I saw a flag quilt on Pinterest the other day and decided that I needed to make one! So I ran and got some fabric and put this together last night! It was really easy to make, but when I washed it to make it “rag” out, some of the fabric shrunk differently than the other and it came out a little bit crooked. I was just going to leave it, because it is just a seasonal decoration, but my OCD got the better part of me and I had to straightened it out! :)
Today’s thought is a patriotic one, just in time for our Nation’s Birthday.
I hope that we can all be thankful for the freedom that we enjoy. We live in a great country and I am so grateful for all those men and women who have given so much that we can still be free!
My thanks goes out to all of those that have served!

I have some exciting things coming to my blog soon, I am in the process of adding a shopping cart, so check back to see what fun things we’ll have!
Today I have my calendar ideas for March!
This was kind of a tricky month with both St. Patrick’s Day and Easter, so I just went with a general spring theme for the calendar and then made two printable magnets-one for St. Patrick’s Day and one for Easter! So you get a double bonus this month!
I have a fun treat for you to make for St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t really decorate or do a lot for this holiday, but this is a fun treat that you could make for FHE or just to be a kind little leprechaun and surprise your family!
Today I thought that I would just do a little roundup from last year of my St. Patrick’s day printables and recipes.
I am so grateful for your support and thank you for spending a little bit of your time with me!
I hope you have a Happy Day and can look forward to 2013 with great anticipation!
It seems like I have had a lot of sewing projects lately and I promise that there are only a couple of more to come!
I just get the sewing bug when it comes to Christmas! I like to make some of my Christmas gifts and of course I love sewing some fun quilts and pillows!
I am way excited about my project for today! I found this at a little boutique a few weeks ago, but you could totally make your own and it would not be very hard to do! I am in love with the concept of this banner!
So “Velcome” to my Lab!

Today is the first day of school here in our area and even though all of my kids are grown and out of the house, it is still a holiday! It was a tradition for me to call my sister on the first day of school every year and wish her a Happy Mother’s Day, because we had decided year’s ago that the first day back to school should be the “unofficial” Mother’s Day! You know that I am just kidding…kind of!
To help get all the grand kids off on a good start I made them all back-to-school boxes! Even though some of them are not in school yet, I couldn’t leave anyone out!

On the 4th of July I made this tart cherry limeade. It was so refreshing on a hot summer night. I just kept drinking it and could not get enough! I asked my husband on a scale of 1-10 what he would rate it and he gave it about an 8. I, on the other hand had to give it a 10! So either way, I guess you would have to say that it will be one of our new favorites in summer drinks!
