The heart beats a little faster, the frown lines intensify, the tummy knots  and I’m aware that my head is throbbing due to  unfathonable  pressure.
I tell myself, don’t worry, but the body denies the fact.
It happens occasionally……..

Shipping books. 
Printing patterns, ordering pens and making sure everything arrives on time.
I have to have a good system in place to make it all run smoothly. BUT, you can never predict the weather and the suppliers inconsistency and sometimes my lack of filing.

Then again its all part of life on the road.
Washing your clothes by hand, sleeping in  numerous  beds and wrangling luggage.

On the other side is sheer joy, excitement, enthusiasm and passion and most days are the latter.
Today was exciting and I had the pleasure of visiting  the Zia Therapy Center and Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) center in Alamogordo. The staff are wonderful and  showed me around their  facility.
This year the funding from our Southern New Mexico Festival of Quilts will fund some of their programs.
The meet and greet was busy and lots of people signed up for the event…. wooow.

I don’t have any photos but I was followed around by the paparazzi and I’m sure I’ll have a record if I need it !!!!!

I’m packing for the next event in Mexico which will be AMAZING, I’m really thrilled to be sharing my love of San Miguel Allende with other quilters and my friends who live there.
