Here we go, 2009: bright, shiny things we will do together -- in no particular order -- presented in a list format for convenient checking off of items:
- Make/can pickled veggies
(carrots or asparagus or green beans will do) - Use plants to dye yarn
- Spin a skein of yarn
- Knit something up according to whim, not a pattern
- Commute my 30-mile round trip to work by bike
- Take pictures with actual film
- Buy a Holga
- Nurture seedlings
- Plant a garden
- Spend a Tuesday (or several) weeding and potlucking over at
Soil Born Farms
(which is exactly the place I’ve dreamed of; if it were in any other city, I’d be jealous. Luckily, it’s here; so I need to haul my ass over there. Often.) - Sew a dress
- Make a quilt
- Transform old clothes into new clothes
- Bake bread
- Bake a pumpkin pie from scratch (including the pumpkin)
- Have a donut over at Dynamo
- Make jam
- Organize the “craft room”
- Be ok calling said craft room my studio
(it sounds so important and lofty that way) - Call in sick when I am sick, and stay home knitting socks instead
- Read books (one a week, say)
- Make my big announcements -- like the reading blog Rick and I started -- in a more proper and ! way than sticking them, anonymously, in a list format
- Visit Twin Girls Farms
(they make the Platonic ideal of oranges – so perfect!) - Spend an afternoon at the ocean
- Go somewhere by train
(alright, I have done this before, but not for a long, long time)

um, the reading blog is just about the coolest idea ever. now that my life is consumed by a little slobbery (and sweet!) baby, I can read vicariously with you. I spent the last 8 years reading at least one book every week (oh, school), and now I haven't finished a single one in months...
Great list :) There are quite a few things on it I'd like to do myself in 2009.
There is something so satisfying about using film! I hope you give it a go. I'm having the best time with my holga & I love the unpredictable results. I'll keep an eye out on flickr :)
