The Missus Unflagging Crocheting Efforts As Betsy Ross Incarnate

The missus unflagging crocheting efforts as Betsy Ross incarnate With needle in hand incorporating love in every single crochet stitch that's my wife tad more'n a quarter century ago then newlywed to yours truly slowly, magically but inexorably transforming skein of yarn into requested end product of her tastefully done choice. Eventual inchoate objective will become transformed into miniature flag of Puerto Rico (regarding country of origin the eldest daughter beau hearily hails from), and Ukraine, the father/motherland ancestry of mine and the wife. While attuned to relaxing ethereal new age music dexterous hands affixed with her stubby fingers automatically, instinctively, and reflexively thread the needle (also called hook) creating linkedin loops. Daughters of American Revolution will come knocking on our door brandishing gobs of greenbacks enticing, jump/kickstarting, and rocketing yours truly and the spouse out the clutches of indigence, where figurative klieg lights shone fifteen minutes of fame upon the occupants housed in apartment unit b44 here at highland manor apartments. Sudden fame and fortune allowed, enabled, and provided us to live the life of Riley, where former woes of pennilessness generated cottage industries challenging established premise beloved national myth holds that Philadelphia upholsterer helped design and stitch emblem of the United States, Ross’s involvement in history of American flag widely regarded as apocryphal. I present the first of two more likely personages, either and/or contributions from both can rightfully lay claim as true artisan, and thus both necessitate further scrutiny, albeit however brief. Herewith I tout alternative prospect number one named Francis Hopkinson, a patriot and naval flag designer who signed the Declaration of Independence and briefly represented New Jersey in the Continental Congress In 1780, he billed the Continental Congress for designing the Great Seal and “the flag of the United States of America." Serious contender number two encompasses Mary Young Pickersgill, a Philadelphia upholsterer, she got paid to sew a flag during a military campaign namely during the War of 1812, which creation flew over Baltimore’s Fort McHenry when British troops attacked in September 1814 and memorialized by poet Francis Scott Key as “the star-spangled banner.”
