After some trouble with the sewing machine my blanket is almost done. I was a bit surprised how hard this end up being to sew. But I think it look pretty good.



The pictures is before I putting the backing on it. I was able to get the backing in it and how just need to sew by hand the hole I left to turn in the right way. I am going to take it home and hopefully have my mom help me close it up.

As this project is reacting it 6 month mark, I have taken a good look at why I choose to do this project and how I feel it is going. I choose to do this project to really focus on things in my life and making myself happier. I wanted to try new things, move away from habits I don't like as much, and feel more accomplished about things I want and complete in my life. As we are reacting the 6 month part only about 140 days in and over 860 to go. I have to evaluate a few things.

First off I feel like as a person I have changed a lot of the past 6 months since I started my list. Some of the things where add cause they seemed cool at the time or just because. But if I have a list in my life I want to to fit my life and add and take away things that do not work. I love some of the things I have done, the time capsule for one. I love it and cant wait to open in when i turn 40. Trying to reconnect with my family has been great. Focusing back on my life and things that are good and bad in it. Some of the cool website and fun things I have done.

With this all being said, I am scrap the 101 things. I am going to take some time and redo my list. I am going to keep some of the things on there but take away the just because things. I want a list that is totally meaning full to my life and what is going on in it at this time. Not 6 months ago, but the present. I will redo my list as it seems fit. But I will still blog about things on the list as I do them and complete them. Some of the things I my list I should do because I want to not because I have it on a list to do. But having a list also help me see how far I have some and where I want to do. I hope you all will keep following my even thou I have dropped 101 things.

I am in the process of finishing make treats for work tomorrow. I made chocolate chip cookies and cupcake brownies. On top of that I made little candy bags for all the Mothers at work as a little gift.

I also just sent another friend a house warming gift cause she moved not to long ago.

I am having some issue sewing my blanket. My sewing machine is not working the best. So I am going to try one more thing and if I can not get mine to work. I am going to either borrow my mom or have her sew it for me.

I called my Grandma also to let her know that Russ and I were planning to come up at the end of the month and we be there on Saturday for lunch with them and my parents.

Russ and I went to the Jackson Street Roadhouse. It is a Minnesota train museum. There is a branch in St Croix also. I found it a while back and have always wanted to go.

We saw some amazing things. We saw one of the first steal caboose. They were working on restoring it to be able to use it. We also got to look at some old Stream Engines. They were amazing. THey also have a few old classic buses.
