Independence Day...

Wishing all our northern neighbors...
Happy Canada Day!
and to all my fellow USA folk...
Happy 4th of July!!!
I hope all your travels and celebrations are safe
...good times shared with family and friends!
While I enjoy the parades, picnics and fireworks...I'm mindful of all my blessings...and my thoughts turn to those I know with heavy burdens...so many friends both near and far that are struggling with health issues...their own and of their loved ones...my thoughts and prayers continue to be with each of them...and also to those who are struggling with Mother Nature's extremes of fire and water.
My newest needle punched treasures just added to Early Work Mercantile...I hope you'll take a minute to click over and see all the artists offerings!
We do so appreciate your support!

The heat and humidity of the summer is definitely upon us...can you believe it is almost July?
This week's fabric contest at Spoonflower is "Stars and Stripes"...
My Indigo and Stars fabric is in the running...

I'm just thrilled with all my fabrics and can't wait to start offering them in pillows...sewing rolls and pinkeeps!
My friend, Robin over at Bird In The Hand Primitives has a sweet design in the contest, too. I'm sure she would appreciate your votes! It's her birthday on Sunday and she's also running a contest on her blog, click above on her name to check it out!

SEW excited...

Good Morning Dear Friends,
I hope you are enjoying a sun filled early summer morning! It's beautiful here...I love this time of year! Perhaps because Friday is my birthday...though I'm ready to stop counting...or maybe just because the daylight is long...the air is sweet...and so are the strawberries!!!
I'm excited to share my NEW fabrics with you...

I've been having so much fun playing with fabric designs...and have many more to finish, but for today it's back to the hooking frame.

I know of many of June birthdays...stop over and send your good wishes to Lori at HomeSpunPrims...it's her birthday today and she has lots to celebrate!!!
Wishing you all a sweet sunny day ~L
