Happy 4th of July

It’s Independence Day, 2022!

I haven’t tatted anything new this year for the occasion, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been enjoying the season.

Last year I made a runner for my daughter that I was unable to get to her by the 4th of July or her birthday. It was eventually delivered in November in time for Veteran’s Day. She was able to use it this year for Independence Day. She loves decorating for this holiday.

She does such a great job of making her house look festive!

It’s amazing where you find people showing their patriotism. A local farmer showed his 4th of July spirit with these large hay bales.

My dog also dressed for the occasion.

We celebrated the holiday at my daughter’s house last night with family and friends, tonight we’ll do it a bit more locally. We celebrate and thank all of those that have fought for the freedoms we have.

Today I’m packing for our trip to Indiana tomorrow. I’m going to Tatting Corner’s “Artful Tatting” Tat Days at the end of the week. My husband took vacation so he could come with me. Looking forward to seeing all those fellow tatters!

May you all have a happy and safe Independence Day.
