I think I fixed my blog problem. I have tried to get rid of my other blog account but it won't let me. I'll work on that later. I'm so Flustered with myself for messing everything up and taking so long to figure it all out. It wouldn't let me delete the 2nd account. I'll figure that one out later. I'll email google for help.
Got to go now. More later and hopefully pictures of some of the Fairies. SORRY about taking so long.
Hubby got home from Florida around midnight. Now he has to go to the doctor for his yearly blood work and then go meet up with our son Kevin. When he get home (don't know how long that will be) He is going to help me with the Kodak Picture Program. At this point I think I'm going to try downloading the pictures into my computer which has HP Photo Program. AGAIN I might mess that up to. I don't know why I'm so afraid of computers. Yes, I do know....It's because I mess things up and takes forever to fix it. I know I know...Everything will work out but just will take longer to get there. LOL LOL Better Laugh Than Cry. :-)

I THINK I MESSED UP
I really think I messed up when I changed the look of my Blog. I like the look BUT I have 2 accounts and forgot my passwords. Now I finally got this one back. Don't care about the other one because I never use it. BUT it took me forever to get back on this one. SEE I TOLD YOU I'M BAD WHEN IT COMES TO DOING STUFF ON COMPUTERS. GOT TO WATCH ME AT ALL TIMES. Now this is why I need my son and/or hubby to be here when I mess up. LOL LOL!!
Not putting Kodak in after this mess up. Hubby will be home and I will ask him what to do now that I have the Kodak disk. Not sure if I'm supposed to even use the Kodak disk.
I will learn how to use this new computer yet!! YES I WILL! It has lots of good programs in it. Now I have to learn how to use it also. MMMMMmmmmmmm!! Sounds like I need a class in how to use my computer and programs. WOOOOHOOOO!!! My hubby just called and his plane landed and he will be home soon. I know he won't want to work on my computer tonight BUT tomorrow I HOPE or tomorrow Night one.
Poor Lil Fairies will have another photo shoot tomorrow. Well, some of them will. Already have picture of most of them. I have a couple that need props. I'll finish them up tomorrow. I think I won't make 12 Lil Fairies at one time again. BUT I really need 12 for now. I have one that is colors of a Peacock and I want to keep her BUT she told me NO she wanted to be sold. Soooooooo guess I will make another one for myself. Well, it's getting late and my mind is going wild. LOL LOL!!! I have so many dolls flowing around in my head. It's been way to long since I created and now that I started creating again; dolls are over flowing in my brain.
I HOPE to have pictures up tomorrow or tomorrow night. NO PROMISE THOUGH!!! After the photo program is in and I know how to use it again.......then I can promise photos and not worry that I can't get them on.
GOOD NIGHT ALL,
PLEASANT DREAMS

FAIRIES-SHOPPING, ETC
I have Fairies finished except for their props to sit on. Well, some of the Fairies have props already and are finished. Have pictures and have pictures to take when all are finished. I'm going to download Kodak program into my computer this evening and HOPE I DO IT RIGHT!!! I probably should wait until tomorrow when hubby is home. He will be home way late tonight as he had to go to Florida for a few days.
Have to go out and mail Birthday cards to my daughters Angela and Brandi and my son in law Jason. Their Birthdays are July 5, 9, & 10th. My son Kevin's Birthday is July 24. He lives here so I don't have to mail his card. This will be the first time in years that we actually get to spend his Birthday with him. July is a busy Birthday month. My Mama and Daddy (God Rest Their Souls. They have been gone for years and I miss them very much). Their Birthdays are in July also. Soooooooo! July is a big month for Birthdays in my family.
Got to do some shopping while out. I have to find Doll magazines. I need them. I haven't renewed any of my doll magazine subscriptions yet. They all ran out when I moved. Now that was luck on my part. I got all my magazines BUT haven't renewed them yet. I have to do that this evening. Going to Michael's and hope they have them. Looked in the book store over the weekend and they didn't have any doll magazines!! WAS I EVER UPSET. hehehehehe!!!! I just had to look at older magazines I have. I never get tried of looking at them over and over.
Everyone Have A Wonderful Fun Day,

