Reading on other blogs about progress made last year and plans for new year. I guess I will just renew the "goal" I decided on last year and the year before - FINISH MY UFOs!!!! Sigh. My sister and I are going to try to encourage each other to PRODUCE FINISHED PROJECTS this year. I could easily stay busy all year and not buy any new fabric or start any new projects. But I know me too well. I will not be able to resist something new.
This morning we had Christmas Danish for breakfast. I didn't get them made in time for Christmas morning, as is the custom. I found this recipe way back when I was in high school (think mid 1960s - gasp) and they have become a family favorite. The recipe was in a Fleichmann's recipe booklet that I sent off for. I lost the original book a few years ago (it was very ragged and stained) but was able to find another on Ebay. They take three days of prep and 3 sticks of butter, but they are so yummy! They practically melt in your mouth. Sheer bliss! The recipe makes 2 dozen, which means when family is all together, there are no leftovers. With just me and Cowboy, I am able to freeze them so we can enjoy them throughout the year. I freeze after shaping and before baking, as these really need to be eaten fresh out of the oven.
We spent New Year's Eve with Cowboy's family. A good night of games, food and chatting. We did manage to stay up until midnight, and slept in this morning til almost 9. Spending a quiet day today. Cowboy has the rest of the week off so maybe we will manage to get in a road trip or two.
Hope everyone has a healthy and happy year in 2013! I hope to post more often. Hmmm, that kinda sounded like a new year's resolution. lol

I'm thinking all quilters have the same goals and we always fail, which is totally fine with me. :) I love new fabric. But I am with you. I was thinking today I have a lot to bind, so I think I'll stick to that for awhile. Binding finished quilts.
Happy New Year
Three days & three quarters of a pound of butter they better be good, LOL. I usually make Cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning & they are pretty deadly, eggs. butter, sugar, nuts & then the cream cheese frosting. Only once a year!.
