Ok, so February wasn't quite as successful as January for me or Vermillion Rules. I can blame the short month, or the week of sickness throughout the family, or the visit at the end from my best friend. Or it could be that I simply hate laundry and putting clothes away so the motivation was nill to get the closet organized. However, in the spirit of the goal, I did get quite a bit done around the laundry room. We had a MOUNTAIN of laundry down there, and also a mini-mountain of Ace's outgrown clothes in his room that needed to be stored away. During February I was able to get the MOUNTAIN in the laundry room down to a mere hill and forward progress is being felt and I was able to organize Ace's drawers and get all the 0-3 boxed up and 90% of the 3-6 boxed (any still not boxed he can still wear). So while I didn't even begin to touch the closet in our bedroom - I did wash a TON, including the end of maternity clothing and get that all boxed up too! Anything that I did wash during February was actually folded and put away, so naturally to some degree the floor in the closet has gotten cleaner as we've worn it :) Ah well - not all goals are met in their entirety!
Upward and onward I say! So March's goal... touch up the paint in the bathroom. When we first painted the bathroom we did the cardinal sin of painting of merely taping over the outlets/towel holders/etc.. we didn't strip them down to the bare bone hardware and tape over that - so then when the tape came off.... so did the paint near and around. Also there's always those few spots with holidays that I'd like to cover up... and then of course the dreaded spots on the tile or ceiling that I'd like to clean off where paint shouldn't be. So that's my goal to complete a little touch up paint in the bathroom. I'll post some before and after pictures at my next goal.

GAM '09 - February Edition
Ok! January is done and over with! My January goal was to get my Etsy shop Ace Quilting stocked with some inventory and up and running - and I have done a fairly decent job at that to date. I hope to keep up with the progress of getting things posted and more importantly sold! :)
February's goal for Vermillion Rules! has been set and now it is my turn to set my February goal! After much thinking and contemplating - I've decided that my goal for February 2009 is to get my closet organized and get all our clothes put away! Now it might not seem like that excitable or challenging of a goal, but if you recall these pictures you can only imagine what the closet itself looks like - it's far worse. I'll get a before picture up soon - or perhaps I'll save it for the grand finale in March :) Suffice it to say it will be anything but an easy task 1) because there's a lot of clothes and 2) I've already exhibited very little motivation in this department. So we shall see!
Happy Ground Hog Day, everyone! That hog better figure out that winter is over because I am so done with snow around here it's not even funny.

GAM '09 - January Edition
GAM '09
While I am not one for an entire New Years resolution, I thought that this challenge would be a good one as it is a month by month situation. Vermillion Rules! set out the challenge to post a goal for the month of January. But as she mentioned establishing that goal is time consuming!
So for the first month of this new year, I think I'm setting my goal to be to get my Etsy shop up and running. That involves primarily creating inventory!! I've created an Etsy shop back in November - Ace Quilting - got it all ready to go with the full intentions of having inventory for Christmas - well that did NOT happen.
I have made significant steps in the last few days for some of my products: lavender eye pillows and sachets for your drawers and closets. I've procured the lavender, flax seeds, and fabric... now I just need to get sewing. I find this to be a worthy (and hopefully) profitable by at least a $1 goal for January!
Before: An empty shop!
After: Links and listings hopefully to accompany my February edition!
