January is the month of organization. Out with the old, in with the new.
We're a bit late removing our Christmas decorations. I started taking them down today. I'm going to need a step ladder to remove the wreaths around the carriage lights. It was easy to get them on, but it may be difficult to remove them. I plan to spend a few days in the basement repackaging the decorations and shelving them. I think this is the year that a number of things will finally be pitched out.
Yesterday, I prepared the binders for 2006 for our company. Tomorrow I'll have to type the file folder labels, and Monday I'll box up 2005 and start the filing for 2006.
I've also started sorting our personal papers. I won't have everything I need to do taxes until February, but there's no reason not to get a jump on gathering what is here in the house.
I suppose, in a way, that the loss of my stepson is affecting my need to be organized. When it's my time, I hope to make things easy on whoever has to speed my journey.
Last night I started hand sewing the binding on the batik quilt. Closure. I think this is as much about closure as it is about organization.
We, your readers, are breathlessly awaiting completion of your Batik quilt.
(GRINS) I have two and a half sides of it done (it's HUGE!). Perhaps during the dog show tonight I'll get a bit more done.
I worked on sample blocks for a quilt design that Elegante Mother might use for her only son's quilt, today. I'll take pictures. Maybe it will show up here one day.
If you keep giving me something to look forward to (breathlessly), I may not survive too much longer. Anxious to see your block sample of EM's quilt design.
