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!

 

Another Flock of Primitive Textile Birdies!

Just finished up another flock of my new birds! They are in my Etsy Shop waiting to fly to their new home!

The weather is certainly feeling like Summer around here lately (finally). Flowers are doing wonderful especially after the 3 1/2" of rain yesterday. I lost count on the many thunderstorms that passed through. Every time I got ready to go to the grocery store another storm was coming! So I put that shopping trip off till today. 

Gerbera Daisy just opening up!

The American Goldfinch birds love these flowers just a much as I do! I'm having a problem keeping them off the flowers. They like to pluck the petals off to get to the seeds from the center. They do the same thing to my Zinnia's. grrrrrr I would like to enjoy my daisies a little bit longer before the birds get to them.

*New* Primitive Scrappy Birds!

Look what just flew in! These birds are a new design for me! They have the most cutest rusty wire legs, I think. They all are for sale right now in my Etsy Shop

In other news, I saw the mama deer and baby that I saw a couple of weeks ago in my neighbors backyard. Little one sure has grown fast since I last saw it.

And look who landed on my deck railing the other day! It's a young male cardinal just getting his bright red feathers and black mask around his beak and eyes. 

Making this short for today. Will be listing more of my new primitive birds in the future posts.

28 years!

Today, I think I worked to hard in the yard. I am totally worn out and think I will feel the pain tomorrow for sure. Hubby and I made a trip to Lowe's today and bought 20 bags of mulch and got half of it in the gardens today. The rest I'll try to get done over the next couple of days. It sure was a beautiful day, bright and sunny and got up to 81º. Cooked a couple of pork chops on the grill for supper. They were so good! Yesterday was our 28th Wedding Anniversary. Can hardly believe it. Time sure does fly, and even faster the older you get! Why is that, anyway??? Who knows....Well we went out to eat last night at Red Lobster. Very Good I might say!

Here is a trio of my little birdies that I made last week and are listed on etsy right now!
