God Bless America.

Ah, Memorial Day. The BBQs, cannon balls, and time spent with family. It's a great thing to have! I ran across this pin a few weeks ago but this weekend seemed like the perfect time to work on this project.


Love this as much as I do? You can purchase it in my Etsy shop here.

While working on this, I couldn't help but thinking about a man. A man that, unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet, but who made a big impact on my husband and his family. All I know about Kenny I learn from talking to his family and watching videos like this that his sister posts on Facebook. It seems he lived an incredible life and I'm sorry I was never able to meet him.



For your sacrifice, thank you Kenny.

Spring Chicks Cross Stitch

Last week I posted a then in-progress stitching. Today I am proud to reveal the finished product inspired by this pin!



I know I'm behind the eight ball on seasons here...but this cross stitch is by far my favorite to date. Baby chicks in bright spring-y colors always manage to make me smile.

A Stitched Way of Life

Lately Pinterest has become more like CrossStitchCentral for me.

I find myself going through phases. For two weeks I craved cheerios for breakfast. Then for two weeks all I wanted to do was cuddle in bed and read my KindleFire. After that, I spent every free moment creating our wedding scrapbook on Shutterfly. Lately, my obsession has become cross stitch.

I've already completed these three beauties...

 
...and I'm working on another.




To my Pinterest friends who don't stitch: I'm sorry for all the pins, but i don't plan on slowing down anytime soon. :)
