I've got skills, well kind of.

Not yet.
( Maybe by next year.)
I thought I'd share some of my goals in the hopes of making myself accountable.
I am excited to start a few of these:

* Cooking *

I'd like to prepare more real meals for myself. As much as I love celery and hummus, a proper meal, it isn't. I hope to make a balanced meal once a week. I am looking forward to trying recipes that look delicious. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I am expecting to share my successes (and failures) with you on here as the year progresses. :)

*Sewing*

I wish I had the time to take a weekly class with a couple of my friends. I don't. I hope to find friends to help teach me, or maybe I can learn through a book or something. At least I will start out by trial and error. My lovely little sewing machine from a couple Christmases ago has not seen as much use as I would have liked. I am eager to create new and alter existing items in my closet.

*Photography*

I adore my camera, but I haven't learned how to really use it. An instructional book from L&J has been great to help me understand it a bit more. I hope to put my knowledge into use. Along those same lines, I have Photoshop, and I haven't utilized it. I really want to take great pictures and make them amazing. My photographs from travels around the world and of my family are some of my most treasured possessions. I need to finish them properly.

This isn't all I am working on, but I think that is enough sharing for now.
Hopefully I'll update with proof of projects soon.
