17 Things I Want To Do In 2023 – Week 1 of 52
Posted by admin on
Go On A Solo Adventure.
Mostly, I am crazy excited about my solo adventure. Like 98% excited about it. The other 2% is nervous energy about things out of my control and decisions that will have to be made at the last minute on the fly.
And that’s all I have to say about that. 
Take An Adult Education Class.
A bread making class or something artsy might be kind of cool, then again something totally out there {belly dancing – which would never happen!} might be kind of interesting too.
Curling lessons. I hear curling is kind of a thing here in Maine. That might be something to look into. Any ideas?
Revisit An Old Friend.
This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a while now, but only now have the time to do properly. {More on this goal later.}

Send 52 Cards To 52 Different People.
I think I’ll start with Valentines.
Make 12 Totally British Recipes In The AGA.
This of course is if I actually get my AGA this year. 
Set Aside 200 Items For A Yard Sale
I plan on going through all my kitchen stuff this week and weed out anything that won’t fit in the AGA {that’s supposed to be here in May} and see if The Girl wants it and if she doesn’t, toss it in a box for the yard sale later this summer.
Kitchens are always a good place to start.
Earn $1,493.04 {Last Year’s Grocery Expenses} Selling Totally Random Things Online
Well, I’m off to a good start! I sold a box of driftwood. Just wait until you see what I plan on listing this friday!!!
Sold so far:
- 1 Box of “Native Organically Harvested Maine Driftwood for $89.95
* At the end of the year I will deduct all the shipping/supply/selling fees from the grand total.
Go On a Staycation/Craftcation With The Girl
Holing up somewhere to work on crafts and ordering room service for a few days seems like a totally fun thing to strive for don’t you think? The only rule is, the hotel has to be free {presumably with credit card points.} And there will be matching flannel pajamas.
Turn The Craft Room Into a Proper Studio Space
Does anyone know anything about sergers? I’ve been using a Brother 1034D serger for the past 5-7 years and I am ready to upgrade to something quicker and more industrial like.
I literally just want something that will nicely {and quickly} surge around the edges of my rug hooking fabric {heavy linen} and that’s it. I’ve heard good things about Juki sergers but that’s about it.
- Rip out the old gross carpet and replace it with pine floors
- Fresh paint
- A Proper Light Fixture
- New Serger
- New Work Table
Hook 100 Rugs
I’ll do a final count at the end of the month but here’s one I just finished. It’s my version of an antique rug. It’s a little off center and quirky with all its hearts and the wonky flower and I just love it. It looks old and imperfect. Just the way I like ’em.
Create 15 New Rug Hooking Patterns
I’m off to a good start!
New patterns I’ve added to my Etsy shop in 2023:
- Antique Hearts and Flowers
- Fat Cat with Hearts
- Horse and Hearts
- Valentine Kitties
- Little Chicken
- Hit and Miss Flower Basket
Grow 1,000 Pounds of Vegetables In The Commune Sized Garden
If only I had a greenhouse…
Empty The Canning Cupboard / Fill The Canning Cupboard
We seem to be a little heavy on the ketchup right now. I wonder if I can add it to beef stew? Hmmm.
Make $500 Selling Plants, Flowers or Vegetables
The Duck Lady said I could bring any plants, flowers or vegetables to her stand and sell them there this summer. I’ll probably start with tulips or French breakfast radishes.
Buy 12 Handmade Items {From 12 Different Artists}
Hopefully I’ll have something to show you soon.
