Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? I’m not exactly a ‘goal setter.’ I’m more of a ‘list maker.’ The lists contain projects or activities I’d like to accomplish. To be honest, if you looked at one of my daily lists, it will always begin with “Get Up!” This way I start my day crossing off an item on my list.
So the last week of December, I’ve been making various lists. Some have been about sewing or quilting, while others cover aspects of my life such as exercise/diet, housework or activities.
It is hard to believe that 2018 is coming to an end. This weekend Christmas decorations will be taken down and packed away until next December. Can you even believe that I’ve started organizing/gathering information for working on our Federal/State Income Taxes??
In a post last month I listed some other projects I wanted to finish in November.
## From My Carolina Home’s Autumn Jubilee Projects – Pumpkin Blocks & Star Blocks for a Table Runner or Small Quilt (haven’t decided) and Pumpkin Placemats — I did get fabric chosen (often a hard part for me) and cut pieces, but just have them in plastic bags for later assembly.
I try to cook using more fresh, than processed foods. Yes, I still use short-cuts, but I do like cooking from scratch. I read a hint somewhere to begin your grocery shopping in the produce section and you’ll fill up your cart with good, fresh food and less processed food. The hint continued to suggest shopping only on the outer edges of the store. OK, I still shop the inner grocery store isles, but my cart is filled with the good stuff first.
A while ago I heard about Imperfect Produce. They deliver to your home produce which is good produce but may be a bit misshapen or was overages and not sold at the grocery store. At the same time, they help support food banks. Read more about them at their website. Last week I saw that they are now available in Maryland in the Baltimore & Montgomery County area. I checked online and they deliver to my zip code on Tuesdays.
