Some things Old, Some things New, and Most are Red, White, and Blue

Hello Everyone, friends, readers, and recent followers, 

Happy 4th of July.

 I hope you all have kicked off to a good summer.  I don't know what your temperature is like where you are, but it is awfully hot in this desert.  Good Lord!  We had a few minutes of rain on Friday and I sat on my patio smelling and listening to the rain.  It was refreshing especially after running errands getting beat up by the heat and the sun all day on Friday.

Since my last post, Yes! indeed, my busy drill continues.  and I shall spear you of those monotonous details. Ho hum, ho hum, ya di ya di da... and so on....

First, I cannot go on without saying "Thank you" again for all of your kind and appreciative comments on my last post.  I must continually tell you again, how much I appreciate them.

Well, here we are on Independence Day, and I want to give a shout to all service members, veterans and their families a big "Thank you" for their sacrifice and service.  I go to church with these humble souls and see them about on the roads traveling to and from training a lot of times before the sun comes up and long after the sun goes down.

Hmmmm.  God loves soldiers.  So as in that old adage go,4

If you love your freedom, Thank a soldier.

Alright.  Moving on.  Some things Old. 

While looking through some drawers, I found some unfinished things, and thought I would put a few finishes to them.

Wash Lady by Green Apple

My Wash Lady is finished in a thrift store find frame and repainted to give her a little prim look. This will hang in my washroom.

Cedar Hill


The Crowlines will be hung in my washroom also.

 Glory Bee (freebie) is finished as a flat fold with an added hangar so that I have the option to to hang it on the wall also.

Hearts for America (freebie)
Shepherd's Bush

I cannot begin to tell you how long Hearts for America has been sitting.

Some things New and these are my latest finishes to fill my summer/patriotic basket

Summer
Blueladie Designs

 Summer by Blueladie Designs is finished as a little pillow.  Just too cute and so quick to stitch.


Freedom
Blueladie Designs

Freedom by Blueladie Designs is also finished as a pillow for my summer/patriotic basket.  You all know how much I love fabric and this one was a very nice accent for this finish.



Bless Our Home
Country Cottage Needlework's

Another challenge piece finished. Woot! Woot! 

I cannot believe I added this one to my challenge list.  It only had about 14 stitches in it.  It should have been more so of a newly started project because I frogged the stitches and restarted it.  Well she is done with a few changes.  



Celebrate the 4th (freebie)
Glory Bee Designs


And...  Working right up to "press time", LOL, I was able to get this one stitched, but not into a finished.

And.  That's all.  Hope you saw something you like.

Wishing you all a Happy and safe 4th of July.

Be Safe and "Enjoi".

Always.
