Still enjoying the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia? We're still watching at our house. (My husband is a professed Olympics Junkie. Seriously, he needs help.) Before we head full-throttle in to March, St. Patrick's Day and Spring, I thought I'd share some Americana themed afghans for your Olympic enjoyment. 

Happy 2014 Winter Olympics! And...Go Team!

Americana Projects For The 4th!

Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays. (I am very fond of fireworks.) I love the bright colors, picnics, parades and the smell of grilling in backyards. I love watching the look on my boys' faces as they watch the big and small fireworks alike.

I also like decorating for the 4th! Red, white and blue patterns and projects always get me in a cheery mood. I've collected some of my favorite ideas and free patterns to inspire you to add a little Americana flair to your home and holiday this Summer - Enjoy!

Memorial Day Crafts to Celebrate!

With Memorial Day this weekend, you may find you'd like to add a little patriotic flair to your home or front porch, just to mark the day or to show a little patriotism. You may think you don't have any time left to create something...but you do - a three-day weekend! And who wants to buy expensive decorations at the store? Not me.

I've put together a few simple crafts (with many more on the site for patriotic inspiration) that can be made from supplies and stuff you already have around the house or yard. And upcycling, or repurposing, forgotten boards or tins is a nice way to celebrate too.
