeline Grace and she will be called Maddie!! She is due on July 1st 2014. All of the grandparents(there are a lot of us!!) found out at the same time via text!! I was driving down the highway and when I read it I started to text back cuz I was so excited and then remembered no texting while driving!! LOL
 
This a special mouse I made. I made it for a super fan of thebagglady76. She was so loving and always routing for me!! She got very sick on Super Bowl day and never recovered. Just fine one day and the next not!! She is from my extended family but an awesome lady. I named the mouse "Kylie" using her initials in the name. I am going to be passing this on to my cuzin. But I already have another one cut out and ready to go. After I looked at it I could see it kinda has that sweet baby look to it!! I am in baby mode I guess!!
 
 
On Valentine's Day Sim and I went to the For-Mar Nature Preserve. They had a Valentine's Night for Couples and it was all FREE. It was so well thought out and fun!! We lined danced went for a Winter Nights walk and as you can see here it was so cold! But yet so beautiful!! Walking through the woods was so beautiful. We watched for Night Owls and actually heard one!! We had hot chocolate at one of the stops and a fire to warm up by. Then we went in and we played "The Dating Game" well Sim and I were picked as couple#2 and Guess What we won!! Kaitlin said she had no doubt we did which made me feel good. She said you guys know each other so good!! LOL I am so glad she sees it!! We also went out for dinner before we got there at McDonald's and used a coupon!! These are the kinda dates I really dig!!
 

 
Besides the mouse I have been working on this special order. This is a make-do pig I made on a rusty hoe head. I love making these. This is the second one I've made. This "PIGG FARM" is going to PA. I hope it brings Spring with it for Jennifer!! I am just working on more gigs to keep myself busy. LOL And maybe out of trouble too!!
Keep on Keepin on!!
XOXO Love ya Fran.

Say what!!! Christmas is just around the corner Dudettes!!

 
Are you getting ready yet?

 
I have been making these cute little Christmas Mice Pin Cushions!! This one is upcycled from a red cashmere sweater that had a hole in it. I hand sewed the whole thing. I love making the sweet little pins in it too. Brooke had all these beads so I thought I'd put them to good use. This little sweety is listed in my Etsy Shoppe.
 


Along with these two Mice. These are made from warm n natural and grubbied up with my special mixture. They smell yummy. They also have sweet pins in them that I made. I've got another red one to list tonight. I am also whipping up some Crow Hangers for Christmas. I am in the Christmas mood which is super duper amazing for me!!! Thinking of new things to make and what baked goods I would love to make for the season.
We will be having a homemade Christmas this year as our funds are very low. I believe that is really getting me in the spirit and making it seem more fun!! Tonight is trick or treating. Waiting for my neighbors little kids to come and show me their costumes!! They are so adorable. I remember when their Mama use to come and show me hers!! I love it!! And I am also off to make Banana Bread!! Have a great and safe night.
XOXO Love ya, Fran.
