the summer list was almost completed.
no horse, no teaching lauren to drive, no new recipes…
but summer is over.
so i made a new list.
it's all mine.
every room has it's own color
and each project i want to finish.
with room at the bottom to add stuff i think of later.
with the kids at school i am trying to be productive and creative.
trying…
and this list has already helped me so much!
and i can never say "i have nothing to do"
not that i have said that in the past 5 years…but if i thought of saying it.
i can't.
it's all here in rainbow color.
now i am going to make some pillows.
robin bird - wow. very , very impressive. you are my role model for household projects. will you teach me to make/remake lampshades? i would love to do that with a little lamp in my kitchen that i love.
meg is that your cereal bowl?

Jen - You go girl!
Nancy - Man, that looks ambitious but I do the same thing. Make a list and have it accessible so I know what I need to do.
Allikayes Mama - Making Talby a tent!? Yes! Please show how you do this – I am thinking a tent for Allikaye is in y future!!
shiela - i enjoy your blog a lot…very FUN & inspiring! thanks for sharing so much of your talent.
Deb - Oh, I made a list similar to this, but more out of Autumn Nesting than free time. See, this is the time of year I get busy, teaching 4 children. WooHOo!
Andrea - That is about the cutest dog EVER!
traci - love your list idea. i need to do that. seeing it everyday, might make me work on things more. good luck with yours. you’ll be crossing things off before you know it.
Nichole - You do realize that you are my hero.
For two reasons:
1) You make lists like I do
2) You make that list in Crayola Markers
There would be a 3rd if and ONLY if those markers were scented.
:]
lee ann - I need to copy a list like this too (the summer one was fun). I’m the kind of person who “freezes” when there is so much to do and instead I sit on the couch and eat 🙂
Maybe I should get up RIGHT NOW and hang some pictures on these bare rental house walls.
Chaos-Jamie - I planned to make a list like this for the school year and Brent nixed it. I KNEW it wasn’t a dumb idea! (Though I will admit yours is MUCH more creative that mine would have been.)
PamperingBeki - ummmmm… yeah….
I’m going to need you to go ahead, and ummmm, stop making me feel like a slacker.
mkay?
😉
Dana D @BoysMyJoys - Whew! I’m tired just reading your list! But I can’t wait to see pictures of your completed projects! In fact, I first stumbled upon your blog when someone linked to your post of curtains made out of an old bedspread and some other material! Love your decorating ideas!!!
sara - lol. thats like my cleaning list! I have to list everything I need to do room by room or I get scatter brain and just stay in one room!!! Great list! Good luck!!! =]
Crystal - thanks for another grEAT idea!! We loved having a summer list…i am SURE that doug will equally love a to-do list. 🙂
