Attention Deficit Disorder of the fibery variety and a recipe



I have been very busy this week.  My New Year's Resolutions contained things like:

1. Make gifty items throughout the year so that everyone had a knitted gift.
2. Revitalize the shop blog
3. Put items in the online shop so that my distant visitors could have access to their favorite things.
4. Organize the filing system.
5. Organize the desk so you can find the filing system.
6. Feed family nutritious meals while you are doing all of the above.

So this week I have started on some of those items.  The blog post is written as you must  be reading it right now.  The online store has items in it to create beautiful things no matter where you are in the universe.  We will send it to you pronto.  The knitting projects in progress are in evidence on my desk.  I can count 3 scarves, 2 seconds socks, and one dishcloth.  All small projects to be sure, but they meet the objective of working on gifty type items so that no one is left out by December.  My desk is still a heap but right now, I am saying that that is just how I work best.  All of the important stuff is there somewhere but it is hidden from those people who don't need to know.  My secret filing system is working.

The nutritious meals part of the goal is somewhat lacking.  The fridge is full of genuine food items.  The family got a good breakfast, but the regularity of meals made and eaten at the table is still slacking.  For the record, my youngest made a great fruit breakfast thingy this morning.  We are calling it Breakfast Ravioli.

2 crescent roll sheets, not the perforated ones
