41 things to do before I turn 42
By spotogspindel | November 5, 2009
I got this idea from Michelle, and thought that since I just turned 41, maybe I should try making my own list.
(Yes, I know I´m not 40 anymore, but that´s when I made the background for this page…)
1. Travel to a country I´ve never visited before.
2. Do something for charity.
4. Re-decorate a room.
5. Learn encaustic.
6. See San Francisco.
7. Make/install some guerilla art.
8. Build a bird house.
9. Enlarge my blog readership.
10. Make art postcards to send unexpectedly to friends.
11. Design Apple-drink labels for my home-made apple-drink!
12. Paint cabinet in hallway.
13. Make a family portraits wall in the hallway.
14. Make a Teesha-journal.
15. Have a day out just with my Mom.
16. Sow curtains for Karoline´s room.
17. Send anonymous gifts to 3 people.
18. Make 10 more pictures in my childhood-book-series.
19. Offer monthly giveaways on my blog.
20. Participate in a swap of some kind.
21. Try screen printing with my new mystical machine.
22. Go to a flea-market.
23. Host a craft-weekend at my house.
24. Have a midnight-margarita all-girls party!
25. Go to a concert.
26. Taste something I´ve never tasted before…
27. Take a hike to Preikestolen.
28. Make a pirat-costume.
29. Make more DAS-paper-maché figures.
30. Learn how to make glass-beads.
31. Give away lots of stuff I don´t need.
32. Take on a class or workshop.
33. Learn a little Spanish.
34. Sow something out of kimono-silk.
35. Grow potatoes in the garden.
36. Draw more.
37. Make a family-picture for my best friend.
38. Sing!
39. See a Cirque du Soleil-show

Wow, you create such fabulous art! Wonderful diversity and colors. Your skinny frog is a delight, dangling his skinny legs. Oh, speaking of legs, your skinny bird is adorable, too!
This is a great list. You are going to have an incredible year!

Janne, First of all I can’t even believe you’re forty let alone going on 42! Your list is inspiring – I may have to write one, too (but then I’d have to think of 51 things…!) I adore the quote on this piece, and the art you did fits the quote beautifully! You’re an amazing artist!

[...] As I said, enough with the romance. I went to a concert tonight. A Pink Floyd tribute band. Boy, those guys didn´t PLAY rock-stars! The concert was great! I mean, not just did they play great, but they had a whole concept. Lights, lots of lights, a film set-design, part live and part pre-recorded, sometimes at the same time. It was just way cool. Loud enough to totally get absorbed into the music, but not so loud that you couldn´t hear the details of all the instruments and voices and sound-effects. So I´m totally putting this on my 41 things-list! [...]
