# 96 - Make Ashleigh a scarf

(insert photo of Ashleigh frolicking around U.S of A wearing my delicious scarf)

I used my relatively newfound crocheting skills to make Ash a scarf before she went to the chilly States. I believe she quite liked it. I even put my heart in on it.

# 59 - Make a recipe book

In progress

This is actually a call for contributions. I am currently in the process of writing out my favourite recipes and decorating my very own, handmade cookbook!

Domestic, I know!

So any fantastic recipes anyone would like to contribute, throw my way. You will be duly credited of course.

#69 - Learn HTML

Really should have done something more exciting for no. 69.
HTML's exciting right!

I can now strikethrough, bold and ummmm I'm sure there's something else I'm capable of. The rest I can discover as I go.

Thanks Brady and Google!

#48. - Hem my long brown retro dress so that I can wear it

I bought this beauty in an Op Shop down the coast ages ago for $2. It was previously floor length which was ridiculously cool but to make it more wearable I wanted to trim it and with Mum's help the end result is a pretty rocking dress if I do say so myself.

#43 - Go to the Goma once a month for six months.

Twice in January makes up for not once in December right?

Well it's my list so I make the rules!

I went with Mum and the Canadians when there were in Bris a few weeks ago and then again on Friday with Ash-Machine. Of course everyone by now has heard the wondrous stories of Warhol.

Just a hint, if you have not been yet, venture into the Silver Cloud Factory in the kids section, Mum and I had as much fun as any of the kids; and line up for the photo booths. It's worth it.

#78 - Watch Se7en

Kaya's been raving about this movie for years now and I still hadn't seen it. Ironically we were both searching for it for each other for Christmas, luckily I was the only succesful one so we only have one copy. The Friday night before Christmas I was meant to go out for drinks for some work do, instead I bailed, came home and Kaya and I watched Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman do their thing and ate pizza. Far better night I believe.

It was everything I expected. If you havn't seen it I highly recommend it.



P.s Of course the multiple Dante references thrilled me slightly.

#64 - Bake 10 different cupcake recipes

#1 - Rhubarb and Ginger cupcakes.



I have one word for you.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Happy New Beer

Here's to 2008.



May it be a year of adventure, giggles and fulfillment.



As 2007 says its fond farewells I think of it and smile. Sure there were some shit times but they never seem so bad in retrospect.



Someone once said to me that however you usher in the new year is an indication of how that year is going to be. If that means hurting myself and getting cranky about lighting than I don't like that theory.



If however it means spending the night with a select few of very good friends, crocheting, playing guitar and laughing than I'm all in.



Oh and the significant players who wern't there last night, you were there in our thoughts so your included in this 2008 plan as well. ;-)
