Life.in.Lists: I Want to Make Things

Author: shaunna | Filed under: Arts & Crafts, Life.in.Lists

you have no idea.

i’m really scared about how long this post might be actually!!!

I. LOVE. MAKING. THINGS.  (obviously.)  it like drives my entire day!  i will really try to keep this list to a minimum, i promise :)

I WANT TO MAKE THINGS.

  • a knit / crocheted Super Mario afghan.  i’ve been working on a pattern for like two years now, after seeing several that i really REALLY want.  it will happen.  trust me.
  • a gallery wall in our foyer.  it’s coming along slowly.  i’m making individually framed scrappy projects to include – pages, pictures, letters, etc.  it’s going to be so awesome when it’s done.
  • a Super Mario mural in our gameroom.  another work-in-progress for several years.  i am WAYYY too much of a perfectionist!
  • learn how to knit.  so i can make this amazing $5 in Paris sweater i saw on ravelry.  among other things.
  • my December Daily that i shamefully neglected.  i put together the MOST AMAZING book then never added any content to it.  i swear i’m going to get to working on it one of these days!!!
  • a Halo-themed afghan for Brody.  he really wants one.  i really need to do it… yeah… one of these days, just like everything else!
  • video game inspired floor pillows for the game room.  probably crochet.  who knows?  something else i’ve been stuffing onto my “to-do” list for years.
  • an acrylic mini album.  i have all the supplies.  my perfectionism always keeps me from starting it, though!
  • Christmas cards.  yeah, i’ve made a bunch.  yeah, i have a bunch that i never sent to anyone.  one of my goals for this year is to actually have enough to feel confident about sending them out to people!

i could seriously go on, and on, and ON.  but i won’t.  those are my top things!  glad i have this list to reference back to whenever i’m trying to think of yet another project to start ;)
