I just wrote something kind of mopey and all, "I'm a loner, Dottie," but my blog apparently isn't going to put up with any of that crap and everything disappeared.
So I'm clearly meant to talk about something else. Let's talk goals. I figure I can take #19 off since I made my mom's fairy quilt and then my parents' monster quilt - that was definitely at least two art quilts' worth of work.
There are a lot of things still on this list and my birthday is in 14 days. I think I'll be able to knock a few off before then if I buckle down, but I'm also not going to force things. I have, however, been spending a lot of time working on my New Year's Resolution, which is to beat Super Mario Brothers 2 (for the original Nintendo) without warping. It's a heady challenge, but I'm up for it.
28 things to do while I'm 28
1. Finish the wedding quilt.

Tunisian crochet isn't difficult. You could probably do that in an hour.
