New Primitive Valentine Goodies!

I've managed to get a few new things created despite my on going neck problem. Still visiting my Chiro twice a week. Good thing I get free visits! My daughter is going to school at Palmer Chiropractic College which is about 10 minutes from my home. My chiro is a professor at the school and I get adjusted at the clinic which is part of the school. Family members adjustments are free the whole time that your family member is going to school. That means 3 years of free chiropractic care.

So anyway...here are a few things I have listed in my Rock River Stitches Etsy Shop.


I'm selling each one of these heart wall hangings separately. Click here ---> Heart Wall Hangings to see what I have for sale!

Also I have this wall hanging in my shop!


Last week I decided to go out looking for Bald Eagles as this time of the year we have hundreds of eagles that fly down from the north to stay for the winter. They fish out of the 2 big rivers that we have, the Mississippi River and the Rock River. I never get tired of seeing these magnificent birds when I'm out and about driving around the quad cities.


I shot this photo standing a little ways away and under the tree he was in. It was a windy day and you can see the wind "blowing through his hair" LOL It's always a memorable day for me when I can get a decent shot of one of these birds!

Quad Cities June 2008 Flood


<-----This picture here, is an ariel view that was in the newspaper.

I'm sure a lot of you have heard about the Mid West being flooded and that's where I'm at! I live in the northwest part of Illinois called the Quad Cities. It's right on the Iowa/Illinois border. Today I drove over to Davenport, the Iowa side, and walked up Centennial Bridge and got some amazing pictures!! The river crest yesterday at 21.5 feet and very slowly going down today. It's the 5th highest in history for our area. This is the second flood this year. We had one a couple of months ago in April which got up to, I think 16 feet.

I made a slideshow of the pictures I took today if you want to take a look. Click on the link below. Enjoy the show!
