Make a List for 2018!
Chelsea and I each made a bucket list back in 2011, and I found a copy of it today. Six years later and we haven’t completed much on our list. Chelsea’s still waiting for her pink convertible, and I’m still trying to organize my photos.
The beautiful thing about this list is that it’s New Year’s Eve and we have another full year to complete it! I told her I think we need to review and set more realistic goals for 2018. She keeps reminding me that she’s getting older and wants to update her list with things like a fluffy new bed.
She’s been lounging around today watching me fill up my market basket with goodies to give away tomorrow.
The basket is bursting at the seams, and I can hardly lift it! I’ve been collecting things all year, and there are 12 bags of treats inside! We’re going to pick 12 winners tomorrow, and each one is going to get a treat bag!
All you have to do to win is leave me a comment telling me if you’ve ever done a bucket list. Do you think it’s a good idea to do a yearly bucket list? One that you can review at the end of each year to see how much you’ve accomplished? Do you have any other ideas for organizing in 2018?
Chelsea and I will be back tomorrow with a list of 12 winners.
Happy New Year’s Eve!

I have never done a bucket list. I did make a resolution for this year however: to sew more and stop hoarding fabric because I love it too much. Do other people do that?

The closest I’ve come to a bucket list is a UFO list of quilt projects I wrote 2 years ago. After scouring my sewing room, I came up with an overwhelming 24 projects from quilt tops that needed quilting and half-done embroidery scenes to stacks of pretty blocks begun when a friend announced her pregnancy. Some went back a dozen years! Just creating the list was eye-opening and made me realize I needed to change the way I think about what I really want to accomplish creatively. To date, I’ve finished 3 (and crossed them off the list!), have worked on another couple, put 6 in a “take-it-or-leave-it” pile at my quilt guild meeting and, incredibly enough, begun probably another 15 projects! The good news is, I’m never bored :-) Happy New Year and welcome to another year of creativity!

I have never made a bucket list, but I do think it is a good idea. I like the idea of reviewing every year so as to see your progress and update as needed.
