Another Button Down Shirt for E

Hello Everyone,

I completed another button down shirt for E today. He is so excited and can't wait to wear it when it gets cooler out. I used the same pattern McCall #M4518 as I did for his first button down shirt.

When he saw this fabric he envisioned a button down shirt and lounge pants. Here is the link to lounge pants I did a while back.

I love this hounds tooth fabric and how he can wear it by itself, with a t-shirt or a turtle neck underneath. It will also look great with jeans and khakis. 

 

When I do this pattern again, I am going to make short sleeve versions for E and embroider on them. They will be perfect for when he plays out on stage!!

I am a co-host over at Sew Crafty Angel's Wake Up Wednesday's Linky Party. Please stop by this week and link up your latest creations!!

Have a great day and a great week!!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Hello Everyone,

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY AMERICA!!

Independence Day, commonly known as July 4th or the Fourth of July, commemorates the Continental Congress’ adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. The document, primarily written by Thomas Jefferson, served as a formal announcement that the 13 American colonies were no longer part of the British Empire and would henceforth be free and independent states. Regarded as the birthday of the United States of America, the day is typically celebrated with parades, fireworks, ceremonies, barbecues and family gatherings. The Fourth of July is America's birthday -- our most patriotic celebration. 

For Military families with loved ones serving abroad  it holds special meaning. To everyone who is currently serving and or a Veteran, I say "Thank you". Thank you for the sacrifices you have made in the past, for the sacrifices you are making now, or will make in the future. Without you, our country would not have such a history to be proud of and we would not be able to continue to make history.

You are among the bravest, most courageous, dedicated, compassionate and hard working people of our nation; you are the best of the best. On this Fourth of July, be proud, be proud of who you are, what you have done and what you do, and know that no matter what happens, America is behind you!

 

I am missing celebrating the 4th from our hometown, but we had a wonderful time this week at the local festival they had here on post. It is called the Wiesbaden German/American Friendship Fest.We had a great time with friends, music, eating, drinking and of course the rides.

Thank you E for keeping us safe and protecting our country and our freedom!! I love you and I am so very proud of you.

 

Have a wonderful day with your family and friends!! Be safe and make sure your pets are safe too!!
