071 Make washable sanitary pads

Why do I want to do this?

Ew, ming, you might say. But I already use a Mooncup, and am very happy with it. Occasionally I wear sanitary towels for moral support, if you like, and hate them, because they are plasticky and sweaty. Actual cotton (as opposed to 'cotton-like feel', which really isn't) would be fantastic.


How will I know I've done this?

I'll have made at least two washable, reusable sanitary towel equivalents.


I'll record this... do you really want to know? I'll post about it in this journal, but don't worry: I won't illustrate it. Unless I manage to make a really good pattern, obviously.

072 Make three Christmas presents per year myself

Why do I want to do this?

I've never been keen on the idea that 'Christmas = spend loadsa money!!!'. I have more sympathy for the one that goes 'Christmas = spend time and trouble on people you love'. That's what this is about. It's also a variation on 'Recycled Christmas', which was a goal on the old list. Besides, I like making things.


How will I know I've done it?

For Christmas 2010, 2011 and 2012, three of the presents I give will have been made by myself. These can be edible, wearable, practical, frivolous, or whatever.


I'll record this in posts in this journal - after Christmas.

073 Go to three museums I've visited before and three I've not

Why do I want to do this?

Museums are fantastic - I love wandering around, looking at beautiful things, interesting things, important things, things that meant something. I don't go to as many as I'd like, and when I do go I tend to stick to ones I already know.


How will I know I've done it?

I'll have spent at least an hour in each of six different museums. I will have previously visited three of these, but the other three will be new to me.


I'll record this in posts in this journal.
