A Lot To Do
In this era of computer generated type, anything handwritten seems almost like a novelty. So, ever since I first saw one of my brother and his partner’s to do lists, I’ve been begging them to save each and every one of them for me. These guys are really really busy – they travel 8 months a year and run an amazing one-of-a-kind travel company – so it’s no wonder that they have a lot to tackle. Anyway, yesterday I received a Fed Ex delivery from them which, when opened, felt as though I had hit the motherlode: 9 of the most unintentionally beautiful patterns I have seen.

Oh my goodness, I feel like my blood pressure just rose as I scrolled down to the bottom. Damn, I love the feeling of striking out my to-do list but yikes, I don’t think I’ll ever really want to ever to do THIS much. 😛

It would be amazing to make a quilt out of one of these!!

These notes are beautiful! I want to frame every single one. Funny how the most simple and mundane things in life can at times be so striking.

You need to print these onto silk scarves. Who wouldn’t love that?

It’s amazing how some objects can be unintentionally beautiful. These *would* make incredible scarves!

This is absolutely mesmerizing, especially when you consider all the work that happened *prior* to your gathering the lists, then the original work created afterword to create an intriguing set. Nice!

certainly like your website but you need to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I in finding it very bothersome to tell the reality on the other hand I will certainly come back again.

This is really quite amazing. I am a busy person and my “to do” lists at times seem a bit overwhelming. After looking at these I now realize I am not nearly as busy as some others. I have to say I found these list just on the vergr of beautiful. As soon as I started looking at each one I thought of how awesome a “Journal” page they would make or blown up and used as wall art. Thank you so much for sharing,

Do you know ‘how’ they use this? Like are items color coded? I see some of the lists say WAITING. How many lists do they have? Man, now I want to know their system!
