Happy Memorial Day Weekend! This week's host is Jenny at Days of Chalk and Chocolate. I have to admit that I haven't posted too much lately, mostly because we are winding down our school year and between special events and sports games I just haven't been home!  But I managed to post my easy patriotic bunting project just in time for this holiday weekend. Thank you to everyone who linked up last week. Here are this week's features!

Memorial Day weekend is almost here. And while it is a solemn occasion, it is also a time to honor our country and its heroes.   Have you been getting into the spirit of the holiday with patriotic crafts?  I did! I created a quick and easy patriotic bunting but I used red, white, and blue in a more subtle way. This way, it doesn't scream "FLAG!" and I can use it throughout the summer!   I selected my fabrics and created a triangle template from cardboard. Then I traced each piece and cut each pennant with pinking shears.  I cut a long strip of fabric about an inch wide. I folded 1/2 " in on each side and pressed it down.

This week's host is:    Hi Everyone! What a week!!! Life seems to have gotten in the way of pretty much everything else this week. My mother is visiting for a month and landed up in the hospital. She's fine! But it's really changed the way we are living and working right now. I have unfinished projects everywhere inside and out. But life will return to normal as she heals and moves into a long term care facility nearby. So I really don't have much to share with you this week.    Before she went in the hospital, we enjoyed this rhubarb upside down cake one afternoon in the garden. I made it with Splenda as she is diabetic. But I wrote out the recipe for you with regular...