FAIRIES
Well, I worked all day on my little Fairies. They are almost finished. I counted them and I'm missing #12 Fairy; she must have flown away or hiding one. LOL!!! I'll find her or remake her.
I sculpted a tiny head yesterday. It measures 5/8 inch. It's tiny. I used a doll needle to sculpt some of her face features along with sculpting tools and my fingers. It was a challenge but fun. My hubby Ken was amazed at the tiny size. LOL LOL I was going to make a mold of it BUT my mold making stuff wasn't good. It would harden. Too old I guess. Have to order more.
Just wanted to let Y'ALL know how the Little Fairies were coming along. Taking longer than I thought but that's NOTHING NEW!!
Have A Great Day/Evening

LITTLE FAIRIES
PROGRESS ON MY LITTLE FAIRIES
4 Little Fairies are completed. HURRAY!! Had family time yesterday so didn't do much work on Fairies. Kids and Grands came over. We all had a great time together. Really enjoy spending time with our children and grands. Wish all our kids and grands lived here. :-)
My little Fairies are getting their heads on today. WOOOHOOO!! Got a few more to sculpt, paint and attach; then I'm finished. Therefore I can then move on to making some other dolls.

JUST A POST
This is just another post. We got back 1 A.M. Tuesday morning from PA. We had a wonderful fun time with all our family. My GOODNESS the grands have really grown in 2 years or is it 3years since we saw them. Their parents look the same they didn't get bigger or taller, WELLLLLLL!! Maybe a little bigger ROFL!! Hope they aren't reading this. ROFL!!! OH! and a little older. That makes me a little older ALSO!! :-( :-) I might be older but I still feel and think young. :-)
I've been working on lots of stuff since I got home. I'm working on a dozen Fairies. Going to start sculpting their little heads this evening and finish them tomorrow if I don't finish them tonight. Will finish all the little Fairies tomorrow even if I have to work late into the night. Something I haven't done in awhile.
I haven't forgot about posting pictures ................ Still working on that one. Son has been out of town alot and hubby has been busy SOOOOOOOoooooooooo! will wait a little longer. Hope son can come over this weekend and show me more about my new computer and programs. I'm not to Bright when it come to computers. I'm always afaird I will do something wrong and have problems then. So, I don't hit buttons. :-)
Just wanted to say Hello and I'm still around. End of July I will be going to a doll conference in Austin, Texas. Check it out at www.alldollart.com Lots of great doll teachers, fun, sales tables, food, etc etc etc. Check out all the fun on www.alldollart.com
Got to go back working on my Fairies....I hear little voices yelling at me to get busy and finish them so they can see and talk. MMMMMmmmmmm! wonder where those little voices yelling are coming from if they don't have their heads yet. LOL OH! one Fairy is complete so she has her head on. She's a loud mouth. LOL LOL!!
More Later and Pictures I HOPE, Not saying it out loud......when it happens I will be Thrilled and Y'All will see Pictures.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!

Going Away/Computer/Pictures
I am going away for several days. Going to PA to see our Granddaughter Brittany graduate. OH! MY! It seems like it was only yesterday she was a baby. Now 18 and going away to college. We are PROUD of her. She belongs to the Fire Dept., Recue Diving, Life Guard and she has a job where she lives in PA. She will be going off to college in Aug. Will get lots of Hugs & Kisses from her, some of our other grand kids and some of our kids. It will be so nice to see them. It's been a couple of years since we saw some of them. REALLY REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL OF THEM.
My new computer has problems.....it's so slow and it never was. Don't know what is wrong with it. When Ken comes home this evening I'll have him check and see what is going on.
I TRIED TO POST SOME PICTURES TODAY ON MY COMPUTER BUT NO GO!! Computer is to slow for some reason. I just hope this will come through. I think it will but won't bet on it. :-)
I probably won't be on a computer in PA but might get to get on one. Will see.
Everyone have a great week & weekend. HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DAD'S OUT THERE.
Love & Hugs,
Fran

