My To Do List

Here's a bit of Background story for the To Do List below.
My friend Laura wanted to know why I couldn't publish a blog. And I told her I didn't want to stop and tell everyone what I was doing because it would take the time away from what I was doing.... so I told her what I was doing in a huge list (posted below) and then she said - well you could have posted it on your Blog - and everyone could know what you're doing. So Laura - this is for you my dear - and I can cross #17 off my list!

My list of Projects
(that are in various stages of completion)

1. Clean Apt! Take all my old crap to goodwill (got a lot done on Sat and made head way with this - but still far from completion!)
2.Do my NSS convention scrapbook (its huge and I have all the stuff - I just haven't touched it yet.)
3. Build an earthen oven in Paul's back yard (and cook in it!) See Handy Projects under "Inspirations" links
3. Help Paul finish his kitchen and two bathrooms - so far we've stripped all the walpaper and painted the kitchen, painted one of the bathrooms walls - still have to paint both and refinish all the cabinets in the kitchen and tile the back-splash for the sink and stove. (this is the main project right now)
4. Make home-made pasta ( I got my grandmothers pasta maker and an awesome book on pasta-making from my mom and Dad for Christmas)
5. Make bread in the earthen oven.
6. I have ideas for 3-4 drawings/sketches I need to draw for the Grotto Newsletter/myself. Sketch this one out – maybe even airbrush it?
7. Dolls for Bryce, Jillian and Daniel (have found some WAY cool fabrics for these and now need to start sketching them out!!) This will take a fair amount of time.....
