  4. Such a nice list! My grandmother used to say, "Only boring people are bored." Sometimes I feel boring and then I read a book.

    1. Well, I would think that is a really good thing. If you are able to keep yourself busy you don't need lists like these I guess ;)

  13. Oh my goodness. I need to carry this list around with me everywhere I go.

    I actually do a few of these quite often... I love walks, I crochet (rather than knit)... but I need to break out and do something different... a pillow fight maybe... now, THAT could be fun! Hmmmmm....

    P.S. You mentioned on my recent post on covering books with fabric that you recently did the project too! :) I'd love if you could drop me the link to your post so I can check it out too!

    1. Haha that is a very good one indeed. Actually, sometimes I eat as well when I am bored. Not so much because I am hungry, just because I feel like the occupation of eating is something enjoyable as well :p

  15. I like the 'only buy groceries you've never bought before' idea - I'm such a creature of habit so this is a great idea to try one day : )

    1. I don't mean to be rude in any way, but if I really really like a blog I will follow because I like it, not because I am 'following back'. I do check on everyone who comments here and try to keep as much up to date and involved with other bloggers as possible. But I simply don't have the time to follow every single blog out there. Hope you understand.. :)
