The Fourth of July was traditionally celebrated as America’s birthday, but the idea of an annual day specifically celebrating the Flag is believed to have first originated in 1885… read more about it here.

This amazing canvas is a design by the collection! I am sure that your LNS would be happy to order it for you.

This is opening day at Petco Park 2015 as the flag is unfurled… I have seen this ceremony many times and it never gets old!

I am looking foward to June gloom going away. June gloom is the marine layer that is with us every morning and then burns off to blue sunny skies by noonish nornally. The only thing is it has NOT been burning off and it is cloudy and dreary and gloomy all day long and it has been that way for days or is it weeks now? I am tired of it and I want to see sunshine and blue skies!

I haven’t been stitching much these last few weeks and that really needs to change soon. My fingers are itching to pick up a needle and loose myself in my threads and canvas. I still have lots more pictures of stuff from market to share with you…soon! soon!

and until next time…keep on stitching
