New Primitive Valentine Goodies!

I've managed to get a few new things created despite my on going neck problem. Still visiting my Chiro twice a week. Good thing I get free visits! My daughter is going to school at Palmer Chiropractic College which is about 10 minutes from my home. My chiro is a professor at the school and I get adjusted at the clinic which is part of the school. Family members adjustments are free the whole time that your family member is going to school. That means 3 years of free chiropractic care.

So anyway...here are a few things I have listed in my Rock River Stitches Etsy Shop.


I'm selling each one of these heart wall hangings separately. Click here ---> Heart Wall Hangings to see what I have for sale!

Also I have this wall hanging in my shop!


Last week I decided to go out looking for Bald Eagles as this time of the year we have hundreds of eagles that fly down from the north to stay for the winter. They fish out of the 2 big rivers that we have, the Mississippi River and the Rock River. I never get tired of seeing these magnificent birds when I'm out and about driving around the quad cities.


I shot this photo standing a little ways away and under the tree he was in. It was a windy day and you can see the wind "blowing through his hair" LOL It's always a memorable day for me when I can get a decent shot of one of these birds!

A few days ago when we were getting a few snow flurries I thought I would try to take a picture of some snowflakes! I was amazed when they somewhat turned out!


Isn't this amazing!!



The first pic is my favorite!!!

Today I captured some winter shots by the Mississippi river.

Life is Good

Here are 3 more dress ornies I'm listing in my Etsy shop tonight. These are selling great!




Had such a fun day yesterday out on the Mississippi!! Got to walk through the ewwwy goooy as my sister calls it. On the bottom of the Mississippi is this very thick mud. Had to walk through it to get to the sand bar out in the middle of the river. We parked our lawn chairs out there, hung out with friends and just watched the world go by. It was a great 30th anniversary!




Planted my succulents this weekend into the 3 hypertufa pots that I made in April. Still waiting for my other pots to cure.

Beautiful Spring Day!!!

It got into the 60's today and just had to get out in it! First I went down to the Mississippi river to see what was happening. There were quite a few people down there feeding the ducks and geese. So I got a few pics of them. I should have brought some bread to feed them, then they would have gotten closer to me. Then headed to one of my favorite stores, Target to pick up a few needed things. Then to the grocery store for a few things, they were setting up their outside garden center!! That makes me happy. Then headed home and got a picture of a robin!!! Bought time I see one! He was in my neighbors backyard and he wouldn't come any closer, so its a tiny picture. Yay...spring is on its way!