FAIRIES/PICTURES/ETC
Sorry about not having any pictures posted yet. I have them in my camera waiting to go into a program in my computer. Hopefully but not holding my breath I'll get some up soon. MAYBE and that is a BIG word right now. Sometimes I feel helpless when it comes to programs on computers; especially trying to figure out my photo program. I'm going to try and download them from the camera to the computer and see where they go. :-) I might be SORRY BUT I MIGHT NOT EITHER. Hehehehe! Better laugh than cry.
Enough of my whinning. Later is Better Than Never. BESIDES I have been creating Fairies in Studio 2(that's what I call it and the other one I call Studio 1) Maybe I will get creative and name my 2 studios. YEAH! I think that would be good. Thinking Cap is on.
:-) My new Fairies are really cute even if I do say so myself. I am working on 12 Fairies (mmmmm that's a dozen; sounds like cupcakes to me. :-) Yum Yum!! Maybe they are or maybe some are Cupcake Fairies and others are cute fairies. Now I'm hungry for a cupcake. Vivian, I'm thinking how good your cupcakes look right now. :-)
EVERY ONE HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!
Love & Hugs,
Fran who is going to bed now. Got to get up and work on Fairies and Picture program on computer.

PICTURES
I'm working on pictures of my studios. It's not an easy thing at least for me LOL LOL!! Might have to wait until hubby comes home later and he will have to show me how to work these photo programs. We'll seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee if I can do it. LOL! I think Kodak is going to come back into my life.
SORRY! No Pics up yet.
I created a new Fairy yesterday. She's cute. Yes, I will take a picture and put up as soon as I figure the photo program out. I'm sure I will figure it out all by myself. :-) If not, consider me DUH! and I'll wait for my hubby to come home and sit it up. :-)

WOOHOO! STUDIOS ARE DONE!
OH HAPPY DAYS!! REALLY MONTHS!!! Studios are done and ready for me to start creating. WOOHOO!! I can't wait to get started. I think I will create something tomorrow or at least get started on something. I really have the need to create a doll.
Will take pictures of studios tomorrow and see if I remember how to post them. Got a new computer and not sure how the picture program works. It's no Kodak; which I had in my other computer. Camera batteries are charged and ready to take pictures.
Got my file cabinet this evening. Been putting folders, etc in it. I still have some folders, etc to put in it but not a big deal.
HAPPY STUDIOS ARE FINISHED AND READY TO CREATE DOLLS AGAIN!!
Hugs,
Fran

I have to go out this morning but soon as I get back this afternoon, I WILL FINISH SETTING UP MY STUDIOS. I WILL!! Not much to do now. Just a few things to put away and move all my paper files into my file cabinet. (I have to do that tomorrow because the file cabinet won't be here until then or Saturday). That's OK, I will put them in the closet in the guess room until then. That's where the file cabinet is going; in the closet in the guess room. Still room for guess to put their clothes. LOL!
Got to go for now. Have to leave in a couple of hours. Will post pictures in the next day or so of my Studios.

ANOTHER DAY 2011
WOW! seems like the days are going by so fast. 6 months has gone by as of tomorrow. WOW!! half of 2011 gone right by me. I know I have done a lot this year and still have lots to do.
My studios are almost finished and I will be creating new dolls again soon. WOOOHOOO!!! Still have things to do in the house. We have to stain kitchen cabinets, put in new counter tops and a new double sink. Living room, we want to take the carpet out and put hardwood flooring in and a wooden fireplace mantel. It already has tile facing and hearth. Maybe we will paint some more walls but not sure about that. The off white works right now. Might add colorful borders to the guest room or wallpaper on one wall or paint it colors. Not sure yet. I LOVE COLOR! Don't care for white or off white walls. See where I'm going, don't ya? LOLDo you see my head spinning? hehehe!! GEEEZZZZZ!! I keep thinking and I could be working on this house for another 6 months or longer. Brain has to shut off but won't. LOL LOL!!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO EVERYONE!! THANKS, LOVE & PRAYERS TO ALL OUR MILITARY WHOM ARE KEEPING US & OUR WORLD SAFE AND WHOM FOUGHT IN ALL OUR WARS. MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL AND THEIR FAMILIES. I met a young man while at AFIC and he was home on leave BUT was going back oversea for another tour. He was proud and happy to go back so he could help keep all of us safe so all of us could keep doing what we do. My heart goes out to him and all of our military people.
Hope all had a Happy Memorial Day. We did, we went to one of our son's house for a Bar-B-Q yesterday because he had to go out of town on business this morning. Everyone had a great time.
Fun day with the kids, grandkids and friends.
Up Date On My Studio & House: We ALMOST have my studios and house sit up and ready to start creating again. Well, my studios are just about finished. We still have some things to do to the house, like put hardwood flooring in the living room, stain the kitchen cabinets, put new counter tops in, new kitchen double sink and then we will be finished. WOOOHOOO!! Of course it's going to take a couple of months or so to do all that. Then we can sit back an enjoy it all. Maybe by Christmas it will all be finished. LOL LOL!!!
EVERYONE TAKE CARE! HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY & GOD BLESS US ALL

