My friend Piper contacted me after the baby shower Jenna and I threw {seen here} to talk about the pennant flags we made and asked if I was interested in making some patriot themed pennant flags for Fourth of July. Without hesitation we made a date to meet at JoAnne's Fabric and then a few dates to work on these flag. Here's a peak at our trial run:
Seriously, so cute, right?!
So we spent one day cutting fabric and cutting fabric and cutting fabric. And then I remembered, "Oh yes, this is a very tedious job" :) So for our next date we realized that we needed to drink much more to help the process.
We divided and conquered to get the flags done. Here is Piper hard at work pinning, an action shot of me working the sewing machine, and I am so proud to say that we made the cutest flags, ever.
We took the time to seriously catch up, talk about life, being a nurse and an NP, being a wife, everything! Not to mention recapping our long history as friends. We first met because our husbands work together, and then Piper helped me get a job at the VA during nursing school. With our experience working at the VA, we share a special spot in our hearts for the US veterans that gave so much for our country, and the Fourth of July is a great oppotunity to be patriotic and thankful. Many hours, and many drinks, later, here is our finished project:
Just in time for the Olympic Trials!! Definitely a decoration to keep forever and bring out annually for years to come! USA! USA! :) Thanks Piper for the cute craft!
