Things you would like to learn how to make with your own two hands:

I love lists.  Maybe a bit more than S but I think we both love lists.  Anyway, she loves lists at least enough to make a few lists with me.  When I came across this book with topics for tons of lists I knew it'd be the next Donuts After Dark feature!  Here we go...

Things you would like to learn how to make with your own two hands:
N:
  1. Bread! I <3 Bread.
  2. Beautiful dumplings like my grandma (hers are so uniform!)
  3. Good looking shelves/other woodworking projects. Like a HOUSE.
  4. Good looking and well fitting clothing (normally my sewing projects turn out okay..)
  5. An impressive sculpted bust of my dog
  6. Welding! Just cause.

S:

  1. Bread! All my bread-baking endeavors have been failures, probably because I am too lazy to knead or let rise properly. 
  2. Dresses. I always start sewing projects enthusiastically then get overwhelmed by the patterns, and give up once I inevitably break the sewing machine and can't figure out how to rethread it.
  3. Tables/chairs/general woodworking. I did take wood shop in middle school and successfully completed a box and a mirror frame. Our teacher had multiple missing fingers. The wood shop was actually closed down after our year because too many people were giving each other tattoos with the wood burners. I remember really enjoying drafting. 
  4. Origami. Just to impress people at dinner parties and such. 
  5. Goat cheese. Because I love it and then I would get to have a pet goat.
Based on this you should probably expect some posts on bread, carpentry and sewing coming up!
