I keep a running list of things I would like to accomplish before I am dead. Not a bucket list,  just a few things I am interested in learning. Let us know what yours are and how you will accomplish them!

1. Knitting
Try this cute video tutorial site if you would like to learn the art of knitting, as I do.  Or try some of the great patterns in this book by Tracey Ullman and her friend Mel Clark, Knit 2 Together: Patterns and Stories for Serious Knitting Fun.

2. Pack Light
I always pack too much when I travel and I use about half of what I take, and yet, I still end up having to buy things I need when I get where I am going. And you won’t believe how much we take when we travel together as a family!  I am going to study this award-winning site and try to lighten my load, literally!

3. Throw Pots
I want to learn how to make ceramic anything: bowls, miniature houses, vases, punch bowls and much more. I am checking into the class schedule at this fabulous studio near me.

4. Play the Bagpipes
My lack of talent at playing the clarinet in middle school has not deterred me from wanting to learn to play the bagpipes. I just need to practice on the chanter, and then I’ll be coming to a parade near you. Besides, I can’t wait to get a kilt!

5. Dance the Tango
Or any ballroom dance! Here is a great site to learn the basics so you won’t feel embarrassed going to a class. Now all I have to do is convince my husband!

6. Learn to Speak with a British Accent
Got thirty minutes?  Then you can learn to speak with a British accent!  How fun is that?

7. Tie a Tie
I have never learned to tie a tie.  Thanks to this fun website, I am on my way to being able to tie one on and fold the perfect pocket square!
