Isn’t God’s artistry perfect in every way?
Look at that rosebud. Have you ever seen anything more perfect and beautiful?
I’m sure we could all say yes but today, for today, this is His perfection. This and the ones we love so much.

When my youngest son decided to do over his room, part of his plan was to make and paint an American flag made of pallet wood. I know I’m partial, but I think he did an awesome job. It looks great on his wall. Frankly, I was a bit surprised at how well it turned out. I had not worked with pallet wood before, although I guess its not much different than just scrap wood like I use for a lot of my projects.
The real difference in the appearance was the fact that he just sanded off the high, splintery areas and after painting rubbed it with a nice dark stain. Once the stain went on, we stood back back and exclaimed, “Love it!”
Happy Independence Day!

Yes, it’s another painted flag with more yet to come later this week! Seems like I’m stuck on painted flags for this year’s 4th of July celebration.
I made this flag years ago out of used paint stir sticks. After their intended use, I sanded off the blobs of old paint just enough to make them smooth and painted them with craft paint. I used six sticks for the flag itself, broke another in half and hot glued those pieces vertically across the back to hold everything in place. Then I drilled two small holes at the top and ran a small wire through for the hanger. The little jute rope with wooden hearts came wrapped around some stationary. Nothing goes to waste around here!
See you tomorrow for more patriotic inspiration! God bless America!

In honor of the upcoming Independence Day holiday, let’s celebrate with a weeks worth of patriotic inspiration. I’m getting a little scrappy for today’s project – as in scrap wood, fabric scraps, and some leftover (aka scrap) paint.
I came across a square piece of plywood in my wood pile that I painted blue and stamped with some stars in white. I drilled a few small holes across the bottom of the wood, tore some red and white fabric scraps to length and inserted them through the drilled holes affixing with a lark’s head knot. I drilled a couple of larger holes at the top corners and fed a piece of rope through knotting it in the front to use as a hanger. Done. Quick and easy.
Join me again tomorrow for another easy project. Happy Birthday, America!!!
