Happy Hands passing on happy news! Miki, WAHOO!!!

Hi, Friends! This week I started a new job and this photo is how my partner and I opened up the orientation when asked to draw what it means to work as a team.....Joy and good spirits in the workplace can be contagious and when passed on, healing and fulfillment are the fun bug. Today a smiley face is for you, MIKI, for winning the menu giveaway. Thank you all for playing along! "YES!"....A favorite word of mine. Since making this a mantra of mine as a mom and individual, I have come to enjoy the pleasures and opps that would not have been mine if I had said NO. And if a NO is necessary, how about presenting choices instead. An amazing tool I have used over the years in my career and in my home. It works to take out the power struggles. A little art card for a neat woman who caved when a community of friends told her, "Why not say YES!?" Studying this wood grain for the quilting of my modern poppy quilt that I finished months ago and Roxy has been begging to quilt. It will be shipped to Costa Rica and I am realizing how many WIP I have.....and now a new job....Breathe in and breathe out, Em..... And of course a new project is always brewing....In this case it will be a collaboration with Sean. He chose the Tula Pink fabric grouping and asked about the potential for a spider web design. Looking in a fav coloring book I found this pattern...Maybe? Love to you all on this Saturday and may you have a moment, an hour or a day or month of celebratoins!!! Em

Congratulations Em! I'm loving all the pictures of your new surroundings!
Can't wait to see what you and Sean are working on. Have a great weekend. We're off on a small vacation. It's much needed. My DH hasn't had any time off since last year for the reason I shared with you.

I love the spider web design you are looking at. Too cool! What book is that? That is so much better than the spider webs I did on my Ghastlies quilt!
