26 Things To Do Before I'm 26
I spent some of my birthday money today on a copy of Lotta Jansdotters "Lotta Prints". I've been lusting after this book for ages, but hadn't yet found a copy in Australia. It was a complete fluke that I wandered past it today in Borders, whilst also holding a 30% off voucher! Hurrah! I also picked up a copy of the latest issue of Yen Magazine and when I got home the new issue of Frankie was waiting in my letterbox. A very good day indeed!
26 things to do before I'm 26
Yesterday I turned 25, and it kind of felt like just another day - (wish I got presents on every other day though) ... So it got me thinking, perhaps a list of things I want to achieve in the next year and the chance to look back at them when I turn 26 will make me realise the things I have packed into my 26th year of life. So here goes (in no particular order).
1. Use/Experiment with my screen-printing kit.
2. Run 3km.
3. Learn Spanish (Enough to have a conversation).
4. Keep my balcony garden alive until next winter.
5. Learn to make Red-Velvet cake.
6. Plan / Organize / "Make Real" our move to the UK.
7. Co-create crafty art with Jennifer (sister).
8. Open an Etsy store.
9. Keep this blog until I'm 26.
10. Post on the blog at least once a week.
11. Join / Participate in some kind of sport club.
12. Hold our first Christmas dinner at home.
13. Volunteer for something.
14. Read a book a month (post about each book).
15. Make 100 pieces of neighborhood art (post photos).*
16. Paint a canvas that is NOT for school.
17. Finish a knitting project.
18. Participate in a "fun run" (even if I'm walking it).
19. Get rid of my old car loan debt.
20. Get my wedding dress properly boxed.
21. Take a life drawing class
22. Take a ceramic/pottery class
23. Learn to make my own frame matts.
24. Visit (at least) 1 exhibition every month.
25. Drink (at least) 1 litre of water a day.
26. Get (at least) one more person to create a list like this.
* more about this one later.
