MERRY CHRISTMAS HAPPY HOLIDAYS

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hope all have a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday.

I'm baking cookies today.  I just took the last batch out of the oven.
 
We had two of our sons and family over Sunday night for a good ole Country Ham supper.  I made a apple pie and a blueberry pie. Kevin loves apple pie and Kenny loves blueberry pie.  Sooooooo since we moved here I bake them each a pie when they come over during Christmas.  We are going to our son Kenny & Natalie's house tonight for Christmas Eve.  In the morning we go over to our son Kevin & Joleen's house for Christmas Breakfast.  Christmas late afternoon we go over to Joleen's parents house for supper.   THINK I MIGHT PUT A FEW POUNDS BACK ON!!!  LOL LOL!!

EVERYONE HAVE A WONDERFUL
FUN & SAFE CHRISTMAS & NEW YEAR!! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL,
LOVE & HUGS

A COUPLE OF DOLLS

"ENCHANTED INSPIRATION"

 I created this doll a few months ago. I have shown here before & on Facebook.  I am working on a series of this type of doll.  She's soooooooooooo much fun to create.   There will be various dolls in this series.

"ADARA"

I created this doll for the Gypsy Challenge.   She is home now and in my studio.  I will be creating other types of dolls from my pattern.  She's a lot of fun to create.  

 

 

Now that Thanksgiving is over I will start working on new dolls.  I have several in the works already BUT I am going to work on more dolls for My "Enchanted Inspiration" line of dolls.

 

My granddaughter Brittany goes home tomorrow evening AND WE ARE GOING TO MISS HER SO MUCH!! The past 5 days have been lots of fun with her being here.  We put our Christmas Tree up and decorated it.  Still have some more decorating to do in the house.  I always but a Christmas tree in EVERY ROOM.  Can you tell I love Christmas????? :-)   We leave our trees up until Little Christmas, then we take all the Christmas trees and other Christmas decorations down and put them away for next year.

 

It's almost 12:30 A.M. and my granddaughter told me I need to go to bed. LOL LOL!!! She went to bed so Grandma needs to also.  LOL! 

NITE ALL,

HUGS,

Fran

CLEANING MY STUDIOS

I'm cleaning my studios so I can get some new creations started and finished.  I have had several things in progress but stopped on them when my cat "kat" was sick and died.  Now it's time to throw myself back into my creating dolls, etc etc.   I did sculpt a clay cat to put on Kat's urn. I just need to lighten his eyes a little bit more.  He has the prettiest green eyes at times and other times his eyes would be yellow. I miss him but he's in a better place now.

I have so much stuff in both of  my studios I don't know where to put it all. LOL LOL!!  I'm sure I will find places for it all. :-) 

Got some new patterns I had started and now I will finish them and lots of other dolls, etc etc I had started.  Going to finish cleaning my studios tonight and start on new dolls tomorrow. WOOHOO!!

EVERYONE HAVE A VERY CREATIVE DAY!!
Luv & Hugs,
Fran

"NOW THAT HALLOWEEN IS OVER".........

Now that Halloween is over........It's back to everyday stuff.  Going into my back studio and finish cleaning and putting stuff in place. What A MESS I MADE!! LOL LOL!!   I'm finding stuff I forgot I had. WOOOHOOO!! Found lots of good stuff. :-)  Then it's back to creating.

Hubby is home today not feeling well.  Allergies are getting to him.  It's 66 degrees and going to be 87 degrees today.  SUMMER IS STILL HERE! 

Just wanted to pop in and say HI and Hope all had a fun Halloween.  I know the East Coast is going to have Halloween Nov. 5th.   My thoughts and prayers are still going out to all the people that was in the Hurricane. 

HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY!
Hugs,
Fran
"DOLLS ARE MY CANVAS WITHIN MY SOUL"1996-2012 & beon. :-)  I say that because it's registered in Texas also since I moved from Las Vegas(it's still registered there also).   Seems I had to register it when I moved here.  ANY HOW,  HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY CREATING!!


SOON IT WILL BE CHRISTMAS!!! I WONDER IF WE WILL HAVE SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS?????? Probably not.....Might be warm and it might be cold.  Never know here in Texas. :-)  Las Vegas, NV was warm at Christmas.   One year on Christmas the kids went up to Mt. Charleston and brought a truck load of snow and dumped it on our front yard for the kids to play in.

I'm making more of my Snow People.  There will be new and different ones. 

