Celebrating the USA – A Denim Banner

May 30, 2017 By Faith Leave a Comment

Today we celebrate Memorial Day – a day to honor our veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for love and freedom of country and countrymen.  Their bravery and courage have provided one of the greatest blessings one can have as an American.

As we begin a season of patriotic holidays, I thought I would make a simple applique banner to celebrate this great country.  I happened to have a little package of 5 denim pennant banners with grommets already in each corner, so I am going to make use of them.  You know my motto – if you’ve got it, use it!

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as He said.

Matthew 28: 5-6

What a glorious day to celebrate. He is risen indeed!

Halleljuah!!!

Wishing you Easter blessings, Faith

An Old Ornament Commemorates a New Year

January 2, 2016 By Faith Leave a Comment

Happy new year, friends, from long lost me. The holidays kicked in and this little space was left neglected. Truly I meant to visit here to show some Christmas around my house.

I got crazy busy with a commissioned sewing project (I’ll show you that later) and then a friend wanted me to make fifty two blackberry wine cakes for her clients for Christmas gifts. Yes, you read that right, 52 cakes that I baked over the course of two weekends.

This is only about half of the cakes piled on my dining room table!

My tree was up but sat there undecorated until December 21st, the first day of Christmas break from school. My mantle wasn’t decorated until Christmas Eve. All that baking, working my two part time jobs, sewing, shopping, and just life in general simply got the better of me.

But now that the holidays have come and passed, I feel much more relaxed and rested and wanted to pop in to say “Hi” and wish you all a very happy new year.

Dear hubby gave me this Radko ornament fifteen years ago. I collected Radko for a while and now you just don’t find them anymore except maybe on Ebay. I always loved them because of their old world look and brilliant color. I’ve got about ten of them and this one is my favorite.

Long May She Wave

“You’re a grand old flag,

You’re a high flying flag,

And forever in peace may you wave.

You’re an emblem of the land that I love,

The home of the free and the brave.

Ev’ry heart beats true,

‘Neath the Red, White, and Blue,

Where there’s never a boast or brag.

But should auld acquaintance be forgot,

Keep your eye on the grand old flag.”

Chorus from “You’re a Grand Old Flag” by George M. Cohan, published 1906

I wish everyone a safe, happy, and fun-filled 4th of July holiday as we celebrate the birth of our wonderful country.

God bless America!

xoxo, Faith
