resolve

Yes, I'm late, but resolutions can be made anytime, right?
This year, in the midst of many changes, I'd really like to:

1. Purge my apartment (amazing what 4 years of thrifting can do to a place!)

2. Use my sewing machine, and try sewing my own clothing (no excuse now that I have a dress form that is my size!)

I love these simple jumpers and pinafores from necessityisthemother.

3. This is embarrassing and I don't think I'll actually do it, but: learn to swim. I'm super scared of deep water, not gonna lie.

4. Grow more of my food.


5. Learn to take better photos (mostly for my etsy store).

things I'd like to do but won't feel bad about not accomplishing:
make homemade cheese, wine, or liquor.
begin to learn another language.
get my motorcycle license- because you need one to drive a vespa!
learn to re-wire old appliances.
write a book for my nephews.

Update: I've seen a lot of cooking resolutions in the blogosphere, and I thought it'd be fun to keep track of some dishes I'd like to attempt as well. I am not terribly experienced with cooking meat, so I bought myself a meat thermometer and a pork tenderloin and that's where I'll start!
Dishes to master in 2010:
Roasted Pork Tenderloin
Mussels
Short Ribs
London Broil
Fresh Pasta
Gnocchi
Whole Roasted Chicken (I can't believe I never made this!)
Italian Wedding Soup
Grilled Calamari
Savory Crepes
