Update on 24 by 24
While we were in Adelaide it was my birthday and I turned 24! So it’s time to update my 24 by 24.
1. Make a coffee date dress I didn’t actually make the coffee date dress, but I did make THIS dress instead.
2. Loose 12kg (total, since start of WW- am currently at 6KG lost) This was a major fail. Haha.
3. Go to Europe! Done!!
4. Taken out a huge bank loan for our investments. We got pre-approval for a home loan, but ended up deciding not to go ahead with it.
5. Read through 3 more books of the bible Again, didn’t do this one like I should have.
6. Drink at lest 1L of water every day. Check! LOVE drinking water, and MOST days I drink about a litre.
7. Keep Shabbat better We’ve started going to a Friday night church will is really focussed on Shabbat, and Israel, so that’s at least a step in the right direction.
8. Start an online shop of my bags/crafts Done. You can check it out here.
9. Fit into my skinny jeans again Nope.
10. Hold an art exhibition Not quite, but for my Masters I’m going to have to show my quilt somewhere. So this one’s just postponed a bit.
11. Continue with my Creative 365 and post every day I tired, I really did. But after a while I lost momentum, and it all became a bit too much. I am happy to report that studying has really helped me to be creative, and even though I’m not recording it, I am doing something creative most days!
12. Cook at least one new meal each week To be honest, I haven’t been keeping track, but we have tried LOTS of new meals, so I’m going to give myself a tick for it.
13. Create more screencasts and tutorials for this blog I’ve done a few!
14. Scrapbook our Europe holiday Not really. I’ve started, but that’s about it!
15. Play at least 2 songs (well) on the saxaphone Nope. Another fail.
16. Develop a (free) creative thinking online PD for teachers Yeah, didn’t do this one either. Too much other stuff on is my excuse!
17. Expand my fabric stash Defintely done!!
18. FINALLY buy Nigella seeds- I have to be able to get them from somewhere!! NO!! Argh. This still drives me insane! Where ARE they?!
19. Make an etsy shop Done, though I don’t use it anymore- I use madeit.
20. Sell something in my etsy shop Done this as well, both in my etsy store, and in my madeit one!
21. Publish and distribute a ‘zine Done! You can download it here.
22. Support Luke in his creative endeavours
23. Become an ‘expert’ bread maker (read: not have to buy any bread from the shops again, just live off bread I make)
24. ‘Finish’ my photo/”C” wall
