Tangled Stitch

American Flag Heart is a new addition to my Etsy shop. It is hand embroidery on tea stained muslin. This heart reminds me of my father who was a veteran who fought in the Korean War.  He overcame many obstacles and lived his own version of the American dream.   I do not think war is the answer still I am appreciative and grateful for all of the veterans and current unlisted servicemen serving our country.  There are many soldiers coming back today who cannot live the American dream and come back to homelessness and mental health issues.  Please donate or volunteer to welcome these men and women back to their lives and thank them for their sacrifices. A special shout out to my friends and family who have family members serving in the military.  They also sacrifice for our country and deserve our thanks.  Blessings.

I hope you have a wonderful memorial day weekend.  I will be thinking of my dad who served in Korea.  Please think of our current soldiers and the great sacrifice they and their families make every day in our name.  Whether you agree with the wars or not, the soldiers doing their jobs need our support.  Thank you to all of them, especially my cousin Gerard and my friend's son Brad.  Blessings and safe homecoming. I will be back on Tuesday with the piece I shared yesterday completed.  Have fun in the sun and enjoy your families.
