3 Cheers

 Despite the fact that fireworks 

and firecrackers were pretty much

finished last weekend,

I continue to look at the month of July

as the Red, White and Blue month.

That way I don't feel bad

finishing up this cute free embroidery pattern

from Crabapple Hill.

 I had taken the pattern and enlarged it,

did some coloring with crayons,

heat set the color, 

and finished up with the embroidery.

It became the perfect size for a 

small holiday pillow.

 (11" x 17")

 I decided it needed the rickrack to

frame the piece and, of course,

so many things look better with rickrack.

Don't you agree?

It was nice to have a smallish project to work on.

Something to pick up and work on and

relax with.

 We've had a rainy week 

here in colorful Colorado,

lots of welcomed rain and moisture.

And it's found me inside

busily sewing on a project that

I can show you next week.

 Let's just say, it's the kind of 

thing only a Nana would do

for her sweet grandkiddos.

Not necessarily smallish or relaxing.

 Until Next Time-