OK, I'm Out Of Here.  :-)

HUGS

HAPPY HALLOWEEN/HURRICANE

BOO! Everyone have a safe fun HALLOWEEN.  We are going to our son Kevin's house tonight for Halloween.  We haven't stayed home for Halloween since we lived here. :-)  Maybe next year. 

I sculpted another Halloween PUMPKIN BOY standing on a Jack O Lantern with his Trick or Treat pail, a ghost on a stick, a black cat and some candy pieces.   BUT I NEVER finished him. :-(
Maybe I will finish him before Thanksgiving. :-)  He needs to be painted.  Well, after all he is a pumpkin. He can be a bit late for Halloween.

Haven't done much of anything lately BUT WILL be working on new patterns and dolls.  I know every time I say that something happens or comes up that stops me from creating. NOT THIS TIME! I WILL GET SOME NEW CREATIONS FINISHED SOON!  Got several started already.  Studios are almost clean AGAIN! :-)    Just have to find places for everything. 

Got to go shopping this morning, so I better get off the computer.  Just wanted to post and wish everyone a FUN SAFE HALLOWEEN.

My heart and prayers go out to all that were in the path of the Hurricane.  We have children in PA, NY and CT.  They are all safe. Some are still without electric and the clean up has begun. I'm thankful that our kids are safe.  My heart & prayers are with everyone that was in this Hurricane and  with all that were lost in this terrible storm.


WITCHY WITCH IS ON HER BROOM AND IS OUT THERE FLYING AROUND CHECKING OUT THE AREA.  SHE'S UP TO WITCHY WAYS SOOOOOOOO WATCH OUT EVERYBODY!
KIDS HOLD ON TIGHT TO YOUR CANDY!!!

SHE'S READY TO SCARE KIDS AND GROWN UPS TONIGHT!!!  

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

MISSING WRITING ON MY BLOG & MORE

Sorry, I haven't been posting on my blog lately.  Haven't been feeling well.  Seems every time I turn around something needs to be taken care of. :-)   I'm feeling much better now.  SHHHHHHHHH!! I won't say that too loud because every time I do it comes back to HAUNT ME.   Nothing seriously wrong.

I made Homemade Chicken Soup for supper tonight.  I've been craving it SO, I made some.  Cornbread will go yummy with it.  SUPPER TIME HURRY AND GET HERE.  :-)  Frannie Is Hungry!


Just wanted to let Y'All know why you haven't seen me posting lately.
Everyone Have A Wonderful Weekend!  This week really FLEW BY ME !!  Hope the weekend goes SLOWLY.  Will get much needed creating done. :-)

LUV & HUZS,
Fran 

P.S. Sunday 10/21
Sorry still not on the computer much at all. Still not feeling like my old self yet.   I guess I did talk too soon. LOL!  I am feeling better.  Just wanted to let y'all know I'm still here and hopefully I will feel like staying on the computer longer tomorrow or the next day.  Not even creating in my studio like I thought I would.  Think I will go eat more Chicken Soup.

BLOG/COMPUTER

HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY EVERYONE!! Enjoy the day if you are off from work or not. :-)

I GOTTA learn how to do more things with my blog.  They have changed things and I'm lost for right now.  Will have to sit down and spend lots of time in my blog to figure out how everything works.  Personally I thought the old way was easier. LOL LOL!!   I guess one would say; I don't like changes. LOL!  When it comes to the computer I'm not too bright. ROFL!  I'm always scared I'm going to do something really wrong to my compter.  I'm sure if I do something wrong I can get it fixed.  Just have to call my son to come over and fix it. OR maybe my hubby could but he likes hitting buttons when he shouldn't. LOL LOL!! 

Just like now on this page I'm typing in..... on the side it shows in orange Post settings: Labels, Schedule, Permalink, Location and Options......   I have read some of them but will go in and read more.   I know how to change my blog page background with their settings/templates BUT I don't know how to make my blog page with a background of my own.  Don't know how to apply pictures, etc on the sides.  I know how to apply pictures in my postings.

I WILL FIGURE IT OUT. :-) But not today.  Got some other things I have to do today.
Hugs
Fran

BLOG ON FACEBOOK

MMMMMMM! FACEBOOK ON MY BLOG/BLOG ON FACEBOOK.  MMMMMMMM!
Not sure how this happened. My daughter had to google me to get to my blog. I didn't change anything. I didn't add Facebook so not sure what happened.  OH WELL! just another mystery to solve. LOL LOL  Just let the fingers do the walking????? LOL!  I'm like going crazy figuring out what happened.  Just don't have the time right now to go in and check blog and facebook to see.
Will do that later tonight or tomorrow.  For now I will have to keep it.  Hope it doesn't mess anybody up getting on my blog or facebook. 
HUGS,
Fran who WILL FIGURE THIS ONE OUT. LOL LOL   All I did was change the background on my blog.

