I got the bucket list idea from Karen at Dixieland Crafts! I started following her through IG, brought together by the Sew Sweetness City Sampler QAL... I love the wide world of sewers and quilters through the use of social networking! It is amazing the people you come across! It's fantastic!
So, what better way to not only document your list of "to do's" than to create a Bucket List page? At first I was thinking my bucket list should be more for the process of learning how to do something, but then I thought, "No, silly Jessi, it should be things to learn and things to do". I don't even know of all the things I still have yet to learn! Some things I know how to do them by sheer principle, but never have attempted them!
Of course, it will be a good resource for when I am able to complete these things too. It would have been great to place my Mitered Corners for Receiving Blankets here when I was trying to figure that out! And like Karen, I will create a link to my post and the date that I actually am able to complete the "bucket list" item! Hurrah for accountability! Right?

Fantastic bucketlist Jess and like you I love that I'm meeting so many like-minded people through these social media sites. The accountability is amazing. I have actually felt a weight lift off my shoulders since creating my bucketlist. I no longer have to remember. YAY its written where I can get to it at any moment. Works Great!!! So excited to watch our progress ;)
