Top on the list of things I intend to accomplish this year is making this quilt. It's all cut out and ready to go. No excuses.
There must also be at least a few tiny trees added to the pygmy forest before they go into hibernation until next December. This yarn will make a fine blue spruce.
Time must also be allotted for examining the leaf structure of the poinsettia on the dining room table. From all angles at all times of the day.
Really good corn muffins should be made in January because they go well with chili, split pea and barley soup, a bowl of cooked collard greens, and chicken and noodles. Versatility is but one of their virtues.
Use this recipe. It's perfect. Every. Single. Time.
I still do have a few New Years cards to mail out.
And the second those are signed and stamped, I will jump up and shout "TO THE QUILT", and bolt upstairs, to get at least one square made. That's all it will take. As soon as I do one, the rest will follow. Like dominoes.
The first square will be like the Chinese say: the first step in a 1000 mile journey.

Happy New Year Carol!
I like this part, a few days in when everything settles after the holiday pace. As always your photos are terrific, and the close up of the poinsettia is just stunning! ♥

Oh! I think I just heard the first little click-clacks of falling dominoes!

Haven't popped in and commented for a while. Loving the posts though. From knitted elves, to holiday cookies and photo ops, to candles and autumn leaves and cornbread. Thanks for sharing, as always. Happy New Year!

I don't leave comments too often, but I always enjoy your posts. I am always impressed at the number of things you do so well, and how fast you are able to accomplish them. The photos bring all these activities into perfect visual focus, and your sense of humor is a joy.
