Work through (with your copy of Blender open) the 3 PDF tutorials posted below: Mesh Modeling - Snowman Animation, Mesh Modeling - Candle and MyBlender.blend. Any files you might need for the PDF tutorials are located in the zip file associated with the tutorial. Right-click on the zip file link and download it to your computer. Open the zip file from there and extract the files.

This might also be a good time to start thinking seriously about your Project #1. You may want to put some pencil to paper and begin playing around in Blender expanding your ideas.
