Holiday, Celebrate!

I made this blanket – there are two – stars and stripes. I’d really love to make a few more this summer for gifts, and perhaps make a sewing tutorial, I miss being behind my sewing machine so I need to set some time aside to get crafty again! I also miss being in my garden but that’s OK, sometimes seasons will force you to work on other things in life.

I have been spending so much great quality time with friends my heart is SO happy. Relationships are so important to me and every friend claims a piece of my heart that they’ll have forever. I was never blessed with a sister so I think of my girlfriends as my chosen sisters which works for me, I have a big happy family.

Switching topics, I have to share this adorable Target commercial featuring my dear sweetest friend Angel and her family about adoption:

Her little girl Olive is seriously one of the most beautiful little girls with such charm – Benjamin and I giggle and smile over Angel’s feed when we see her face, just precious! I love Angel so much and I love our Skype dates to catch up. She’s one of those friends I want to be more like, she’s everything good, joyful, and encouraging. I know I’d want to hang out with all the time if I lived by her – she’d get sick of me :)

I hope you spend this holiday weekend relaxing and doing whatever your soul needs – whether it’s some quiet alone time or with friends, Happy Fourth of July!
