Americana Flag Banner

Hello! Feeling more and more like Summer here in the midwest! Makes me think of the upcoming holidays.

I recently listed a new Primitive Americana Flag Banner in my Etsy shop at Rock River Stitches! 

Easy and Fast to make! Pretty similar to the Halloween Banner I made last fall.

 

And I made a pattern if you are up to making your own Americana Banner! Also in my Etsy shop!

I like to spend a hour or two in my gardens each day. There's always weeds to pull :)

Both of my Clematis are Blooming! They keep getting bigger each year.

New In My Etsy!

Hello my blogger friends! Anyone out there? I find less and less people read or post on blogs anymore. What do you think? I can't stop posting as I feel I would let some faithful friends down with my updates. 

Anyway...Back when I first starting creating Primitive creations, I think around 2006, I kept probably way too many creations. I'm not sure this style of home decor is my thing anymore. So I've decided to let go some that I couldn't let go when I created them. I will slowly be adding them to my etsy shop.

The little Bunny was the very first rabbit doll I made, that lead to making a pattern for her, which I enlarged her size for the pattern. The Twig Chair is also included with her. I found that little gem at a thrift store. 

 

The cute bear was made with a pattern by Sweet Meadows Farm. I believe it was the only one I made and then I kept it for myself.

 So if you are interested in these cuties, they can be found in my etsy shop here---->

Have a wonderful Sunday! Spring is on it's way!
 

Primitive Dutch Bunny

Happy Monday! So happy for another sunny day! We will be warming up this week! So excitied for 60*

Thought I would share my new bunny design for this Spring! I have 2 available in my Etsy shop. Click my link here ---> Rock River Stitcheshttps://rockriverstitches.etsy.com 

I also added another bird to my Bird Photo Blocks Collection! How can you not love the bright beautiful blues of the Blue Jay!

 

 Each of my Bird Photos are framed with rustic birch bark. They come signed and dated on the back with a sawtooth hanger, if you wish to display on the wall.

Hope you will stop by my etsy shop to see my bird photos and other great home decor items!

Have a wonderful week my friends!

Peace and Love to All!

Ready for Spring!

I know...We still have many more weeks of Winter according to that ground hog. We are having a very snowy week so far. And more snow for Friday and Saturday! Most we have had all winter.

So I will just be happy with what ever weather we get. I do get some amazing photos in snowy weather though.

Here are a few sweet birdies that I recently made. Trying to get into Spring Mode!

The top left lighter colored bird has been sold. The other three are waiting for their forever homes :) They can be found in my etsy shop at Rock River Stitches 

I like to feed the Squirrels and Bluejays year round with peanuts in the shell. I'm always amazed at the Bluejays colors!

  
 Isn't he just gorgeous! I can always hear them up in the trees when they are close by waiting for their peanut breakfast. A very loud bird, indeed!

Have a wonderful day!!

 

Photo DIY

Hello Friends! Hope you all are staying warm in the coldest month of the year!

Thought I would share a few new things with you! First is a DIY I did this past summer and totally forgot to share with you all!

I Found this $2.00 very old frame at a repurpose shop that is close to where I live.  

Did a little sanding all over. Stapled some hardware cloth to the back and had hubby nail in a few wood strips over the stapled area. Neatness counts and also won't scratch the wall.
 

And then took tiny clothes pins to pin my photos to the front! And there you have it! How simple is that!

In other news....I've take a little break from sewing and working on some new photography ideas! 

These birds, are photos that I captured with my camera and then digitally enhanced. They are framed in a rustic birch bark.

These are just a few of the birds that I have to offer! 

They can stand up on their own on a shelf. Or if you would like to display them on a wall, I have added a metal sawtooth hanger on the back. Will come to you signed and dated on the back by me!
 

The Mr. and Mrs. Cardinals have been quite popular so far!
 

These sweet rustic bird photos are available in my etsy shop here ---> Rock River Stitches 

So that's what's been happening in my world lately! I'm working on a few more new ideas for the Spring! Stayed Tuned!

Peace and Love to All!
