Three things I want to learn…

November 1, 2009

I have come up with three things I want to do.

This is my personal challenge.

I want to knit and/or crochet.   (since I am so clueless, I am not sure what it took to make these little darlings, but I want to do it)  it might even make me EAT apples if I get to dress them up in this manner!!!!    how could you resist???  (apple cozies)  too cute!!!

cuteness....I also want to learn how to solder.  Seems easy, but I am sure it is not.  The creations I would make would be endless.  Jewelry, repurposed sculptures, etc etc etc.  I have looked and looked at the kits, but always leave the local hardware store withOUT them.  {sigh}

a fine example...and lastly (for now)  I want to learn more about photography.  I love the unexpected.  I love candid shots.  I want to do it, and do it better.  Take pictures of things of my surroundings that are very often ovelooked.  My daughter has taken an interest in this, and when bored, she will take my camera, and just go take some random pictures.  I am amazed at the beauty of them, and very proud that she can find beauty in the ordinary….but when I am behind the lens?  mediocre at best.

this is OBVIOUSLY not me, but it WILL be someday...So, there is my list.  I will invite any and all tips to help me out.  Free lessons will also not be turned down…..and with any luck they are out of town, and include air fare.  Remember, I am in dire need of a vacation.  LOL

I would also love to hear what YOUR list includes.  Why wait for the old cliche and do it for the New Years??  join me now, and we can have our wishes perfected by then.

Post your list of no more than three (ya know, we have to be realistic) and I will pick a winner….and choose a VERY motivating gift specifically geared to your wish.

You have all week long to think on it.  I will draw on Monday November 9.
