Great work. I always feel like that this time of year, but find that,if like you,I start on the smallest, easiest tasks there's a great sense of accomplishment which then helps me move on to the bigger or more difficult tasks.

What a great start... I know I always feel better when I take a day to just clean up and put away "stuff" from (usually many) previous projects.
I have started cleaning out a closet this month that has been ignored for over a decade. I'm forcing myself to do this for 30 minutes once a week. It's amazing how much more room I have now.
I found two pairs of pants that I had started hemming and never finished. Once I did that, I had two new pairs of pants. I must admit that I would rather buy new pants that actually fit me rather than hemming... but where would one find those?

It's amazing that something that weighs so little feels so heavy on your back. And what a relief to get all of the little junks done. I've been wanting to replace a button on a shirt for months - so I move it from one pile to another. Finally bit the bullet and sewed on the button. I feel lighter already!
Congratulations on lightening your load!

Have spent the last two days cleaning off my quilting table, which is nine feet square. I feel so much better. Have to start a quilt for our church raffle and now I feel more like getting at it. Also found a couple of missing rulers, a measuring tape, and a box of 2.5 by 4.5 quilt pieces. This snow storm we have been having in western NY is keeping me housebound, but I guess it is a blessing in disguise.

Congratulations on finishing those UFO's. I'm in the middle of making an applique and pieced baby block; you'd think that having made one in a full size quilt for our DGD, that I wouldn't make another one, but I am. This one, however, is a much smaller quilt and I'm eliminating the dragonflies, only leaving flowers, hearts, pinwheel blocks and last but not least, 2 variations of applique butterflies. I know, glutton for punishment, however, this is for the DGD of a dear friend, and we have been friends since before her son was born, then Alyssa came along; she's a real sweetheart, so I feel I should make her a special quilt. Besides, I had the strips all ready sewn and ready for the appliques, plus the squares were cut for the pinwheel blocks, so about half the work is already done.
