Learn to play guitar, piano, violin, recorders

Learn to play a song with --- and post it on YouTube

Measurable... so play a song with the instrument so well you can put it on YouTube. Now, that means my shame is the limit here. :-D

Now, this list is the instruments I have access to. It's a shame I can't play them very well... I want to learn to play them better.

Make a BJD

I had "learn 100 crafts" on my list - when I had quite a lot more than 500 days for this. I started with 100 months... Learning a craft in a month is quite possible, after all, you just need an hour to learn a craft... but to actually make things using that craft technique takes quite a lot more time than that... One month would have been OK, 5 days is not.

Now, I have wanted to make my own BJD for years now, but I just don't dare to start!

Have an arts and crafts exhibition

I am an artist and an artisan, and I want to have an exhibition of my work.
I'm pretty certain of that I want to do this in our home, so I need to prepare the "show room", and then hang the things and see that the visitors stay in the living room and won't wander off to the rest of the house, and hope that someone buys something...

I also need to do the work I'm going to exhibit :-D

Yeah, I don't know what I am doing...

translate and illustrate the Blue Fairy Book in Finnish

Jostain kumman syystä Andrew Langin satukirjoja ei ole ikinä käännetty suomeksi! En edes tiennyt niiden olevan olemassa ennen kuin ne olivat Ruotsissa kirja-alessa.
Olen nyt yrittänyt kääntää niitä sitten 1993. Pitäisi panna tulta hännän alle, helskutti vieköön! On ihan kiinni vain siitä, ettei huvita.

Siinä on yli 400 sivua ja 36 satua, että jos kääntää sadun viikossa, niin on saanut sen käännettyä elokuuksi, joten siinä on neljä kuukautta kustantajalla saada se joulumarkkinoille... tai vuosi, eiköhän ne joulumarkkinakirjat pitäisi olla valmiina jo elokuussa...
Saanko käännettyä ja kuvitettua sadun viikossa? Kyllä.

Ja sitten kun se on tehty, siitä vain punainen, vihreä, keltainen jne.
Olisi kiva jos ne olisi vyön alla kun täytän 60 :-D

replace all the houseplants I have killed

Now, this is easy. Just write a list of all the plants I have killed and buy new ones.
But - that is not what I want. I want to keep them alive this time.

The list is:
3 dark red st.Paulias. (African violets.)

Devil's Ivy
Spider plants
Monstera
Dracaena
Snake plant
Prayer plant
Yucca
several fragrance geraniums and 1 old-fashioned black one
2 peace lilies and 1 black one (They say it's impossible to kill these... Ha!)
lemon tree
Avocado
Ivy
Several poinsettias
pink hibiscus
Jade plant
Benjamin ficus, Lyraficus and rubber plant
Flaming kalanchoe

Houseplants

I also want to replace the waxplant, the Amazon lily and the orange tree my mother had, but killed when she got Alzheimer's... she had them some 60 years. The waxplant used to belong to my grandmother... I don't know how many years she had had it.

I also want a cactus tray and a bonzai tree. I am kicking myself for not getting myself one when my husband and I moved here, 20 years ago... I would have a 20 years old bonzai tree now, had I done what I wanted to do... But, I'm a push-over, and he thinks bonzai trees are abuse of trees...

And I want some air purifying plants, too.

write and illustrate 8 holiday books

write and illustrate 8 holiday books - one for each Pagan Sabbath

Those are Yule, Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon and Samhain.

What I mean with this is a book with beautiful, inspiring photos and drawings, and information about the feast, different feasts around this time of the year, timeline for preparations, different lists the reader can fill themselves (like gift list, address list and cleaning schedule), recipes and everything needed to get the party going. Basically, it's going to be my Holiday Binders put in a handy book form.
I am going to write it all by myself and illustrate it by myself, with my drawings and paintings, and photos. I want to take beautiful photos of my own home decorated, and of my cooking and baking etc. To be able to do this I need to learn to use my camera, and get my home in order for it to look right for these photos.
I will start at Beltane 2018. That is 1st of May. That gives me plenty of time to get everything just right.
There are about 6 1/2 weeks between each Sabbath. If I celebrate them for 1 week, I get 5 weeks to prepare for the next one and 1/2 week to take down all the decorations and stuff. 

Now... the minimum is to write and illustrate this - in any way possible. It is OK to take photos from the internet etc. But - I would like to get these published with my own photos, and I would like to learn to take beautiful photos and have my home decorated for all the 8 feasts. I am a witch after all and a Pagan, and I want to celebrate the wheel of the year, by making each Sabbath as big as Christmas is. And if I can entice others to follow my example, great!

learn to dance 10 different dances and make a video of myself dancing them

Merry Christmas eve, everyone!

Now, "learn to dance 10 different dances and make a video of myself dancing them"

These dances are:

1) Flamenco
2) Tango
3) Samba
4) Cancan
5) Swing
6) Ballet
7) Bellydance
8) Tap dance
9) Irish dance
10) Charleston

Oops... that escalated quickly...
Ok... let's define this... Choose a dance routine and perform this on a video.
I need a partner for swing and tango.
There are adult beginner groups in most dance styles.
I just need to get more flexible, get more fit and lose about half of my weight.
And then it's just to learn.
Oh, and I need tap shoes.
