A reckoning (what have I done in the past year?)

me as a baby. 

So, today is my birthday. As some of you may remember, I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish in my 30th year. 

Here is what I wrote:

 Now onto other things,

Here are a few things I'd like to accomplish in my thirtieth year:

* Buy and wear lip stain

* Successfully harvest crops from my garden

* Sew an item of clothing using a store bought pattern

* Buy an old piece of furniture and re-finish it (possibly a dresser for Eve's room, a china hutch, or a tv stand)

So, here's my reckoning.

* Bought and worn lip stain (bright red lip stain at that!)

* Harvested crops from my garden

I have not sewn an item of clothing from a pattern. I thought about doing it this week, before our trip to Florida, but we will see if I get it done. 

I have also not refinished any furniture. We did buy a great armoire on craigslist but have not refinished it. Still on my to-do list. 

But, 3 1/2 out of 5 isn't bad. 

For this next year, I suppose I should do the same kind of thing 

So, in my 31st year I'd like to:

* Sew an item of clothing from a store-bought pattern

* Buy an old piece of furniture and re-finish it

* Do a hand-made Christmas

* Finish our family's Christmas stockings (I only have mine left to sew)

* Get pregnant
