Task · part of 6. Inside the house: choose three of eight

6(g). Mend an object made of china, glass or pottery

Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 6: which THREE of the eight?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Needs something already broken, and an owner who accepts that the repair will be visible. Keep every fragment: the small ones are the ones that go missing.

Note. KEEP EVERY FRAGMENT, INCLUDING THE SMALL ONES. Mending china, glass or pottery is mostly a problem of having all the pieces, and the small chips are the ones that vanish into a carpet. It also needs an owner who understands that the repair will be visible: this is a mend, not a restoration.
