 2.Finish the blue cable blanket.

 

I am proud to report that I only have 16 rows left to go on this blanket. That include casting off. I will post the finished blanket soon. I started this blanket right after Labor Day.  I have been very hit or miss on the nights I have worked on it, but 6 months is pushing it for this very easy design.

3. Knit something out of my comfort zone. This means something besides blankets, scarfs, and rags. I have just the project as soon as I get the blue cable blanket finished.

4. Do something crafty with Charles 

5. Play in the snow with the family. I am going to give myself grace here and say taking pictures of Charles looking at the snow/pictures of snow accomplishing this goal. We have had massive winds with our snow. Also, I don't want to purchase snow pants for Charles that he will only wear 1 or 2 times. Lastly, we have had a huge amount of sickness in our home I would rather not aide in any way to another round of sickness.

6. Rake leaves into a pile and jump in. 

7. Color eggs with Patrick and Charles and take Charles to an Easter egg hunt.

8. Try a new recipe. 

9. Go tubing or white water rafting.

10. Donate 10 inches to locks of love. My hair is getting on my nerves so this maybe happening before I planned.

11. Make or do something on Pinterest. 

12. Do a moviethon with Patrick. Watch a set of movies that are sequels complete with popcorn & candy or cookies. 

13.Encourage others: prayers, cards, emails, and phone calls. This is ongoing and I'm praying for the request I know of. I have been sending random cards, emails, and texts.
