Last year I started making a list on my 31st birthday, of 32 things I wanted to do before I turned 32 (tomorrow). I have been revisiting the list over the past few weeks as my birthday approached and am, depending on when you ask me, both happy and sad about the things that I have completed & not completed off my list.
Here's my original list, with notes and additions in italics.
1. reupholster & refinish my blue side-of-the-road-find chair -I bought some County Fair home dec weight fabric for this chair and can't find it ANYWHERE in my house! It might have gone to Goodwill by accident. Will have to figure out what new fabric I want for it.
2.
3. make a quilt for our bed -this is in the works. I'm a commitment-phobe when it comes to a quilt that is going to live permanently on my bed!
4.
5.
6.
7. read the Harry Potter books -Nope, not my thing
8. blog the Encyclopedia of Me -Nope, still have this in the works, though
9.
10.
11.
12.
13. buy myself a new camera -Nope
14. finish Mason's quilt -Sadly, not yet
15.
16. own a complete 1/2 yard set of Katie Jump Rope -So close!
17.
18. make the book of Grahm's Weeklies -Nope
19.
20. make Marc a quilt -In the works! Bought a fat quarter stack of fabrics for it
21.
22.
23.
24.
25.
26. read The Lost Encyclopedia -Not yet
27.
28.
29.
30.
31. host book club at my house -No. My poor book club, I keep having Quilt Guild fall on the same night
32. take more pictures with my regular camera -Off and on I do
33.
So 21 out of 32 isn't too terribly bad. And some things I decided that I just didn't want to do or weren't a priority anymore. I think I will revisit this list and make a new list sometime next week, 33 things to do before I turn 33 :]




I love the idea of a list like this and I'd say that 21 out of 32 isn't bad at all. I turned 31 a month ago and have been feeling a little lost maybe a list like this would be a good idea!
ReplyDeletegood job with your list and thanks for the inspiration - I'm definately going to make a list for next year
ReplyDeleteNobody says you have to have only one quilt for your bed, I'm trying to make at least one for each season! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd say you made a great dent!
ReplyDeleteMy 32nd birthday is today. I don't think I accomplished anything super spectacular in my 31st year!
I luv this idea...I'm 1/2 way thru my 31st year... and am thinking I'll make a list just before my birthday in December!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your list!! :) Sarah
Happy birthday tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteDon't know what you're looking for and don't know their total inventory, but my LQS still has some KJR!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea to do, Erin! I'll have to think of some things to jot down for my next birthday (the big 3-0!).
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, by the way. =)
What a list and congratulations on completing so much of it. Happy Birthday for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday gorgeous girl! x
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday Erin! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Erin! I would say you've accomplished a lot this past year. Here's to an even greater 33rd year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! 13 years of blogging, holy cow. And we are almost exactly a year and two weeks apart in age. Fun. I love the list. I might have to make a "32 things to do before I turn 32 list." Congrats!
