    I NEED SKILLS. One skill that I wish that I had would be being a good cook. I can bake like crazy, but cooking is another story. The only way I can make any kind of meat, is in the slow cooker. Where I have to do nothing, but wait! LOL.

    I NEED SKILLS!

    I have a lot of skills that I would love to have or be better at. For the moment I wish that I had a green thumb and that I had better luck with my plants.

    Boy, do I NEED SKILLS!!! I’ve always wished I could play the violin. It’s my favorite instrument to hear, and I just love that eyes-closed, intense, pensive look that violinists have when they’re playing something they love and know by heart.

    I NEED SKILLS – woodworking skills would be great about now. I want lovely real bookshelves, but think I may have to jet over to IKEA just to get the job done.

    I NEED SKILLS! My hubby and I recently purchased a classic reel mower for our ity bity front yard :) Works great, is good for the environment, but is not so hot on the edges! A tool like this would help bring our front yard up to snuff with the landscaper neighbor’s!

    I NEED SKILLS!!!!

    I love to garden and have many irregular shaped beds that this would work just perfectly for.

    A skill I wish I had was that of being able to play the piano. We have a decent instrument and I really need to learn to play so I can make good use of it.

    I especially need snowboarding skills. I bought the board a while back after a few lessons, but for some reason, I can’t do it at all anymore!

    Lord have mercy, I need skills! If only I could learn to choose housework over relaxing when I get home after work. Washing windows in 90 degree heat just never seems to win out… :)

    I NEED SKILLS in the gardening department- although I started a compost following the instructions on your site… when do I know it’s ready???

      Hey Yolande,

      So glad to hear that you’re composting! In the warmer months stuff usually takes about 30-60 days to break down and be ready (the stuff on top might not be, but digging under it all you should have some amazing soil just waiting to help your garden out). In the colder months things take a bit longer, but the best way to know when you compost is ready is to dig down towards the bottom and see if you find leaves and egg shells (not ready) or rich moist soil (ready). Hope it helps!

      xo,
      Sherry

    I NEED SKILLS and wish they pertained to procrastination in organization. Like I need to clean out the garage, but there’s just so many other things to do that seem, well, fun.

    I personally wish I had the skill of breathing underwater at will. It wouldn’t come in handy often, but if it did, I’d be thankful.

    I need Skillz! I wish I was a better cook. My husband is fabulous in the kitchen and he makes it look so easy, so I usually just defer to him.

    “I NEED SKILLS” There are too many skills that I wish I were better at…. but I think making a really good latte is way up high on the list. I’m still working on that one!

    I wish I was able to sew! Everything from curtains to clothes, I’m a big fan of Project Runway and I’ve always though how wonderful it is that they are able to create whateever pops into their head.

    I wish I had more carpenter skills, like knocking out walls, refinishing hardwoods, and tiling my bathroom floor. Or electrical skills.
