  1. Nice list!! I don't have any to add, but maybe I will be insprired to make my own list. Or steal 1/2 of yours! I'm surprised... you've never sewn a button, really?? These are the ones I've done on your list, which makes me feel somewhat accomplished, even though they aren't really all the really exciting ones: 7, 9, 11, 12, 15, 30,40,41,47,53,64 (this was a good one!),69 (for about a year previously, not currently!)93, and 99. .... 44/45 = Haha! Love it! p.s. next time I get called for jury duty, it's all yours!

  2. I think you have one on your list already fulfilled. As for #1, if You don't know how to knit I will teach you sometime when I am on hibbing. Its easy.

    I have a list too, I will have to get it out to re-evaluate. :)
