The ground is still frozen so I couldn't get my "stick" to stand up, but my flag has the hopes of warm, sunny days ahead filled with sunshine and smiles. After making the front I thought I should have a playful back side to my flag seeing as that is the side I will see from my office each day.
I decided the back side should be winking...just to remind me of how much we love the warm summer days. I did blanket stitch around all the pieces of my sun to give it some interest, but honestly, I think to simply see the sun with a smile is just what my garden needs.
Thank you to Madame Samm and Thearica for cheering us on and Flags On A Stick and Flag Outlet for sponsoring our hop. Here are the rest of today's participants. Happy Hopping and Stitching!! --Kristen

Today has gone from one side of the spectrum (Texas wild flowers in 89 degree weather) to the ground in your part of the U S ...still frozen ! But at least you have that super cute flag to remind you of the summer fun that's on it's way !
HI Kristen Love the happy suns and so nice to see after the long winter thanks for sharing. Susie x
A winking sun....how cute!
A bright fun sun, shiny flag! And the wink is just too cute!
So sweet..That is sure to add cheerfulness where ever it flies!
Your flag really embodies the concept of simplicity -- and the old saying that "a picture is worth a thousand words." It brought a big smile to my face on this gray cold day, and the back widened it even more. Enjoy your great flag -- front and back.
How fun! My garden is still buried under 3 feet of snow, so I sure could use some sun smiling around here. The back of the flag is even better than the front!
I luv your shineshine...it makes me happy and the winking on the backside...too cute!! Great job Kristen!! Happy stitching, Pauline
How cute! I love the winking side!

Happy is right. I hope your flag warms up your part of the world. It should bring plenty smiles.

Your sun is so bright and cheery and love the little wink side. Just what is needed after such a long harsh winter.
Cute! I like the two sided idea. Great colors and a happy flag. Hope it warms up soon so you can get your stick settled in the ground.

So very bright and cheerful...that wink just made me smile.
What a cute idea to have your sun - winking. I love all the bright colors. Just what I need, too. Spring is on it's way but it's still tooo cold and windy - wind chill hasn't left the heartland, yet!
Very cute! I love Mr. Winking Sun!
Sorry, I've been trying to post from my laptop, and it just wouldn't let me. Glad I have one computer that works right.
How adorable - I love the two sides of the personality of the sun. I think we are all ready to see the playful sun for a change. However, I'm not ready for hot, hot, hot! Thanks for sharing for wonderful creation which will bring you smiles each day in your office.
Very cute suns. Especially the winking one. :)
