New Goodies for Sale!

 Can't believe that it has been over a month since my last post!! I have a few new items to share with you. First off I have a new primitive crow coin purse that will be listed in my Rock River Stitches Etsy Shop tonight. Giving you a little sneak peak!!

I'm working on a couple more purses right now. Hope to have them listed soon. If you have any ideas in a type of coin purse that you would be interested in, post a comment and I'll see what I can do. I'm up for ideas!

Also in my other etsy shop Red Oak Images I have new heart shaped glass photo pendant necklaces!!

Here are a few I have listed among others right now.

And I would like to share a few photos I took in North Carolina while visiting my daughter and family. 

These snow shots were taken one morning. Huge flakes fell for about a half hour. It was just beautiful! Then it warmed up and all of it melted away. The third shot is looking out my daughters living room window. Don't know if you can see the train going by. You can barely see it's headlight. 

Then hubby and I ventured out to Lake Junaluska, which is down the road aways from my daughters house. 

Lots of Ducks and Geese there.

I loved this goose! Thought it was beautifully marked!

These little birds were so cute!! They are American Coots. They weren't afraid of you at all. 

I just couldn't get over how different and cute their little feet were! They swam just like ducks in the water.

And my daughter is lucky to have bluebirds around her house. Something I don't have.

Then my son in law took hubby and I to meet Tom MacDonald. He was on one of the American Picker's episodes. He and his family of 7 kids live in a old motel that they have fixed up. He finds and collects old motorcycles and parts. His kids help him sell the parts on ebay. Tom sold an old samurai outfit to Mike and Frank on the episode of American Pickers. Tom is a friend and patient of my son in law who is a chiropractor.  My hubby was so excited to meet this guy! Hubby loves motorcycles. 

Tom on the left, Hubby on the right. Tom was a very interesting character for sure!! He had to show us his recording studio that he turned a couple of the motel rooms into. And he even played a recording of one of the songs that will be on his new album. Very interesting guy!

This is a photo of one of the old barns that is down the road from where my daughter lives. 

Then on the way home in the car, I got bored and started taking pictures through the car window. I had no idea if they would turn out or not going 70mph. LOL But some of them did like these horses in the field in Kentucky.

And this old Barn. 

So I guess that's about it for now. I promise I won't be a stranger for so long again. 

Thinking of Spring while the Snow is Flying!

I started thinking a couple of days ago about Spring, with this warmer then usual Winter. So I listed this sweet goose doll last night.

She is made with a pattern by Doreen Frost who is a most talented artist!

This morning woke up to a blanket of ice and snow. Now it's all snow as the temp has been dropping since this morning.

Captured some more shots of the snowflakes!!

These two pics were from this morning when it was more ice then snow that was falling.

And.....then a few hours later when the temperature begin to drop

I took these shots! You can see that they are a more formed snowflake now!

I'm having so much fun with my camera! OK...time to get back to my sewing!

Vintage Look Bottle Brush Tree's

Had fun making these little trees yesterday! I wrote a tutorial on how to make these last year here. This year I made them a little different with painting them and attaching them to old wooden blocks. I really like the look I've achieved!!

I am now done creating items to sell for Christmas. I have my last Snowman & Tree Make Do set on ebay and my last 3 Tree's Make Do's there as well.

The other day we received a little dusting of snow and are expecting more tonight. I think around a inch or so. Here are a few photos I took.

Perfect little bird prints! Love it!

My watering cans Winter spot.

Last few leaves on the driveway.

My favorite Big Oak Tree Trunk in the backyard.

Have a wonderful Thursday evening!

Winter Wonderland

Woke up today to more snow. So far about 5 inches and still coming down. Here is a black squirrel trying to find some breakfast among all the snow. Then later in the day looked out and saw a dove resting in the snow.
