The Softest Laundry
In The Seamstress by Frances de Pontes Peebles, sewing is a skill that saves the lives of two sisters. This made me rethink the list of skills that I personally want to acquire and perfect in the next few years:
Bake a perfect cheese cake. Grill a perfect steak. Grow vegetables. Plant flowers and keep them alive. Cook for my family. Draw old buildings. Learn Italian. Paint walls. Practice piano. Make a skirt. Knit a scarf. Raise healthy children. Learn ballroom dancing. Wash the softest laundry. Be excellent at work. Shapeshift.
43things is my favorite website for setting personal goals and following them.
(Farmville is my favorite place for wasting time.)
