Creative Journey Week 43

I can't believe it's believe I've been doing this for over 40weeks, it all started here.  I have been doing at least one creative act everyday for over 40 weeks now.  There has been days when I haven't taken a picture of what I have done every day but I have been creative. 

So Thursday was my surgery, it almost got cancelled but the surgeon fought for me and I went in for surgery late.  I don't normally react well to anesthetic so it took me hours to recover. I went in for surgery at 3:30 and we didn't leave the hospital until after 9:30pm. Poor Rock, it was a long day for him.  I am doing ok, resting and resisting the urge to get up and go. Working on projects but not completing them as fast as I would like.  Ha ha, I guess I should give myself a few days to recover.

Theses are some of the things on my to-do list over the next few weeks; Halloween costumes,  birthday invites, creative activity for the party, loot bags,Christmas cards, get my Etsy shop up and running, new blog, Christmas presents, inventory for the shop, sew a new purse etc. See big list, let's see what I actually get done.

 If you want to see what I am up to on a daily basis you can check me out on facebook or twitter.

Tuesday

Almost done making a second hat for Tutu

Wednesday

working on the hat in the car on the way to work.

The girls got invited to a birthday party on Saturday so they asked me to sketch them something to colour for the cards.

Thursday

I had finished Tutu's hat and forgot to take a picture of it. I started this hat when my surgery was originally scheduled and by the time I got called it I had almost finished the hat minus about 5 rows.

Friday

Tutu spent the whole day beside me watching over me. He played with the ITouch while I crocheted.

The 2 finished hats

Finishing off the scales for the girl's mermaid costumes. So behind on the costumes this year. Life has gotten in the way.

Made and added a flower on the hat and were giving it as a present for the birthday party.

Started on a new hat.  My friends are worried I may run out of yarn the next few weeks.  Although I did make my mom go out and get me some mustard coloured yarn so I could make myself a cowl at some point.

Saturday

Not the best picture of me but this is where I am spending my recovery period, usually with all 3 monkeys in bed with me. 

Progress on the newest hat

The finished hat.

Sunday

Started on a new hat for some custom orders.

Halloween costume central, my mom and I trying to figure things out.

I had crafters ADD and 4 projects on the go. I was waiting for my mom to sew things on the machine and bring them to me so I could work on the next steps. 

Progress on Tutu's dinosaur costume.

I guess I got a lot more done then I thought I did. 

I hope everyone had a creative and productive week, and the upcoming week is as productive and creative.

Creative Journey - A Daily Dose of Creativity Week 34

I can't believe it's believe I've been doing this for over 30 weeks, it all started here.  I have been doing at least one creative act everyday for over 30 weeks now.  There has been days when I haven't taken a picture of what I have done every day but I have been creative. 

This week wasn't so good in terms of productivity but once we hit the cottage on Friday I got a lot done. Monkey was so happy to have some time to raft with me.  I didn't do much work on my business plan this weekend. Just working on product prototypes.

Saturday - another big crafting day for us.

 We went to the Farmer's Market in town and picked up needle felting kits, the girls and I had fun working on them but the needles kept breaking on us. We broke 2 needles within 15 minutes of working on the kits and had to drive back to town to buy some more needles from the vendor. The 3 birds never got finished and 5 needles were broken. We will have to pick up some more felting needles.

Started a hat for Tutu

Creative Journey - A Daily Dose of Creativity Week 17

Still not doing much stuff on the physical front. The  knee is still swollen and sore but a bit better. I have to wait 2 weeks for the results from the MRI. At physio this week I started doing shuttles to strengthen the muscles around the knee.   Still spending lots of time on the couch but getting more active.

 I spent Saturday mornig walking around at the Creativ Festival. I used all my birthday money to atock up on supplies. I spent a bulk of my budget on fabrics. But I also got some yarn and stamps and scrapbooking supplies.  I was hoping to get some pictures today and post about it but with 3 kids being sick that didn't happen. Muffin caught this virus first and has been fighting it for more then a week. Friday Monkey came home from school with it but it didn't hit her as bad as it did her sister and last night Tutu got it. I was up in the wee hours of the morning with him and his fever. Not as bad as it was 2 weeks ago but enough to bother him so he wasn't sleeping.  Hopefully tomorrow I will get a picture, if not it probably wont' happen until next week as I need to get the house ready for my FIL's visit. He's coming up Friday and staying for 6 days.


Monday

Adding to a  sketch

And colour was added to finish it.

 Tuesday

Starting a dish cloth

Starting a new sketch

Wednesday

working on the inspirational sketch some more.

Thursday

and it's almost finished.

Friday

Sketching out ideas for a project I hope to put in my kitchen.

And some doodles.

Saturday

Started working on a baby blanket but I scrapped it . I didn't like the way it was turning out. 

So instead I started working on a ruffle scarf with yarn I picked up in the morning.

Sunday

Tried to finish Monkey's maxi dress but I ended up break the thread again and put it aside again.

n

So I started working on curtain's for Monkey's room. I had to go out today to buy the material because Lord know I didn't buy enough yesterday at the show.  My FIL is coming up for a visit on Friday and will be sleeping in Monkey's room and the blinds that are in there now suck. So I'm hoping to have them done before then.

And I worked on the scarf some more.

And started pinning the hem on one side of the curtains. 

I hope everyone had a creative and productive week, And the upcoming week and  as productive and creative.
