The Whole Numbered list - no Categories here

1. Make a full list of the authors I like to read & distinguish which books I have read & which I need to read. - Post them when done... no more partial lists in various notebooks that I could lose, I want a list the world can see.
2. List some items on Etsy. Since I have a sellers account, it would be good to actually list some things for sale.
3. Make at least one cross stitch item a month. (Biscornu, needlebook, bookmark, SOMETHING!)
4. Complete A2002's Chutes & Ladders Quilt. Fabric is the Moda Chutes & Ladders line so that is all I can think to call it that makes it clear what quilt it is.
5. Finish the bow-tie quilts for the girls. - This is TWO quilts of 6" finished blocks, 9x11 field.
6. Finish the matching bow-tie doll quilts. - This is TWO quilts of 6" finished blocks, 4x6 field.
7. Convince mom to do the "Ultimate Charm Quilt Challenge" with me. - Send her the 70 pieces of 9"x11" to use. This is from the book, Beyond Charm Quilts, The Ultimate Challenge.
8. Make the challenge quilts that I have outlined for the UCQC. The idea is to see how many COMPLETE projects you can get from a set of charm squares. My set is 70 fabrics @ 9" square. (There is a two inch fudge space, as they are 1/2 of a fat eighth.)
9. Get pregnant again. - NO NOT NOW.... - but I know we want to have another in the next couple of years if at all possible. That will be during this project.
10. Potty Train A2007. Kinda self explanatory, huh?
11. Make some progress on my EPP Hexagon Quilt. Baste a large number of pieces. Since I have a large number that are clipped, more that are still just stacks of fabrics, and I have a large number of templates, I need to get more in the grab bag to be ready to assemble in sections.
12. Make more sections on my EPP Hexagon Quilt. I have 3 sections together right now. I want to get another two - four sections done - MINIMUM.
13. Lose at least another 20 pounds. I am down over 25 already as of the day this posted. (Started at 245.) == I'll consider this goal reached when I stay under 200 for more than 3 weeks.
14. Take a real family vacation. Trips for graduations or funerals are NOT vacations.
15. Purchase the entire CSI family of shows from start to finish. If it is one of those & out on DVD, we need to get it. We are partway there, but we need to do some searching to get the rest.
16. Make my RWB Road Quilt. I have a mass of Red, White & Blue fabrics from a single coordinating line that are destined for a Yellow Brick Road Quilt. I bought them knowing that was there purpose. They are still a "PIG" status UFO.
17. Learn to Knit. I got the book for Christmas & I want to actually be able to do it without the book, like I crochet.
18. Buy a Nintendo Wii. This will take effort from me to SAVE for it.
19. Get the Wii Fit. Same SAVING issue here.
20. Get a Sony PS3. Again same SAVING issue.
21. Get my OWN 100 list journal going. Maybe even a blog for it... all end up with all these linked but different blogs. LOL
22. Get my "Feet" tattoo for each baby.
23. Put aside $5 for each item I complete (This will be my LAST item to complete!)
