Perfect Saturday!

Finally No Rain!! It's a gorgeous sunny Saturday! Hopefully my veggie garden can start to grow now. Heavens know that we have enough rain last week! 

I have 3 more of my Fine Art Photo Coin Purses listed in my Red Oak Images Etsy Shop!

These are so perfect for a Graduation gift, Birthday or even Bridesmaid gifts. And never too early to get started on your Christmas Shopping! Eeeks...Don't even want to think about that. LOL

I plan get be adding more of these sweet little purses as I get the fabric printed. You can find them here in my etsy shop ----> Etsy

Oh and have a new phone case now for all those Vintage Button Collectors and Ball Jar Lovers!

My cases come in all the iphones and Samsung Galaxy versions. I offer the Slim Case and the Tough Case which is very popular. Nice soft rubber around the inside of the case. Great for the person who is always dropping their phone! I have the tough case on my phone and LOVE it!

And in the Bird World around my house...I am so happy to see these Goldfinches with their bright yellow feathers now!

And a couple of weeks ago the Baltimore Orioles were here for just 4 short days. That's about how long they stay. They sure did gobble up my oranges, grape jelly and nectar!

Two of the most colorful birds around!!!!

~Happy Thanksgiving~

Wishing all my blog friends a very Happy Thanksgiving! And safe travels if you will be traveling this holiday season. I made 2 apple pies today and my house smells wonderful! I so can't wait to eat all the fixings tomorrow!!

Just wanted to post about another couple of Primitive Christmas dolls that I just listed in my Etsy Shop! Please visit here -----> Rock River Stitches

Every time I make one of these dolls I fall in love with them and want to keep them. But I then decide that I have to let them go.

Happy Labor Day!

We are finally getting our Summer heat. It seems Summer is way behind this year. Been mostly in the 90's all week. Had a record breaking temp the other day of 97º. 

Finally things have slowed down a little with the phone case whirlwind! I've been so busy with orders and such that I haven't had time to work on Halloween. The Blue Ball Jar phone case has been a HUGE hit! I have also added photo pillow cases to my Red Oak Images etsy shop. I don't have as many pillow cases as the phone case, so if you see a image on a phone case you like that you would like in a pillow case, just let me know. 

Pillow Cases come in 3 different sizes....16" X 16", 18" X 18" and 20" X 20"

 I'm getting requests for a few old primitive items that I had made years. Need to get cracking on those things. I picked up a old wool blanket at an estate sale a couple of weeks ago and thinking that would make some pretty cool primitive pumpkins. So Have that idea in my head right now. 

So that is what is been going on with me lately and trying to keep all my flowers alive with the awful heat we have been having. Every morning I'm outside watering! We need rain really bad. I think it's been about 3 weeks!!

Almost forgot to tell about my experience with growing potatoes!! Last fall I bought what is called a potato bag. You grow potatoes in a bag that is made of a porous fabric. I had never grown potatoes of any kind before. It was super easy! 

In the Spring I bought Red Pontiac seed potatoes. You cut potatoes up in cubes and make sure you have at least one eye on each. Fill your bag with about 4 inches of soil and place you seed potatoes in the bottom. Cover with a couple inches of soil. As the potatoes grow add more soil to the bag. They say every 8 inches of growth add soil. I had a little trouble with the deer eating the plants in the end of the growing season. We harvested the potatoes last Sunday and had about 5 pounds of taters!! Not bad I think for a beginner in a bag! LOL

Purchased my bag at Gardener's Supply Company  

Have a safe Labor Day Weekend my blogging friends!!!
