It has been a busy month with a full on time at work, Ben leaving for Malaysia and a lot of travel planning – more on that soon. So although I have a few projects ticking along, namely Sex and the City viewing, I haven’t managed to cross as much as I had hoped off the list. I have 7 months to go though, so bring on the challenges.

This is where I’m at with things, notice the list is now complete. I didn’t want to put anything on here that I wasn’t 100% into, so I waited until a few more ideas solidified in my mind. Weirdly, I find I am always thinking about these things in the shower. I’m planning cakes and crafts while washing my hair.

1. Make a 3 tiered cake a la Sweetapolita – Complete! Check out my practice run and the final baby shower cake.

2. Watch the entire series of Sex and the City – I’m now at season 4.. totally in love with Aiden.. swoon…

3. Write at least 27 more blog entries

4. See The Book of Mormon theatre show

5. Create a star constellation scarf

6. Host friends for a grown up dinner party

7. Make French macaroons – My lovely boyfriend has given me a macaroon making book for Christmas, I’m circling the pistachio flavour as my first priority.

8. Plan a travel trip to Morocco

9. Make lolly infused vodka – I’m using Skittles, nearly done, just need to filter it and taste it!

10. Knit a peggy square blanket, maybe like this – I have paused on this one; firstly because of the expense of wool and secondly, I am finding it hard to commit to a colour scheme. Check out my Pinterest inspiration page.

11. Try out dance classes – I’m now an intermediate level salsa dancer. More on this soon.

12. Run a 10K cancer research race

13. Make salted caramel as gifts

14. Develop a uniform work wardrobe of at least 8 outfits

15. Go to see an inspirational speaker (like a Ted Talk)
