Things have settled down now after the big Feature on Etsy a couple of weeks ago. I was crazy busy packing up sold items and answering emails. Even after my time was up for being featured, the sales kept coming in the rest of the week. I sold over 3/4 of the finished items I had made and tons of patterns! So now I am trying to build up the inventory in my shop for Christmas. I'm officially done with creating for Halloween. Here is my last Halloween item I finished the other day. It's now for sale in my shop.
It's made from a very old pattern of mine from 2008. I had only made one finished item back then and since then sold many of the pattern. To see this cutie go to my etsy shop here Rock River Stitches Etsy Shop
This sweet gal, I just listed today! She is available in my shop now.
I'm working on a few of my little scrappy birds right now. My last one sold during the feature. These are of past birds that have found their forever homes.
I believe the Fall Color around here is close to peak. Took a fantastic walk this morning in the fog and got some amazing photos!
And even found this spiderweb with dew on it!
I'm still mastering the skill in photographing spiderwebs. Very tricky.
Well that's all for now. Please stop back soon! I should have some of my birds ready!
Busy busy! I have a couple new Primitive Cat Dolls and a new pattern for my Primitive Pumpkin Pincushion! First...here are my new dolls now listed in my Etsy Shop! You can find them here ----> Rock River Stitches
Both of them are pretty large dolls measuring around 20" tall when upright.
This time of the year we get birds traveling through the midwest that aren't our normal neighbors. This little guy, the White Throated Sparrow has such a sweet song. A lot of the time you will hear them before you see them. They like to forge around under bushes. He was on our deck this morning picking up seeds from my bird feeders that the other birds knocked out.
Here is a little youtube clip of them singing.
The other bird I saw was a Rose-Breasted Grosbeck (female) which I didn't get a picture of. She was at my window feeder for a minute.
Here are some other birds that I captured today with my camera.
Caught him with his beak open. He was eating a sunflower seed.
I love these little birds! They are hard to get a picture of. They move around fast. He kind of blends in with his surroundings in this picture. He was in the shady area of our yard where the grass don't grow very well.
And this is a youtube video of what a Wood Thrush sounds like

My Bleeding Hearts are blooming!
And my Rhododendron's too!
I've been busy lately with custom orders. I've been selling lately on ebay and have found some new customers that way. These little make do's I just made for fun. I can't decide if I should sell them on ebay or etsy. I've got till Monday to figure it out, that's when I will have them up for sale.
Then a couple of weeks ago I was invited to sell my things as a guest at The Primitive Gathering this month!! Please stop by and see what I have for sale. Don't forget to check out the other wonderful artist there too! The Primitive Gathering
I have a new Lucy Angel Kitty for sale there.
That's all for now. Everyone have a wonderful Easter!!!!!!!!!!
