I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT MAY BUT AN EVEN BETTER JUNE!
I HAVE SO MUCH PLANNED FOR TOPSTITCH THIS MONTH AND I HOPE YOU WILL JOIN ME DAILY FOR
MILITARY MONDAY
TYSON TUESDAY
WEB CRAWLER WEDNESDAY
THANK YOU THURSDAY
FLICKR FRIDAY
GIVEAWAYS AND TUTORIALS.

I’VE HAD A LOT TO DEAL WITH THE PAST FEW MONTHS.
SEWING HASN’T BEEN MY FOCUS LIKE IT SHOULD BE.
ERICA AND I DECIDED TO MOTIVATE EACH OTHER. I’VE NEEDED MOTIVATION AND SHE’S HELPED ME.
HERE IS MY TOPSTITCH TO DO LIST, THAT I’VE HAD FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

I FINALLY SAT DOWN AT MY MACHINE AND DID SOME SEWING.
MADE SOME POCKET PRAYER QUILTS FOR TERRILYN

HERE IS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE WHEN FINISHED

MAKING ONE FOR MARILLA SO SHE CAN PRAY TO THE CUPCAKE GODS LOL

AREN’T THESE SO CUTE!!!
I HAD BEEN USING THEM FOR BRACELETS
BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD LOOK CUTE ON THESE POCKET PRAYER QUILTS TOO.

HAPPY WEEKEND!!!

HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT WEEK

LAST WEEKS THANK YOU THURSDAY WAS FOR MARILLA AND THIS WEEKS IS FOR HER MOM.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH TERRILYN
THANKS FOR ALWAYS HAVING ENCOURAGING WORDS WHEN I HAVE NEEDED THEM. THANKS TELLING ME EXACTLY WHAT I’VE NEEDED TO HEAR WHEN I’VE WANTED TO QUIT THIS ALL. THANKS FOR LOVING MY BABY BOY AND MOST IMPORTANT THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR AMAZING DAUGHTER WITH US. YOU FOUGHT AND BEAT BREAST CANCER AND THAT GIVES ME STRENGTH TO FIGHT AND BEAT ANYTHING LIFE THROWS AT ME. THANKS FOR BEING AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND TO SO MANY OTHER WOMEN.

PLEASE DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME BECAUSE WITH PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN MY LIFE, I WILL ALWAYS BE GOOD.

THANKS FOR BEING IN MY LIFE AND ALLOWING ME IN YOURS.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU APPRECIATE AND THANK YOUR FRIENDS DAILY!

I AM JUST LOVING FLICKR FRIDAY EVERYDAY AREN’T I LOL
NO WEB CRAWLER WEDNESDAY TODAY. I DECIDED TO SHARE MORE PICTURES WITH YOU.

HERE ARE SOME MORE FROM SAN DIEGO

LOVE MY NEW BRACELET

BEST BLOODY MARY I’VE EVER HAD

CANSTRUCTION

I’M ALWAYS FINDING KIDS SHOES LOL

ALWAYS SAD TO LEAVE SAN DIEGO

HE LOOKS GRUMPY BUT HE WAS SENDING ALL HIS LOVE TO OUR FRIEND CARMEN.
HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER HONEYGIRL

WHILE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY IS

EATING THEIR STEAK

WHAT?!

DRINKING THEIR BEER

WHAT?!

EATING THEIR APPLE PIE

WHAT?!

ONLY WRESTLING FANS WILL UNDERSTAND THAT LOL

I HAVE BEEN BUSY SEWING AND TRYING TO GET THIS LITTLE GUY TO WEAR HIS MEMORIAL DAY TIE.
HE’S BEING A BRAT AND WON’T LET ME PUT IT ON HIS COLLAR.

SO THIS PICTURE IS FROM LAST YEAR.
TYSON WANTS EVERYBODY TO KNOW HE SUPPORTS OUR MILITARY.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYBODY.

FROM THANK YOU THURSDAY TO GIVEAWAYS I HAVE SOME FUN STUFF PLANNED FOR JUNE! SO MAKE SURE YOU COME VISIT MY SITE OFTEN.

IT’S SUCH A SHAME THAT THIS IS WHAT MEMORIAL DAY HAS BECOME

THE SALES, THE BBQ’S AND THE PARTIES.
I NEVER HEAR ANYBODY TALKING ABOUT REMEMBERING OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS.
MAKES ME SAD THAT PEOPLE JUST DON’T CARE ANYMORE. OR DID THEY EVER?
MAKES ME SAD THAT THE MEMORY OF THESE SOLDIERS SOMETIMES DOESN’T LIVE ON.

ALL MY LOVE TO THE FRIENDS AND FAMILIES OF OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS.

I SPENT THE DAY WITH THE COUSIN YESTERDAY.

IT’S STILL SO HARD FOR ME TO COME TO TERMS WITH HIS DEATH. FOR SO MANY REASONS.
MY HEART IS STILL BROKEN. I STILL FEEL LIKE THEY JUST TOLD ME THE NEWS.
I CAN’T LISTEN TO THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WITHOUT CRYING.

THEY PROMISED ME IT WOULD GET EASIER, BUT EVERY SINGLE TIME ANOTHER SOLDIER DIES IT GET’S HARDER.
PLEASE HONOR OUR FALLEN HEROES TODAY AND ALWAYS.

THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO ANTONIO BUTCHER. I MISS YOU AND I HOPE YOU COME HOME SAFE.
