July festivities and such

Yay, it's July 1st! (well it was last night, when I wrote this post) Happy Canada Day, eh.....to all our Canadian family and friends. In our household we celebrate July 1st for Canada Day, and on July 4th for the American Independence day. In both Countries, there are lots of fireworks.........but I would venture to safely say that the fireworks are a much bigger deal down here. We go BIG, in the US, with fireworks.

Last week I made a fun little pillow for my mom and dad's 40th Anniversary! It's their house on the hill. This photo doesn't do the cute pillow justice......it's really cute in living color.

for mom and dad

and the backside................

If I saw this in living colour I'm sure it would knock my socks off because as it is I nearly fell off my chair I loved it so much!
