Yakkity yak, don’t talk back.
31 Mar
Now that March has come to an end, it’s time to review the February and March resolutions. If you recall, the theme of the months was craftiness. I accomplished a ton, but still managed to buy stuff for even more projects. I took a quilting class (one session left), another online scrapbook class, and signed up for yet another that starts next week. I also made melt and pour soap for the first time and purshased even more fabric.
The resolutions were:
1. Have all items to sell on ebay out of the house by the weekend of February 25. I want to come home from Vegas without any clutter.
Success! I mailed the last item the day before vacation. Almost everything sold and I made about $500. The best part is that my closets aren’t bursting at the seam. Oh, they are still full, just not bursting.
2. Complete the Colts 2005 accordian card file scrapbook. I need to get this down on paper soon before I forget all the good (and not so good) memories from the Colts season this year.
Success! It’s finished and I’m happpy with the results. It was a quick little projects with wallet-sized pictures and hand-written journalling. Nothing fancy and it gets the job done.
3. Assemble wine journal. The labels are piling up and I want to get them in the book before I lose them.
Success! Again, it’s nothing fancy, but is a great place to record what wines I’ve had and note which ones I want to have again.
4. Complete two panels of the Christmas Tree Skirt. I’ve been working (aka NOT working) on this since 2002. I made up a schedule that will get it done by September.
Fail! Although I did work on the project, I didn’t complete two panels. I didn’t even complete one panel. There is no motivation when it comes this project.
5. Finish all the assignments in the online scrapbooking class I’m taking.
Success! All assignments that I was interested in completing are complete.
6. Complete three projects that I started at the Creating Keepsakes Conventions I attended last year. I’m not allowed to go to another convention until I’ve finished every single projects from the two conventions. Luckily, the Bellevue one isn’t until November.
Success! I actually completed four projects from convention and four other small projects that I had laying around. I didn’t put pictures in them yet, but they are four assembled projects that are ready to be given away at a moments notice.
I’m pretty happy with the results here. Obviously I really wanted to complete all six, but I did a lot this month and hope the momentum continues. April’s theme and resolutions will be posted on Monday.
