Creative Journey Week 50

The year is winding down fast, I can't believe there is just over 2 weeks to go and we're at 2013, it's almost a year I've been doing this.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. 

This week, was definitely not as productive as I have been, simply because 8 hours of my day are taken up with work. But  I still managed to get a few Christmas presents done.

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

Creative Journey Week 48

The year is winding down fast, I can't believe there is less then a month to Christmas and almost a year I've been doing this.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. 

Well my stay at home recovery period is over, tomorrow I go back to work.My productivity will go down for sure.  My to-do list for this recovery period was huge and a lot got done but not everything that I wanted.  There are things that never got touched. My blogs were part of that. I had hoped to work on them both a bit but I just didn't feel up to it. Maybe once Christmas is over I will get that spark back.

This week, I finished a custom order hat and finished a couple of Christmas presents 

I have no clue what will get done this week as it's going to be an adjustment for all of us. The kids have been asking me not to go back to work and stay with them. I wish I could do that for them, for us.

Pictures from the SLR of the completed hat.

Started on a cowl for me, my mom picked up this yarn for me just after my surgery and I wanted to play with it. I wanted to make a cowl.

Thursday
Working on the cowl at physio, I ran out of yarn and had to wait until I got home to work on it some more. When I was making it I realized I made it slightly too small for me, so instead it's for someone on my Christmas list I was making them a cowl anyways.



and finished the cowl

Friday
Started on another hat for another Christmas present

Saturday
Tutu fell asleep in the car on the way to Church so I sat int he car while he slept and worked on the hat.

So this will probably be the end of all this productivity. I just won't have the time to complete projects like I had now.

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

Creative Journey Week 47

The year is winding down fast, I can't believe there is less then a month to Christmas and almost a year I've been doing this.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. 

Recovery is going well but I do spend a lot of time seated. I was able to get rid of the crutches but the brace and I are still friends for a few weeks.The good news is this week I was able to fit into my custom brace. It makes life so much easier.

  My to-do list for this recovery period has these projects on it; 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.

  Last week I completed the a custom order hat and started another one, I finished the hat part for my Godson's present. Lots of party prep for Monkey's party. For some reason blogging is very low on my priority list. I'm so sorry but I just don't have the spark for it.

  This week I will be focusing on Christmas presents, Christmas cards, and maybe some blogging.

Wednesday









For many, many hours I worked on baking layers for a rainbow cake and tie dye rainbow cupcakes

Thursday
At physio working on another custom hat

cutting out cupcake wrappers with my new Circut

More decorations cut with the Circut




Stacking and dirty icing the cake. I hated working with the white cake it just crumbled, I lose so much of the cake, it was badly misshapen.  I had friends who told me to throw out the cake but I knew I could make it decent. Not my best work but presentable.

Friday

Skittles made the cake look decent and brought the rainbow theme out further.

And I iced the cupcakes


And I finished the last of the 3 custom order dinosaur hats. I think they look so cute.

Saturday


The party set up. It was an art themed party. 

Not a creative act but one of my best projects to date, the Birthday Princess



The girls being creative


The completed cupcakes inside and out

My rewards after a long day (2 parties) my feet up, ice on the knee, watching TV with Rock and some crocheting.
Sunday
Today we did our Christmas family photos and here is a sneak peek at my loves

Crocheting, while uploading the pictures on the laptop and checking Facebook with the desktop.

So I have one more week at home before I go back to work, I still have lots I want to accomplish and don't know how I will adjust to not being as productive after that.

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