Life is starting to repeat itself. I now spend some afternoons making animals out of playdoh.
I have been working on this list off and on for a few weeks. A 30 by 30 list is by no stretch of the imagination a new idea. But it seemed like something fun to take a crack at. I don’t have it entirely done, but I may as well get it up now since procrastination seems to win with me regularly. So here is what I have so far for things I want to have done by 30…
- Go to the west coast and ideally see the ocean.
- Get the main floor of my house decorated. That includes putting up curtains, getting new furniture and hanging art.
- My craft room needs serious pimping out. I want to make it comfy and well-lit and 100% functional.
- Figure out how to utilize all my garden space.
- Frame and hang ALL of my art collection.
- Master budgeting. I am in decent control of my cash, but I could do even better.
- Get my garage in order and install some awesome work areas and storage.
- Make a perfect chocolate souffle.
- Get really good at spinning yarn.
- Get plans and budget done for the basement. It would take an act of god to actually get it DONE in the next two years.
- Make a necklace out of some sapphires my husband and I panned.
- I want to do a Christmas that is 100% handmade and thrifted. My exceptions of course are any materials that lead to someone else crafting/sewing/baking, etc.
- Tattoo designs for my husband and I done.
- Make GOOD cheese. Something softer and flavorful.
- Try canning.
- Go to Yellowstone Park.
- Make a few articles of clothing for myself.
- Teach a visual journaling workshop.
- Try knitting again.
- Get into a habit of regular exercise.
- Learn to drive a stick shift.
- Learn to play something — anything — on guitar.
- Get my art into some sort of public forum besides my blog. Either a gallery or a magazine.
- See the northern lights again.
- Attend the festival of colors.
So I still have a few spots to fill in, but I feel pretty good about it. If I know me at all, I will think of more stuff later. I am hoping, just as with my crafting, just sharing this will give me something resembling motivation. Seems as good a way as any to wrap up the weekend. See you all again tomorrow for some more progress shots on my painting.
