New Beginnings!

So, despite what the first list says, I've changed that sucker many times and completed many things:
I finished the Strawberry Quilt, made a wedding photo book, bought 2 colors of wollmeise lace, bought a spinning wheel, learned to spin, Visited a major yarn event (TLE Spring Fling 2009), Visited the Loopy Ewe store, Knit 15 pairs of socks in one year (only had to do 12), I learned to cook 6 healthy dinners (pot roast, fizzy chicken, lemon chicken, shepherds pie, and sloppy joe's), moved into my own place with the hubby, got my cat de-clawed, quit my waitress job after 10 years, took a trip on my own (TLE Spring Fling), Got an iphone, Worry less & Gratitude list, Paid off the hubbs BofA loan, completely paid off my personal CC, went up a pant size and am maintaining it, knit something from my own handspun, hosted a "grown up" party, designed my own knitting pattern, made my own needle case for straight needles, bought a blender, finished 5 misc sewing projects, read 2 classic novels (Satyricon and Selected works of Cicero-it helps that my college degree is in classics), organized all my bathroom stuff, and bought a new bed set.

In my opinion, that's a buy year and a half...But I could be MORE busy. :D So!!! I started a new list (this time "officially" at Project Zero) and will be adding to that! And one of those is to keep updates on this blog for you!

The List (Subject to change)

Started on August 1st, 2008 end Friday, April 29, 2011
101 in 1001 List

I've made the decision to move the date back to August 2008 because i didn't really start working on anything on the list until then. So this way it gives me some more time for the bigger things (like say, get a college degree). And anyway, it's my list and I'll do what I want to.
