Updated List!

Some of you may remember that I posted a list of 101 things I would like to do. It was of the 101 in 1001 theme but I didn't set a time limit as some things I knew would take more than 10001 days. I thought it was about time I popped back and reviewed the list to see if I could cross off anything else.
I am not quite sure why I highlighted those to do in green and those done in red, seems a bit back to front now but that's how it is!

Craft an item a month (different crafts) x 12 - Cross stitch, beading, sugar craft, resin jewellery, card making, hand sewing, bread making, basic knitting, jam making, beeswax candle, dressmaking (well a skirt) with a machine and knitting with Katia wool, (the wool is different but process the same so undecided about this one but I think it counts)
