1. Learn to sew well.
I have learned how to thread and rethread my sewing machine, and put together the first part of a small quilt. I would not say that I know how to sew well yet, but know that I do enjoy it. Though, it could possibly be more of a winter hobby for me. I have also started to learn how to crochet recently.

I went to Canada for Easter. This only counts if I do two other things on the list for number 9. Otherwise I need to go to another country that I've never visited. I'm not too broken up about this, but also not sure how or when I will possibly visit a new country in the next 5 months.
5. Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy (or should this be number 4?).

10. Visit the capital of the country on my passport.
