Resolutions, Old and New

At the beginning of last year, I wrote this post listing my goals for the year. In the interests of being lazy, let's check back and see how I did, and what's still to do.

1. Learn to make soap. I have some molds, I have some books. I just need to do it. 
2. Make laundry soap with homemade soap. Not necessarily my own homemade soap, I have some that I bought and that will work fine. =) DONE! On 5-28-2013 and 5-31-13 
3. Learn to make saurkraut or kimchi. Just ferment something! DONE! On 5-15-2013 
4. Learn how to read my Almanac. Seriously, why keep buying it otherwise? (Update: I didn't get one this year!)
5. Knit socks. Yeah, I need to learn more than just knit and purl. Learning!
6. Refinish kerosene heater. It would be so great to use it!
7. Make mozzerella cheese. I bought the stuff, I just need the milk from Bina. =)
8. Make mead. I have some of the equipment, but not the 24lbs of honey. (Yet!) Update: I think I now have ALL of the equipment, just waiting on the honey. 10-31 The honey is here!
9. Take a drop-spindle lesson at New Pond Farm. (I just took a spinning class on a wheel.) (Update: They haven't offered one yet. Maybe in the spring they will.)
10. Finish sewing my apron. Shouldn't be too hard. If I can find it, that is. (Update, I haven't found it yet!)
11. Learn how to crochet. DONE! By 10-31-13
12. Tap the maple trees and make maple syrup. Which will involve learning which ones are maple trees, without the leaves to tell me. *sigh* I should have marked them in the summer. Found one! Keep looking, before the leaves are gone!
13. Take a yarn dying class at New Pond Farm. (They haven't offered one yet. Again, maybe this spring they will.)
14. Work on starting a fire with my flint and striker.
15. Finish the denim quilt.
16. Learn how to use the pressure cooker. Well, really, just use it. Now that my father has changed the stovetop, I'll have to borrow somebody elses' stove. =(   
17. Trim goat hooves the next time you sit for them. Haven't been called to sit for them yet. 
18. Finish something on the beading loom.
19. Make recycled glass into birdbaths. DONE! On 5-18-13  And sold one too!
20. From Granny Miller, learn 10 new recipes. I've made a list, subject to change.

1. Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Already changed to Cream of Broccoli Soup, and I made it once already. So good! DONE! On 1-9-2013 
2. Tapenade I love it so, and I got myself a food processor for Christmas. DONE! On 2-9-2013 
3. Tomato Sauce
4. Ketchup
5. Mayo
6. Pasta DONE! Why don't I have pictures of this? Late September?
7. Guacamole. Kind of basic stuff so far... But if I add the things from my list above,
8. Saurkraut or kimchi. I fermented, something! DONE! On 5-15-2013 
9. Mozzerella cheese
10. Mead 
11. Cheeseburger in Paradise Added this one when I found it, Counting it as one DONE! On 10-31-13

Ok, not too bad. Finished 4 of 20, and worked on 3 others. Cooked 5 of 11 recipes. Plus all the other stuff that you may have read about, that wasn't goal-listed. (Like weaving class, and making lip balm.)
