It's common to hear that Monday's typically are not peoples most favorite day....
especially in the middle of winter!!
especially in the middle of winter!!
Of course .....I guess that depends on which clock you live by and what season you live in....
but wherever you are, I'm hoping to add some JOY to your day!!
I have a very special friend named JOY whom I met when I was just out of high school. I met her at a time when I was young, insecure, and thirsty for a great friend!! She embraced that need with open arms and has never let go!! She has laughed, wept, and shopped with me, eaten pizza, chocolates, and drank with me. She's listened to me, witnessed my wedding, loved my children, and what else does a good friend do....
she stitches with me!!!
She is my JOY of a friend! !!

While working on my project I thought a lot about how and what I see JOY in......
and how I can better share JOY with others.

I love hand dyed wools and wool applique!!
When I see it, touch it, and stitch with it,
it gives me JOY!!

"SO....with no further ADO....
Here is my little JOY banner for you"

This banner is super easy and doesn't take much time or wool at all!!
Make several of these banners and spread some JOY!
Now..... what better way to spread MORE JOY
around this season than to bake up some
Favorite Frosted Sugar Cookies,
package them up, and take them to a neighbor
(FAST....before you eat them all!!)
