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

Haha yes I did. I was looking outside the window and there is a big tree in the garden of my downstair neighbour. Then I got the idea to pick a leaf and cut it up :p

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 ;)

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!

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

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 : )
Magical Day Dream
September 5, 2012 at 20:45
Yeah that is a great one to break with habits. Haven’t done that one in a while. Perhaps I should..

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.. :)
