Birds of a Feather Flock to Together

Ever think about that phrase? It's like what we all are doing right now. I love creating these sweet birds. Perfect size to use up fabric scraps I have an abundance of! Many are made from fabric I bought many years ago. Wish some of the fabric was still available.

Birds are looking for their new forever home. They can be found in my Rock River Etsy Shop

My Lily of the Valley is starting to show off!

 And yesterday, in the mail I received some very special plants from a dear friend. I had mentioned I loved her pink Lily of the Valley in her Instagram post. And just like that, she said she would be happy to dig up some plants from her garden. I was beyond thrilled to receive them. 

Aren't they gorgeous! I am so grateful to have some very special friends on Instagram.

Well, that's all the news for now. I hope you are all having wonderful Spring weather!

Peace and Love to all!

 

Working on Fall Creations!

When July comes around, I'm always ready to start on Fall Home Decor! So I took a pattern from last year that I created and added a twist to these new pumpkins!

These 3 different sizes can be found in my Etsy Shop here -> Rock River Stitches

Yesterday morning Hubby and I visited a local Sunflower Farm! Something I've always wanted to do! This farm used to be a Strawberry picking farm. But this year they decided to plant Sunflowers. I was in heaven taking photos! Below are just a few of the tons of photos I took!

When you walked in between the rows of the sunflowers it was amazing how loud the bees were! Pollinators were certainly working hard in those fields!

Primitive Americana Birds

Soon the biggest holiday of the Summer will be here! Doesn't seem possible with the weather we have been having. So far very cool and rainy. I guess it's going to be one of those wet Summers.

I used to make many of these birds back when I started making primitives. Thought I would whip up a few patriotic birds for you!

I've made so many of these in the past that I could probably make them in my sleep! 

Sale going on in my photography Etsy Shop! Free Shipping on all photo prints! Head on over to my etsy shop here ---> Red Oak Images

I hope you will stop by and see my photo prints along with home decor pillows!

Have a wonderful day my friends!

Fall is starting to Show

Hello my friends! Super super busy, I have been! Pumpkins, Black Cats, Bats and Crows have been part of my working days. 

I've been having a great time creating these Pumpkins. It seems the grey blue pumpkins are very popular again this year!

 

 The Pumpkin in the front has sold, but I still have the blue grey one in the back still available in my etsy shop here Rock River Stitches

I always make a few of my Big Ole Crow Make Do this time of the year!

And this Angel Kitty is sure to make you smile. She is available in my Etsy as well.

My Hummingbird feeders are very busy this time of the year! They are filling up for the big trip south for the winter. Here is a juvenile male sitting in a branch by the feeder.

    Hope everyone is have wonderful cool temps like us. 

I must get back to working on a few orders now. So until next time! Peace and Love to All!

 I've been selling out of the banners as fast as I can make them! Should have two more banners available by the end of today! Hopefully!

And I just have to show you the most precious fawns we have had in our yard lately!

 Love seeing these little cuties every summer! They are attracted to the apple trees in my neighbors backyard. There are tons of apples that fall to the ground. So it's like a banquet for them!

That's all for now. Need to get back to work on those banners if I want to get them listed!