NEW WORK - LIFE - OTHER STUFF
Hi,
I'm posting again. :-) YEAH! STILL No pictures yet because I haven't had time to take any nor have I had time to figure out what program I have for pictures in my new computer. I hope to figure that out tonight when my hubby gets home. SHHhhhhhh! I kinda wish I hadn't asked Santa for a new computer last Christmas. I really was used to my old computer and knew exactly how it worked. I suppose I will learn to love this new computer after I figure it all out. Of Course I Will :-)
Life is good but busy with the new house (well it's not new new; it has been lived in by others before BUT it's new to us and it's all ours, payments and all LOL LOL!).
Getting all our stuff unpacked and a place to put it PLUS having to buy new curtains, furniture, etc. We are almost finished unpacking stuff EXCEPT for my studios. YEAH! I have 2 studios. 2 room side by side. I REALLY REALLY MISS MY BIG STUDIO I HAD IN OUR LAS VEGAS HOUSE. (Oh! speaking of our Las Vegas house; we rented it to someone HURRAY!!! that's a load off the minds). Got some stuff set up in one studio. Got lots and lots of boxes full of supplies, dolls, etc etc in the other studio room. OH! and I can't forget about all the other boxes full of supplies, etc in the guest bedroom. It's piled high also. Just a little path to get inside the doors. LOL LOL!! I have WAY TOO MUCH STUFF!! My son made me bring everything. He helped pack and move us. He lives out here in Texas. We have 2 sons and families that live 5 minutes away. It's nice seeing them alot more. Now if we could only get the other 6 kids and families to move out here. Wouldn't it be nice to have all your family in one town like it used to be???
I know I for one would be THRILLED AND LOVE IT!! Well, a Mother can Dream. :-)
I must get off of here, go feed the cat, get dressed (still in pj's and housecoat), get to working on stuff for AFIC 2001. I leave in 5 days and still have lots to do. Have to finish my new patterns and other things.
I'm excited about teaching Delphine Rose class and Flutter Rose class. I must have liked Rose when I designed these 2 doll classes. LOL LOL !!! Mmmmmm! I actually do like roses alot.
Well, I am getting off the computer now and going to go get my work clothes on and get to work in my studio. Wish I had pictures to post. SOON, ONE CAN ONLY HOPE!!
One more thing before I get off here. We hardly ever had storms in Las Vegas BUT OUT HERE WE HAVE HAD LOTS OF REALLY BAD STORMS (Yes Tornado's around and Tornado watches) AND I DON'T LIKE THEM!! I suppose we will get used to them. NOT!!!
OK I'm off here. Sorry for the rattling on and on. :-)
Have A Fantastic Day,
Love & Hugs,

