I will confess, this is not a craft related blog post, but it's my blog so ner ner ne ner ner! Earlier this month I turned 28 years young and I have been doing a lot of thinking about various issues and paths etc. Inspired by a former colleagues blog "
Rhi's 30 before 30" (she has 11 months), I have come up with a list of thirty things I would like to try and achieve before I hit the big 3 0.
Starting today, September 1st, I have exactly 23 months to see what I can achieve. Ok, some of these are going to be a challenge, one more than any of the others, and some will be fairly easy but nothing on the list so far is anything I already have planned. I will blog about them on this blog so you can learn a little more about me!
So here goes in no particular order:
- Own a sewing machine,
- Learn to knit socks,
- Visit Buckingham Palace,
- Swim in a lake or stand under a waterfall,
- Own a home (the BIG challenge),
- Be debt free except from a mortgage if Num 5 happens,
- Visit Dickens House,
- Go to a soap making workshop,
- Learn to hang wall paper,
- Spend a night on the Norfolk Broads,
- Learn to make pastry,
- Learn the succession of kings and queens from William the Conqueror in 1066,
- Make and wear my own dress,
- Read 5 books from my bookshelf - I currently own 40 books that I have not yet read.
- Have a make up lesson,
- Do something every day to make me smile,
- Learn to change a car tyre,
- Be able to jog a mile with out stopping - with my leg issues this is a BIG thing,
- Go to Rome or Sorrento,
- Sleep for 6.5+ hours sleep a night consistently,
- Visit Giant's Causeway,
- Have a dinner party,
- Have Butterfly-Crafts mentioned in a newspaper or magazine,
- Sleep under the stars,
- Live as much of a handmade/homemade/economical life as possible,
- Begin to have the stamina, strength & body shape from pre-leg issues,
- Watch: Goodfellas, Casablanca, Dr Zhivago, Gone With the Wind, The Philadephia Story, A Street Car Named Desire, Ferri Beulers Day Off, Schindler's List, The Godfather and Citizen Cane,
- Go to a comedy club,
- Finish my knitted patchwork blanket,
- Visit 15 exhibitions at museums and galleries
So that is my challenge, I hope you will enjoy reading about it on my blog, in between the craft blogs!
