Before Christmas I was looking through the recipe drawer for my Tourtiere recipe – what a mess that drawer was. So I pulled out all the printed sheets and decided it was time to organize them into a binder. Many of the sheets were from Mum’s recipe book and several were print-outs from the internet or recipes I’ve had sent electronically from someone. I’ve been spending a bit of time every week getting the mess sorted out. While I’m at it I should be picking out a recipe or two to try because there are a lot of untested ones in the bunch.

I hadn’t updated my quilting binder for a long time. I printed some of the pages but they hadn’t been inserted into the book. I got my printing done at Staples so I always let the number of pages accumulate before I printed them. Thanks to Elizabeth I have my own colour printer now so it should be easier to keep up with them – particularly at the speed of which I manage a finish. I even found a few things that I hadn’t realized I didn’t have in the binder. I’m all caught up now, except for the projects that are still UFOs.

I’m continuing with my quilting today. I think I’ll be able to get the blocks quilted before supper but I’ll likely only make a start on the sashing and binding. Last night I added two more rounds on my tablecloth but I think I’ll still do another one. I might have been able to quit where I was but I found squares that I had made and tucked away in the bottom of the basket that I use beside my chair. I hate to waste them.

So not really resolutions, and nothing really done!