NEED TO DO SOME CHANGES
I have to do some changes since I have moved to Texas. I lost my Cox email address SO now I have a new email address dollartistfran@yahoo.com BUT I also have other groups,etc I am/WAS on with my old Cox email. I have lost all of them and will have to sit down WHEN I have enough time to do so. LOL I can't even post on my groups because of the old email address is no good. MMMMMMMM!! Will take a few long deep breaths and go for it in the next day or so.
Hubby was in the hospital a few days and he's home doing fine. Just needs to rest some. Goes back to the doctor on Monday. Nothing life threatening. It could have been but thank goodness found out what the problem was and fixed it. He is feeling much better today. We went out do take care of a few things.
Moving is a BIG BIG BIG JOB!!! GOSH! it really takes lot of time to move from one place to another ALONG with unexpected stuff beon your control to pop up during it. It really could be worst, I'm complaining BUT not complaining also. I don't know when I ever had SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH on my shoulders at one time. Maybe I feel that way because I'm getting older. :-) It will all work out, the good Lord won't put anymore on us than we can stand. At least it really isn't as bad as things could be. I'm THANKFUL for that. So now I go and work on everything that needs to get finished (which will take a long while) and do what I have to do. :-) Our two sons are coming over tomorrow to help with the Dinning Room table and chairs and put my TV stand together to hold the DVD/CD's TV boxes, etc for my Studio. Got lots more windows in this house so have to go buy some new curtains, etc. We have window blinds on all the windows so that's nice; no one can see in and then the curtains/drapes will just ad beauty to each room. :-)
I have to go now. Just wanted to let Y'All know what I'm up to and why I'm not on any of my lists, etc.
Love & Hugs

NEW HOME NEW EMAIL ADDY
My hubby and our cat Kat have moved to Texas as some of you know. NOPE everything isn't in it's place yet. LOL I think it is going to take quite awhile before everything is done and in it's place. I'm still painting walls. Way too much to do. Little by little it will get finished. RIGHT?????? LOL!!!
I also have a new email addy: dollartistfran@yahoo.com My old email fransdollland@cox.net doesn't work anymore. Here in Texas we don't have Cox TV, etc. Sooooooo, closed Cox TV account in Vegas and email addy went with it. OH! WELL! Everything is working out.
Kat did loose 2 pounds on our move. I'm sure he will find it again since he is eating lots more now. He's my sweetie. His coat is so much shinier now. I think it much be the humidity here in Texas. Las Vegas had 0 humidity most of the time. We all dried out there. LOL!! I do miss Las Vegas, I miss our daughter Brandi and our grandson Cain and our friends. My eyes tear up when I think about them. I miss our other children also. They live in PA, NY, CT, NV & TX. That's 5 different states they live in. We have 2 sons and 5 grand kids that live here in Texas. Wish it was like it used to be when families lived in their hometowns. Life sure does change. Sometimes not for the better but that's life. Have to go with the flow. Life is Good!!! Will get to see most of them in June when we go to PA for our Granddaughter Brittany's graduation. GOSH! She's 18 and graduating from High School. My how time flies. I'm making her a mask for her Prom. And making one of her friend's a mask also. I'll have to take pics of them after I make them. OH GOSH! What box is my camera packed in.????? The girls will have to take pictures of themselves so I can see what they look like with their masks on.
I really shouldn't be on this computer BUT I'm so tried of working on/in this house. Not really but am tried of working on it right now. :-) It's wearing me out. I need a break from it.
I got work to do for my classes, etc at AFIC 2011. http://artisticfiguresincloth.blogspot.com Now that will be fun and relaxing. I haven't created a doll in several months. I'm itching to make several new dolls. BUT FOR NOW I will work on patterns and press mold instructions for the 2 new dolls I made sometime ago that will debut at AFIC http://artisticfiguresincloth.blogspot.com
I will also be demonstrating how to use my new press molds and Resin Half Doll. Have to finish the patterns. Time is getting closer to time for AFIC 2011. Hope to see some of you there. I still have room in my classes for more students.
I guess I have been on here long enough. I have to go back to painting the master bedroom bathroom. Not wanting to but have to. LOL
Everyone have a Fantastic Day!
Love & Hugs

