ETSY SHOP, ETC ETC ETC

Been playing around with my Etsy Shop for hours and hours today.   No items on it yet.  Hopefully tomorrow I will have a few items on it.  I've had my shop for a long long time just haven't put anything on it.  Always something else to do that has to be done first.  NOW I Am taking time out of other things and put items on my Etsy Shop.  I will work on putting items in my Etsy Shop tomorrow.   I WILL!!!  Have to take some new pictures, etc.....

Other than that, nothing else is new or going on. :-)
Have A Great Day/Evening
Hugs,

UPDATE ON WEIGHT WATCHERS TODAY

 

I went to Weight Watchers and I lost 2.6 pounds! WOOOHOOO!!!  All I have to say is it's ABOUT TIME I STICK TO THE WW EATING PLAN. I now WEIGH 156.6  Still have LOTS of weight to LOOSE.  I'm back on track and I"M GOING TO DO IT!!  NO MORE YO YOING.

I'm happy,

XO,

Fran

 

P.S. I HAVE TO LEAVE THE SWEETS ALONE!! THEY ARE MY DOWN FALL!! ONCE I GET STARTED ON SWEETS, I DON'T STOP!!!   BUT I AM GOING TO NOW!!! :-)

WEIGHT WATCHERS

I've been on Weight Watchers forever off and on for years and years. Yes, at one time I was a Life Time member.  Still am but In moving and going to other states I just started over. It was to big of a problem finding my paper work after being off of WW for years. So, I rather start over. No biggy because I still have my diamond Life Time Member pin and other pins.  They don't even give them anymore. LOL LOL I guess everybody cuts back one way or the other. LOL

My latest WEIGHT WATCHERS has been since I moved to Texas almost 2 years ago. Well, I didn't start Weight Watchers again as soon as I moved here but several months after I moved here. I did good for awhile but fell off the wagon per say.  :-)  Got back on the wagon and still on it but fell several more times UNTIL THIS PAST WEEK.  I DECIDED I AM GOING TO STICK TO LOOSING WEIGHT ON WEIGHT WATCHERS..... I have to say it loud so my inner Fran will hear it and know I mean business. :-)

I went to a WW meeting on Wed. morning and I HAVE MADE UP MY MIND TO STICK TO WEIGHT WATCHERS and stop wasting my time, their time and my money each week.  So, I weighed in Wed. and I weigh 159.2 lbs (YES I AM TELLING MY WEIGHT. But I started out at 164 when I first started over a year ago. I have YOYOED UP & DOWN SINCE) NOW STARTING  with this coming Tuesday, I will post my Weight and How Much I Lost. 

I have to post as this will give me incentive to loose each week. Because I know lots of people are going to see what my weight lost is.   Gain is not in my vocabulary anymore.

OK ........... Every Tuesday after WW Meeting I will post my weight and how much I lost. 

I WILL & CAN DO IT!
XOXO
FRAN  :-)

NOT MUCH GOING ON HERE. 

 

Have been working on a couple of things.  I was to have one of them emailed out already BUT It's Not Going To Happen.  Got behind on things and couldn't finish it in time. :-(  OH WELL, will finish it and post it later for y'all to look at. :-)    

 

 

I'm going to bed now.  Got to get up early in the morning and do somemore work on a doll and a couple of other things.  Got to look up the deadline for mailing this doll.  Have a couple of swaps to finish.  The cruise vacation put me behind.  Way behind. LOL!

I'll catch up tomorrow. 

 

                                   NITE NITE ALL

 MY NEW DOLL "SPIDERLILLY"

 

I have been wanting to create SpiderLilly for a very long time.  I asked the artist of the painting that I  purchased some years ago if I could create SpiderLilly into a doll.  He said, he would be honored for me to make SpiderLilly into a doll.  I had sooooooooooo much fun creating my SpiderLilly doll.  I sent a picture of Spiderlilly to the artist and he really liked her. 

 

I have yet to decide if I want to create my SpiderLilly doll into pattern form and sell patterns of her OR teach her at conferences, doll clubs, etc.  Normally you don't sell the doll pattern and teach how to make the doll too.  SOOOOOOOOOOO!!! NOW I HAVE TO DECIDE IF SHE WILL BE PATTERNS FOR SALE OR TEACH HER IN CLASSES. 

If I sell her in pattern form or teach her, there will be a Dedication to the Artist that painted the picture of Spiderlilly on the back of all patterns I sell and/or teach.

 

I would love to hear what you think?????? PATTERNS??? OR TEACHING???

 

PLEASE MEET MY "SPIDERLILLY" DOLL. "SHE'S MY PRIDE & JOY"

See The Spider On Her Skirt?  I can pose her different ways.

Hope you enjoy looking at my SpiderLilly Doll.  I had lots and lots of fun creating her from drawing the pattern to finishing her.  I had more fun creating her than any of my other dolls. SHHHHHHH! I should not say that too loud, the other dolls in my studio might hear me. LOL LOL!! :-)

 

MY "SPIDERLILLY" WILL BE IN PATTERN FORM FOR SALE OR I WILL TEACH HER AT CONFERENCES, DOLL CLUBS, ETC.  

 

I REALLY would like to hear what you think: Pattern OR Teach.   

 

Thank You for looking at my Spiderlilly and I would love to her your opinions. Please leave a comment. :-)

 

Hugs,

Fran

HOME FROM CURISE & NEW DOLL

Returned home late last night from our vacation and cruise.  It was great seeing Aunt Jean and other family members.  Spend 3 days with them and then went on a cruise.  NOPE wasn't the cruise ship that was stranged in the ocean.  I really feel bad for all those people.  Hope they all return home safe and sound.   We had a great time.  Will post pictures of the curise later.

I finished a new doll before we left for our vacation.  I will post pictures of my new creation later tonight or tomorrow.   I would love all of your opinions on my new doll....Should I sell her as a pattern or teach her as a class?  I have been leaning more towards selling my new doll as a pattern. BUT I REALLY WOULD LOVE YOUR OPINIONS WHEN I POST MY NEW DOLL. 
Please check back to see pictures of my new doll. 
Thank you & Hugs
