Good Monday Morning Everyone! It’s going to be a busy week here on Super Mom – No Cape! I’ve got two beautiful 4th of July inspired projects to share with you. And that’s in addition to today’s lovely vintage Workbasket pattern. For those unfamiliar with US history, the story goes that in 1776, Betsy Ross was commissioned to sew…

Happy First Day of Summer!! One of the things that I look forward to each summer is attending the different fireworks displays. With Canada Day coming up on July 1st and Independence Day on July 4th, not to mention all the county and provincial/state fairs… there will be lots of opportunities to attend fireworks celebrations. To get those celebrations started,…

Here in Canada, we have a long weekend so… Happy Victoria Day to all my Canadian readers! Next Monday is the Memorial Day long weekend in the United States.