I HAVE MOVED TO TEXAS
Hi Everyone,
As some of you know my husband and I have been going back and forth to Texas a lot this year. We bought a house in Texas and we closed on it and we just move into it. Lots and Lots of boxes all around in every room. It's going to take awhile to sit up everything. We have lots done but still have lots and lots to do.
My hubby sit my computer up. It finally got out of it's box since I got it for Christmas. It's up and running and I love it. Still have to add stuff to it.
I DO NOT WANT TO EVER HAVE TO MOVE AGAIN!!!! I THINK I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS. ROFL!!! NOT!!! BUT SURE DO FEEL LIKE IT!!! Not much sleep the last month or so. Way too much had to be done. Finding the house was a process and what an adventure it was. Found one house and love it. It was the PERFECT house. Few days before closing we got a call saying the sellers have a litigation against the house we can't close yet. They let us go into contract knowing there was a litigation on the house. The seller were forclosed on and the Realtor that had it listed didn't tell us. I suppose they were hoping it would get cleared up before closing. We didn't get that PERFECT house SOOOOOOOO! BACK TO SQUARE ONE!! Lots of trips were made during this time. Back to Texas to look at more houses. Found THIS ONE AND CLOSE IN A FEW WEEKS!!! YES went back to Vegas to pack up our house and move to TEXAS WOOOHOOO!!! Not THE PERFECT HOUSE BUT THE NEXT THING TO IT!!! We are happy with it and will be really really happy when it's all sit up and all boxes are empty. I have more black and blue and green marks on me. Packing, Moving and Unpacking is dangerous; at least it is for me. LOL LOL!!! OH! We will look back on these days and laugh about it. Just another adventure in our lives.
If it wasn't for all our adventures through out our lives it would be boring I suppose. Well, my house OOOPS! EYES are getting heavy. Think they are telling me it's time to go to bed. NIGHTY NIGHTY ALL!!
Love & Hugs

MOVING/CREATING/ETC.........
My life has been very busy for the past several months and longer. To make a long story short my hubby and I and our cat are moving to Texas. We have made several trips to Texas this year and it has taken alot of my creating time from me. :-( BUT it will be worth it when we get moved in and our lives back on track.
As I type we are packing up the house.
I will have a lap top until I get my computer back online. WOOOHOOO!!! Another Jounery begins this weekend. Of course it will take time to get the new house sit up, etc etc etc.
I will also be teaching at AFIC http://artisticfiguresincloth.blogspot.com/ this year. April, 29 - May 1
Can't wait. It's a FANTASTIC WONDERFUL CONFERENCE. Hope to see some of you there.
Lots of wonderful teachers teaching. Take a look at all the fantastic classes and check out everything that will be going on at AFIC.
Got to get back to packing. OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! My studio is going to be something else to pack up but got lots of help. Thank Goodness.
LOVE & HUGS

MY WORK, ETC ETC ETC............
This is Flutter Rose and Delphine Rose. I'm teaching her at AFIC 2011 http://artisticfiguresincloth.com/
I want to say a bit about my creations. I love creating dolls in all kinds of mediums. My dolls tell me what they want to be and therefore I create them how they want. :-) I know that sounds crazy but it's not, believe me it's not; just ask any dollmaker. LOL!! That's the fun part about creating;Not knowing how the doll is really going to turn out after you are finished. They change their mind through out the creating process. Yes, they do have a mind of their own even though it's coming from your own mind. Things do change in midstream. That's the fun of it all. I'm teaching Delphine Rose at AFIC also. She's a FUN doll for beginners to advance. Lots and Lots of FUN MAKING "Flutter Rose" and "Delphine Rose"
NOT TO WORRY, if you take my class at AFIC I will walk you right through it and you will love making your doll.
DELPHINE ROSE
DELPHINE ROSE in Black and White Poke A Dots
Ms. Peacock is a doll I have been working on since 2010. I had to stop and go on to other creations. She is almost finished. She now has skin color on her neck and chest area but NOT IN THIS PIC. I am trying to decide if I want to put arms/hands on her. I'm thinking very seriously about putting arms/hands on her. She will have to wait until sometime in March or April before she gets finished. Lots on my plate right now to work on her. Obligations have to come first. :-)
Will have a computer so I can read my emails, etc. Like I said, before I'm in Texas more than I'm at home this year. LOL LOL!!!
Love & Hugs
Fran
