- Learn to knit or crochet (I don't know the difference)
- Waste less (primarily concerning food)
- Make (way) more soap. It's more popular than expected!

Everyone has a preference, but I like crochet! I think it is easier, especially if you mess up and have to correct something. Have you checked out Ravelry.com? You have to join (its free), but they have a ton of free pattern!
Good luck!
No idea what style you're shooting for on the mantle issue, but I have a huge soft spot for salvaged antique mantles. It's shocking how many are floating around out there on Craig's for only a couple hundred!
P.S. Wow, good luck with that mega-list, Raf!
I love your new photo of the day! Yeah!
Hey sis, too bad it's not 10 years ago I couldn't shown you how to knit AND crochet. I preferred knitting, it's easy and fun, especially if you're making something with no corners. However, I'm not a big fan of the yarn look unless it's a sweater. I hope you don't make toilet paper roll covers and all of that weird crap.