BETTER PICTURE OF "PUMPKIN BOY"

Here's a better picture of "PUMPKIN BOY"   You will also see a little bit of "PUMPKIN GIRL"  they are hanging on my "HALLOWEEN TREE".  Got to put more Halloween spooky things on my Halloween Tree.   Now you can see "PUMPKIN BOY" his picture is much clearer now. 
Hugs,
Fran

PUMPKIN BOY

PUMPKIN BOY is hanging on a black Halloween tree.  I only sculpted one out of clay.  I am going to make a couple more (MAYBE) :-)  if there's time between now and Halloween.  Got other creating I have to do.  Have mohair to dye,  new patterns to put in pattern form ready to sell and other creative items to make.

PLEASE MEET "PUMPKIN BOY"

He's hanging in my black Halloween tree.

 



 

Halloween Boy is hanging on the Halloween Tree beside Halloween Girl.  Will hang some other Halloween items on the tree with them.  Not sure if I will create anymore Halloween Boys and Girls before Halloween.   I suppose I should :-)  Maybe I will :-)  Who Knows :-)  Will Have To Wait And See :-)  Maybe I'll put a few Black Birds on the tree with Halloween Girl & Boy and maybe a Witch, a Skeleton.  JUST A THOUGHT! :-)

Hugs

COMING SOON: LIL PUMPKIN BOYS

PICTURES OF LIL PUMPKIN BOYS will be posted this week. I'm working on them and as soon as they are finished I will be posting them sometime this week. Probably Wednesday or Thursday OR it could be earlier or a day later. You know how it is with art work, one never knows how long it's going to take when life gets in the way of creating.  PUMPKIN BOYS said, They will show up on Fran's Blog this week.  YEAH! THEY WILL!!!!! :-)

PUMPKIN HUGS,
Fran

LIL PUMPKIN GIRLS

HERE'S SOME "LIL PUMPKIN GIRLS I CREATED"

 

 

LIL PUMPKIN GIRLS are made out of Sculpey Clay and Alcohol Inks. 

They sit alone or They will hang

You can see the yarn tie on top of some of their heads. I forgot to hide them when I took the pics. :-)

 

These are some things I have been creating.  I finished Celebration Of Dolls.  I am working hard and fast to finish my Gypsy Challenge doll and get it in the mail like ASAP.  Not sure if I'll finish her or not.  I've just been over loaded with being sick(bad allergies), going on cruise and creating.  That's ok , I love it. :-) Working on other stuff also.  It all works out and now I'm getting off here and going to Post Office, got stuff to mail and especially my granddaughter's Birthday Day card.

MORE LATER..... Luv * Huzs, Fran

MORE PICTURES FROM CRUISE

MORE PICTURES OF OUR CRUISE.  I HAVE MORE AND MY HUSBAND HAS SOME PICTURES IN HIS CAMERA.  I WILL POST MORE TOMORROW. 

 

 

PICTURES OF CRUISE

Here's a few pictures of the Cruise my husband Ken and I went on this past week.  We went on the Carnival Magic ship.  We went to Key West, Nassau, Bahamas.  We had lots of fun.   Will post more pictures later.

HOME FROM CRUISE

HOME FROM OUR CRUISE.  We had lots and lots of fun.  The weather was great.  A bit hot but not to bad.  Had very little rain and when it did rain it waited until we got back on the ship to rain.  Only was little showers.  Not bad at all.  It rained while out to sea but wasn't bumpy.  Glad of that.

Took some pictures while on tours.  My camera setting wasn't right so I didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted to.  My husband had his camera and he took lots of pictures also.  I now have to figure out what I did to my camera and change the settings on it.  Will post some pictures in a bit.
Got to go download them into my computer.  Will post when I put pictures on my blog.  Check back later and see if I posted pictures yet. :-)   I PROMISE I WILL POST THEM BEFORE THE NIGHT IS OVER.   IT WILL BE IN AWHILE.
Hugs,
Fran

GOING ON VACATION

You won't be hearing from me for a week or little over a week.  I will be on Vacation and won't be on the computer. Going on a cruise with my hubby for our Anniversary.  Looking forward to relaxing and having FUN! :-)   YEAH, I could get on the computer on the ship BUT NOPE. :-) :-)

I am working on finishing Teaching Proposals before I leave.  You know how it is when you have so much to do and seems like everything goes wrong and sets you back?????? Well, that's my life right now. HEHEHEHEHE!  Better to laugh than cry.  I have everything under control and everything I have to do will be done today.  Got to pack, send out proposals, clean house (could just let the kids do that :-) Of course they will be here so no need to clean to much. :-)

I still have to pack for our trip. Hubby packed a couple of days ago.  I didn't find time to pack but will this evening.  I'm down to my deadline. LOL!  Nothing like rushing around.  Really, I'm used to it.  I think I would be afraid if I got things done way before time.   LOL  REALLY!   My husband calls me an over achiever. I know most of you out there are just like me, AREN'T YOU?????

