I spent all my sewing time yesterday working on a card – one card – and I didn’t get it finished until this morning. I now have two cards finished and waiting for the binding – I’ll stitch that on this afternoon before supper. I realized the third January card that I had on my list was for someone in the Guild and since I’m not joining them at the moment she will get an e-card this time around. Had I been going to Tuesday quilting I’d have taken both a card and a cake. In December I volunteered to take a cake for the January birthdays but it looks like it will be February before that happens.

I’ve finished all my shredding, at least this batch. No doubt (and I’m hopeful) Pat will clear out a few more boxes. I cleared out a couple more drawers this morning – mostly office-related items. I donated a few things, rearranged some others and cleared off half of a cabinet top. I have ideas now on some more rearranging I can do; I almost look forward to these decluttering tasks.

My cleaning task for the day was to work in the kitchen/living room. I’ve kept at that task every week this month so I gave myself a bit of a break and did some baking. I made Mum’s Wonder Bar recipe. I didn’t have enough icing sugar for the icing but with the sweetness of the cake and the coconut topping I don’t think we’ll miss it. I cleaned up my mess, did the dishes and swept up the floor when I finished so I think that counts.

Now, back to those cards.
