Primitive Scrappy Birds!

These sweet birds are now finished! I am adding them to my etsy shop today. A few are already there to purchase.

Stop in at my etsy shop here Rock River Stitches to see them!
They stand 5" tall and are 7" long. They stand on cute rusty wire legs. Love creating these guys from the huge lot of fabric scraps and vintage lace. Their beaks are from a whittled twig. Perfect I think!

I still have several Halloween items that can be purchased! I always get my orders out the same day or next day after purchasing.

Among the Halloween are these birds! Seems today's post is all about Birds! Which I adore!

Check my Etsy shop for them as well!

Happy Monday my friends!

Primitive Snowman & Tree Make Do

I know I've haven't been around lately. I am so busy with filling orders, which I think I finally caught up and getting ready for Christmas! I made two sets of these Snowman and Tree Make Do's and have one left.

This Snowman Tree Make Do Set is still available in my etsy shop --> HERE

And I have a few new Primitive Photo Glass Tile Pendants in my other etsy shop!

You can find them in my Red Oak Images Shop --> HERE

I still haven't gotten all my decorating done. Trying to juggle that, Christmas shopping for family and both of my daughters birthdays are this month too! Plus I have to get all that done before Dec. 21st as my daughter and family are arriving for a visit!! So excited to see them! Miss the grands so darn much! So if you don't hear from me in the next couple of weeks you will know why.

Last week I made a trip to the Vander Veer Park Conservatory to see their Christmas display. Here are a few shots!

Back to work now....Blessings and Happy Holidays to all my blogging friends!

Never Enough Hours in a Day

Sometimes I think I have have to many projects going at the same time, but I love it! I have so many ideas on what project to do next that I think I better start writing this stuff down. So this is why I feel there are never enough hours in a day to do everything I want to do.

I did take some relaxation time this evening, sitting out on our deck. It seems every time I sit out there I find some wildlife to capture a shot of. I was watching this little baby bunny hop around my neighbors backyard. He had to be no more then 6" long. Pretty soon it was in our yard. It ran up close to the side of our house where the grass doesn't grow and rolled around in the dirt taking a dirt bath. It was so cute!

Awww wildlife

Last evening a deer strolled into the very same neighbors back yard where he has all his bird feeders and chewed up his thistle feeder sock right before my eyes. In one minute it was all gone! I did take a picture but they didn't turn out very well.  

I'm so glad to have all my flowers planted and also glad that we finally got a good amount of rain on Monday evening. It helps to not have to water everyday! Here's a shot of my Gerbera Daisies after our rain storm.

I just love these flowers and they always do so well for me!

And here is another daisy type flower called a Gazania

They come in all different colors!

On Sunday Hubby and I went on a motorcycle ride along the Mississippi River and found several families of geese!

It was so hot that day, 93º! All the geese were sitting in the shade.

And I captured this sweet shot of one of the goslings!! Isn't he so cute!

And today I found juvenile mourning dove sitting on the railing of our deck. He was eyeing the bird feeder above.

Haven't been doing to much sewing lately because I've been working on a new project for my new photography etsy shop, Red Oak Images

Glass Tile Photo Pendants made with my photos!!!

This is what I've made so far and have more in the works to be listed in a week or so.

I'll be having some primitive pendants too!!!

I must get to bed now...I've been sleeping a little better lately. Still wake up with those darn hot flashes!!! grrrrr
