30 is Hard

Coming up with 30 projects is harder than I thought it would be.  Also I can't take forever making the list, I'll run out of time to complete the projects.  I came up with a few more through the power of suggestion. Always open to input...

  1. Bedroom Makeover: At this point my bedroom still looks like a slightly grown up college dorm room, even though it is attached to a house I own!
  2. Color in the Kitchen: The kitchen is full of beige, I am not a beige person! Or if I have become one I no longer want to be one!
  3. Build 4 x 4 workbench:  As seen at an artist studio at American Steel Studios
  4. Build nightstands
  5. Run a race
  6. Front yard makeover: Want to replace lawn with native plants and drought resistant plants, tired of seeing brown grass.
  7. Back yard makeover: Add fruit trees, cut out some lawn for "crops", create succulent planter
  8. Complete one new woodblock
  9. Take an art class
  10. Make a "pouf": Here's one project but maybe search because I know there were a couple that did it on the cheap using IKEA rugs I think...
  11. Sew a complete item of clothing (more complicated than a skirt though) using a pattern
  12. Design and get a tattoo: TGT tattoo or other
  13. Make Christmas presents for my neighbors: Starting pinning mason jar gifts.  Just a nice thought and I like the idea of remaining close with the neighborhood.
  14. Build and paint a bean bag toss game: A family friend requested this game and while I'm not totally convinced that my construction skills are up to it I found a youtube telling me how and pinned it. I'm going to take some time this weekend to go and get the supplies and give it a go. Note: As I'm writing this I realize I'm referencing a lot of pins so I created a Pinterest board for this blog in case anyone wants to see them all in one place.
  15. Sew baby blanket:  My good friend just had a baby and I want to send her a homemade baby blanket and one of my onesies from my etsy shop RadBaby.
  16. Add a new item for sale to RadBaby: Speaking of, this shop needs some new energy in it and I think a new product.  I'm working right now to keep it active and may do a sale to clear out some stock and then work to figure out another item to put up for sale.  I've gotten the suggestion of button earrings which could be cute especially using scrap fabric from our aprons.
  17. Complete a Coursera course:  I have signed up for Dino 101 and Intro to Computational Design (starting today!).  However my real project is to actually complete a course.  I took two others previously that I really enjoyed but I let life get in the way and didn't complete them.  
  18. ...
Ok only 12 more projects to come up with!  I can do it!
