well, ya-ya's .. i've had time to sit and think upon our autumn gathering while my 'toes-ie' heals!
now .. there is indeed some 'paintin' that i want to get done before we all gather .. so's i can put back treasures on the walls. i love spring and autumn here the most! sooo .. i think we'll do a fun autumn-time gathering .. sometime in September.
depending on how many friends join us .. we might have to rent the cabins in town to stay in .. and jus' do fun stuff here at Freedom Valley.
It would be fun to make this a three-day weekend .. so we can include some side trips .. perhaps to Kathy Sugarbucket's wonderful log cabin shoppe and Luna's sheep farm (both about 45 minutes from me). And, of course, i would want to take everyone to my hometown of GREENSBURG! Some 'creating' would be fun too!
Now, this will probably not be a 'jus' farmgurlz gathering .. i have some 'city girl' friends who might want to join us too!
If we have only about a half-dozen of us .. we CAN probably all crash here .. i only have three guest beds in the 'stranger room' .. but we can put up cots on the back porch (i have three cots) and one single bed. there is always the HAMMOCK if you are adventuresome .. and oh goodness .. if we can get that 'outpost' porch built by then .. that would be another place we could put sleeping bags!
OH i DO love smaller gatherings too!!! Don't have to have tons of us here at once .. sometimes i truly enjoy having just a few gurlz visit at a time too! I think we get to know each other better that way.
Soooo .. we might just have to have one BIG 'day-time' gathering and scatter out some smaller over-nighters.
I sure do miss getting together each month with my 'doll club' gurlfrenz in maryland to make dolls .. .with some 'weekend' adventure thrown in in-between!
And i LOVE a 'variety' mixture of city and country girls .. we all learn so much from each other.
Well, i go to the doc today to check on the progress of my 'little toe' .. so far .. so good! been popping those 'anti-biotics' like clockwork .. it 'seeeeeeems' to be healing .. (the cut .. but it still looks NASTY!)
We're planning a trip to Niagra Falls next month and we celebrate two grandchildren birthdays .. one in August and one in September up in Toledo .. but we can work around those days.
Jus' e-mail me if you think you'd like to join us .. and i'll start planning some gatherings.
xo, frannie

oh audrey chile' .. we have the fabulous GREEN RIVER here .. we sometimes go canoeing down it! i'm sure there is some 'faster water' here too! i'll have to 'research it' for ya!
thanks for the sweet words sweetie! wasn't "Wee Folk of Cloth" lots of fun? who did you take classes with? have you been to any more cloth doll seminars since then? do you ever hear much from or about epb? (elinor peace bailey).
gosh .. i haven't spoken to her in ages! i'm sure she is still the driving force and indominatable spirit she has always been! i'd LOVE to come to California some day and surprize her at one of their doll shows or at one of her classes!
i've lost track of the 'artistic doll community' since moving to kentucky .. i miss my dolly gurlfrenz somethin' fierce .. don't find women in KY as interested in making dolls as they were 'up nawth'.
be sure to send me an e-mail saying you'd like to join us .. cuz' i'm jus' flipping them from e-mails into a 'folder' so that i don't forget anyone.
kathy, luna and i will conjure up MUCH fun and creativity! xo

Frannie.....I Loved visiting at Crooked Tree Hollow!!! .... A Magical Place! Not just because of the Wonderful Primitives in your home (which were FABULOUS!!!) but also because of the warmth of the host! Life is about the wonderful people we meet along the way............Would really enjoy connecting again and having time to chat this time!!! Hope I can work it out!!! Might even be able to convince my Honey to take time off and drive me up in our RV (any good fishing places he could go to in the area??)....He has a kyak and knowing that at the end of the "trail" he would have time to go fishing might just be all I need to convince him!!!
Until Later,
Audrey

Sounds like such fun! I think I'll have to play it by ear, but I sure would like to meet some farmgirls face to face! Might be able to swing it - fella's off to meet some volvo buddies in Oct. a way down in Alabama, so maybe I can sneak away to Kentucky in Sept :)
Looking forward to hearing more.. :)

Late September will probably work for me. I have to be in NJ again in the early part of the month. It really would be great to have farmgirls from around the country. I might could host one or two here at the farm too. Whattayathink of that Frannie?