Will post when we return home from vacation.  Kids will be here to take care of Kat so no worries.  Kids get to stay home this time.  Love going on a Cruise with the kids.  We've done that before on a Halloween Cruise.  That was fun!  I dressed up like a cat of course. :-)  

Will play catch up with blogs, emails, pinterest, etc etc etc when return home. 
Everyone Be Creative While I'm Away From My Computer.  :-)
Luv & Hugs,
Fran

HALLOWEEN SOON WILL BE HERE!!!

Well, Halloween will soon be here.  Lots of SPOOKY GHOST & GHOULS will be walking and flying around.  I have a Witch flying around in my house already.  She can't wait for Halloween Night.

MMMMMMM! I guess I better watch out on Halloween night when I open the door for the SPOOKY GHOST & GHOULS out and about.  I'm sure WITCHY WITCH will want to fly out the door and join in with all the other Witches, Ghost & Ghouls for a scary night of fun.

HERE SHE IS SITTING WITH HER BROOM READY TO FLY AS SOON AS HALLOWEEN ARRIVES.   I told her she had a bit of a wait but she said, she doesn't care.  She is going to sit with her broom and wait until HALLOWEEN NIGHT!  Looks like I'm in for a night of watching Witchy Witch so she won't fly out the door.  She's saying; she promise she will come back home after she and others have a fun HALLOWEEN FRIGHT NIGHT!  MMMMMMMM! I'M SURE IT WILL BE FUN FOR HER OUT TERRIFYING ALL THE KIDS.   Glad she has a couple of months to wait.  SHHHHHHH! Can't let her hear that, she thinks it's sooner. Boy is she in for a surprise.  She won't be happy when she finds out HALLOWEEN is a couple of months away. LOL LOL LOL!!!

WITCHY WITCH SITTING WITH HER BROOM WAITING FOR HALLOWEEN NIGHT!  HEHEHEHEHE! SHE HAS A LONG WAIT!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!
:-) Fran :-)

JUST A NOTE

Thought I'd post Just A Note this morning.  Sorry, it's been awhile since I've posted anything on my blog.  Been away, had my granddaughter and daughter visiting and been sick with allergies.  It's been weeks since I have felt good BUT I feel much better now. WOOOHOOOO!!  Hopefully I've got the allergies under control now.  I have allergies everywhere I have ever lived.  Maybe I should stuff cotton in my nostrils to keep the pollen out. :-) LOL!

I have and am still working on new dolls.  I am finishing some that I started months (lots of months ago).  I'm going to start on some Halloween and Christmas dolls/snowpeople and others.  That will be later because my hubby and I will be going away for our Anniversary.

My studios are a total mess.  One studio is so piled up with everything I can hardly get in past the door.  After the conference I taught at I was hit with the allergies and just did not feel like putting anything away or work on anything.  SOOOOoooooooo Everything is piled up in that studio just waiting for me to put everything where it belongs.  My other studio is in fairly good shape but still messy with everything laying around as I create. At least I can walk in this studio. LOL LOL!  I have more stuff than I probably will ever use.  AND I keep buying more stuff because I don't have what I need and have to go to Michael's or Hobby Lobby. :-)  Then I see other stuff and think I have to have it also. LOL LOL!!!  I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES THIS. :-)  RIGHT???? :-)

Well, I am going to get off here and finish the piece I've been working on for a couple of days.  I started her sometime ago(months and months ago) and just stopped and went to something else.  I had all the supplies I needed for her but had to stop and do lots of other stuff.  Sooooooooo she got put aside and forgotten about until I pulled her out of my unfinished basket.  I really really love this doll (she's more of a show piece to sit in the house). She's a Fran doll alright.  I guess I should come up with a new word besides doll for her. MMMMMmmmmmmmmm!! Have to think on this one. YES, I will have to turn up my brain for this one.  I'm usually good about coming up with sayings and names but right this minute nothing is coming to me yet.  She's so peaceful to look at but don't want to call her peaceful.  As I finish her she will tell me what she wants to be called. I KNOW DOLL CREATORS ARE LIKE THAT.  RIGHT DOLL CREATORS??????? :-)
More Later & Have A Great Day!
Hugs,
Fran

