28 Things and worries

My poor Muffy. Gracie ripped her dewclaw off AGAIN yesterday. It's bad. She's in surgery now, getting it cut back. "Surgery" sounds bad, I know, they're not removing the entire claw - not now, at least - but they have to put her under and that's always scary. I'm antsy and angsty and every time the phone rings I think it's the vet. Also, I have caught Justin's respiratory illness. I'm enjoying the early stages and will hide under the covers sometime later this week.

Here's my list for my 28th year. There several things unfinished last year, but that's okay. The new stuff starts with #16, and as usual, I've left a few spaces so I can make more goals as the year goes on.

28 things to do while I'm 28

1. Finish the wedding quilt.

2. Finish the triangle quilt.

3. Ride bikes with Justin.

4. Sew the grey and pink fleece coat.

5. Design and knit my Weasley sweater.

6. Make Elizabeth Zimmerman's modified yoke/raglan/whatever sweater.

7. Sew another skirt. Maybe two.

8. Finish all 3 lingering UFOs (in the sidebar)

9. Knit a sweater for Justin.

10. Knit 20% of my yarn stash, including any new additions.

11. Spin 30% of my fiber stash, including any new additions.

12. Read all of the Anne of Green Gables books.

13. Take a cooking class.

14. Read the Chronicles of Narnia books.

15. Beat Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on Gamecube.

16. Train Gracie to be a therapy dog.

17. Repaint the concession wall in the bedroom

18. Spin and knit a sweater.

19. Create a series (at least three pieces) of art quilts.

20. Finish the first draft of my story.

21. Complete the first cross stitch I ever started (7th grade).

22. Complete and submit the first level of the Master Knitter's program.

23. Get new furniture for the family room.

23a. Do not kill Justin in the process of above.

24. Construct some sort of anti-squirrel contraption in the vegetable garden.

25. Take a long weekend vacation with Justin.

26.

27.

28.
