There are so many life lists out there these days, I figured it was about time I get my own started. Since my twenties are dwindling away by one more year this week, what better kind of list than a bucket list of sorts for my twenties?
I fully intend on this list living past my 30th birthday and continue to add things on, but we’ll start with these 30:

2. Make something out of it
3. Take a class at the Cultural Arts Center
4. Yarn Bomb something
5. Give (at least) 20 handmade gifts
6. Knit a sweater (dog, child, and/or adult)

30. Learn how to do the “spring” card flourish (because who doesn’t like knowing fancy card tricks?!)
Ahh, this list was hard to limit to just 30, so don’t you worry, I’ll continue adding to it, but we’ll keep in the spirit of “30 before 30” for at least a week.
Do you have a life list? I love reading other people’s goals and ambitions, so share your list by linking to it in the comments!

I have a Things before 30 List. I decided to google other 30 themed lists and yours came up. 30 things are too many for me, but your list is interesting and quite practical. I’ll definitely link people to your website once I post my list.
Thank, Tara! I’m glad you found it helpful! I really wanted to come up with 30 things that I could feasibly accomplish in the next two years, I’m hoping to transform it into a more ambitious life list as I cross some of these things off. Good luck with your list, and looking forward to seeing it!
[…] bringing some big (but awesome!) changes and I couldn’t be more excited. My deadline for my 30 before 30 list is coming up this year, which means I better get busy working on checking off some more items! […]
[…] See that up there? That’d be a quilt up there. Check that off the thirty before thirty list! […]
