Frannie's services as a label and tag designer. I had her design and create new business cards and hang tags for my products (chidren's clothing and accessories) and she did an absolutely beautiful job. You can check out the pictures of her product on her blog(http://farmfolks-frannie.blogspot.com/). She got them right out in the mail to me in time for the Western Washington Fair,a huge show that I'm participating in this year. If you need labels for your handmade or homegrown product, contact Fran. |

I have my ..'limitations' with the Yo-Yo's.. or did anyway.. until i saw them sitting in a couple mason jars on the counter!
i really kind of liked the rustic look of that!
& Did You See that Link that had them in that HUGE clear Lamp?
With a Yo-yo Lamp shade??
Wow.. THIS is my Goal now.. So I'm using 7 year old Child Yo-Yo labor for my lamp.. yes.. there must be truly something wrong with me now.. She has a quota to meet this week end while we're at the ball game!!

I was just going to say look at her in her Apron!!
What a doll!
I bet she might be able to tackle Yo-Yo's too Fran..
I think Sunshine's Girls started these out at a pretty young age..
My neice Zoey has been at them since she was 7.. But I'm thinking Sunshines Girls were even much younger..!
I love keeping a baggie full of them in my purse & no matter where we are She & I can always pull them out & work on a handful of them together..
Keep up the beautiful work You two.. !
i love seeing all your developements!!

Well how cute is that and she is even wearing an apron! She could probably teach me a thing or two about sewing, doing pretty good with that seam matching already.

here is a pic of the beloved olivia learning to match up and pin the seams, she worked so hard on this and was very proud to sew like her "omie".
ps. the little aqua pin cushion was a gift from our very own sunshine and with all my pincushions floating around the house it has become one of my favorites and obviously one of the favs of olivia as well.

thanks so much, nancy jo.
that is why i have always thought of you as the guardian angel of the farmgirls, you are so supportive and encouraging. i often visit your blog site, but havent left many messages, it is usually my gift to myself before i go to bed, or if i want to go garage salin, and dont have the funds to do so.
will keep ya posted on my cards and such. i am getting ready for a craft show in roundtop texas and trying to keep it altogether here at the farm at the same time.
right now i only have 2 days a week when i am not tending grandchildren. i have started teaching little olivia how to sew.....she is 4. am i a glutten for punishment or what?
love

thanks for the continued encouragement, kathie.
i am making some "postcards" and cards to take with me to roundtop in the fall. hopefully, they will be well received.
i love making all these things, and i do like being paid, it is hard to give up a paycheck after an illness, but all things happen as they should and if i werent a stay at home omie i wouldnt get to spend so much time with my grandkids.
sherri did a great trade with me, i got a jacket for my oldest granddaughter and another for the youngest. they arrived today, and it was like Christmas!
i hope more farmgirls will consider having cards made, as i would love to bartter for somethings, ie soap and knitted large outrageous socks for the winter.
love

thanks so much sherri for braggin on me. i had a great time making these tags and it forced me to learn some new skills on my computer that i was dragging my feet on.
i also loved doing the trade with you cause the jackets came this morning and they are wonderful.
wish i was closer and could join you at the craft show....and buy a hat and a quilt etc etc.
love