TEACHING - SICK - CREATING

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile.  Was in Austin at All Dolls Are Art Conference teaching.  What a wonderful fun time all had.  I really really enjoyed teaching my "Fairy" class and my "Miss Prissy" class.  The whole conference was wonderful.  Lots of great items in the Sales Room this year.  Gypsy Pamela and Ken were there with all their WONDERFUL fabrics, patterns, trims, etc etc etc.  WOW!
If you get a chance to go in 2013 RUN TO SIGN UP.  Watch for sign ups on www.alldollart.com

I died when I got home.  Not really died or I wouldn't be typing. :-)  I died with ALLERGIES!! AND STILL AM.  Getting better but it sure is taking a long time.  Been to doctor and taking meds she said to.  Something in the Texas air my body doesn't like.  I've been staying inside the house most of the time.  I just went out to go to Michael's because today was the last day to use my 40% off coupon and I needed another large 8lb box of clay.  Got to do some more sculpting.  I'll surely feel like my old self soon.

Stayed in my PJ's for days.  I guess I had a Pajama Party.  :-)  Just wish I had felt better.  Another few days and I think I will be back to my ole self.  Hubby was down with allergies also.

Going to work on some more new dolls, hopefully I feel like it tomorrow.  Got several new ones made but was working on more before I went to ADAA conference.   I will finish them and start on new ones. 

Time seems to go by SOOoooooooo! FAST! 

Going to get off here.  Just wanted to post and let all know I'm still here. :-)

MORE SOON! :-)
Luv & Hugs
Fran

TEACHING IN AUSTIN AT ALL DOLLS ARE ART CONFERNCE

I haven' t been posting lately because I am really really really busy getting class kits together, Sales stuff made for my sales tables, etc etc.  I always say I'm going to be ready early for teaching and conferences but NO IT NEVER HAPPENS THAT WAY!!  Taking a break right now and going out to supper with hubby and grandson Cain.   THEN BACK HOME to work some more.  It's really not to bad just trying to get lots of stuff finished and packed. It's time comsuming BUT FUN!  I LOVE teaching at conferences and doll clubs.

Just wanted to let everyone know that read my blog I will be working in my studios for the next 3 days and then leave for All Dolls Are Art Conference.  I'll be home July 30th but not sure when I will get a chance to post because our grandson Cain is still with us and he leaves a couple of days after I get home.  Will spend time with him and time putting stuff away. :-)  It will be a fun conference and I'm looking forward to it.

Luv & Hugs
Fran

MISS PRISSY M & M

I'm teaching my Miss Prissy Dolls next weekend at ALL DOLL ART CONFERENCE. 
I have lots of different Miss Prissy Dolls.  It's going to be fun to see what my students Miss Prissy's look like. Can't wait, we are going to have lots of fun in this class. 

My other class is my Fairy Class.

Luv & Hugs

LITTLE DOLL ARM/HAND

LITTLE LADY Arm/Hand 

All she needs now is another arm/hand, legs with feet of course :-)  A body and head and dressed.

Not sure when that will happen though.  Thought I would post her little arm/hand.  She'll get totally finished in a week or so. At least that's the plan for now. :-) 

OOOPS!! If you click on the picture to make it larger you will see bits and pieces of fibers on her arm. Sorry about that, I forgot to brush them away.  Her arm/hand is smooth and free of blemishes. I just forgot to clean her little arm/hand before I took the picture. :-) I'm bad. :-) Sorry bout that.  Next time I post all the parts they will be nice and clean without fibers laying around. :-)  It's late (almost midnight here and my eyes are getting heavy and sleepy). NITE NITE ALL.

Little Lady Arm/Hand I sculpted out of clay. This is just the start of a new little Lady Doll.

Have A Great Day Creating Something,

Fran

DOLLS

Posting pictures of some dolls I've posted on my facebook.  Some didn't come out right on facebook so thought I would see if they post on my blogspot right. :-) Probably something I was doing wrong on Facebook.  They post fine here. At least I know my pictures post fine here.  I'll have my son Kevin help me find out what I'm doing wrong trying to post pictures on facebook.

Baby Jacob Balloons

Look what a wonderful thing Baby Jacob's family and friends did for Baby Jacob.  They sent lots and lots of balloons for him. My heart and prayers are with Baby Jacob and all his family and friends.
