I made this flag quilt a couple of years ago. I usually hang it the first part of May in honor of Memorial Day. I finally got it hung on Saturday. I love it. It is so patriotic!!
I am trying to finish two pillows. The beehive on the left is for us, the one on the right is for Rebecca's teacher. She is in fourth grade, and they study Utah history. I have 12 school days to get it finished. I think I can do it!!
AHHHH---got to go yard saling on Saturday, for the first time this season. I found these cute boxes for $2.00. Had it been the end of the season I probably would have offered a $1.00!! They are cute though. Can't wait for next Saturday...
We actually spent about 5 hours working in the yard last Friday. Don't you just love the feeling that work gives? I do!! I'm trying to teach my girls how good that feeling is. They aren't quite ready to believe me---yet, but I'm sure one day they will. The yard is weed-free and looking good---for this week anyway!! Hope your day's plans are going well--if not, just go to PLAN B through Z, it always seems to work out just fine.
Be Nice to People,
Julie

Hi Julie,
Ah...yes, it seems like we've been going with plan Z lately! :)
I LOVE that flag wall hanging....you know my love for Americana, so I have to say it's my favorite next to your family one!
Your daughter's teacher is one lucky lady....I hope she appreciates what a thoughtful and time consuming gift she's giving! You're so sweet...but of course, you're always "nice to people"....that's Julie! :)
Have a great evening!

Life is always getting in the way over here. I love the flag. It would be hard for me to put it away as I would want to keep it up all year round. I LOVE the rooster boxes. They would go great in my kitchen. :)
Take care and have a wonderful holiday weekend,
Debbie

I'm glad to see that you've been finding some creative time amid the day-to-day busyness. Your flag and teacher gifts are spectacular as always.
Enjoy the chaos and stay flexible, my friend. We're rolling with the punches here as well...

Hey I made a quilt just like that almost! Love it. I need to get it out for Memorial Day.
I love that-stapling Jello to a tree---that is how life gets sometimes...... Seems to me you are a go-with-the-flow gal most of the time and that is key to sanity!!
