What I Wore Wednesday - Playing Catch Up

So between getting sick (and the whole family being sick and I mean the whole family including my parents and brother), then having no Internet for almost a week I am finally posting my pictures.

So I am getting more active as my leg heals but not as creative as I use to be so I do still have lots of time on the couch creating away.  You can check out all my projects  here where I hold myself accountable on a weekly basis and post my pictures on facebook and twitter daily. 

 

  As with previous weeks I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy , and the Transatlantic Blonde.

Before Christmas

Earrings and necklace - Forever 21

Sweater - Lane Bryant

T-shirt - Walmart

Flower pin - Made by me

Belt and pants - Penningtons 

 A trip to Brickworks

hat and cowl - made by me

jacket - from a friend

Here are some pictures of the kids from the day and my brother, he is visiting from Vancouver. After 11 years he came home for a visit.

Christmas Rock Monkey and myself got really sick, my father and brother were already sick at this point. There wasn't very many pictures but here are a few of the kids.

The top picture is from Christmas Eve, in the Polish tradition we open the present then. In our house we open presents many times. On Christmas Eve the kids open presents from their grandparents and my cousin and the pj's we get them every year. Christmas morning they get to open their presents from Santa (the bottom pic is the tree in the family room where Santa leaves his presents because that's where the fire place is), when everyone else is up and over we open stockings and after breakfast the rest of the presents get opened. It makes for a nice pace, no one is overwhelmed with all these presents at once.

And I took a side view to show how long my hair is getting. I can't believe it's like mid back when not in a ponytail. For most of my life I had a pixie cut so having long hair is way out of my element and I am enjoying it right now.

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

What I Wore Wednesday

So this pictures are the last of me rocking yoga pants on a daily basis to accommodate the brace. I was given the ok today to stop wearing it on a daily basis and just use it for sports now.  It will be a relief to wear what I want to wear (now let's see if my clothes still fit).

Still spending most of my time either with my leg propped up on the couch means I can work on all my creative projects. I have a huge to do list for the recovery. I think it's bigger then what I have time for but it's all on the list. This past week I finished up  a custom order,and some Christmas presents, lots of crocheting.. You can check out all my projects  here where I hold myself accountable on a weekly basis and post my pictures on facebook and twitter daily.

What I Wore Wednesday

Well it's week 2 back at work and I am still stuck wearing yoga pants accommodate my brace. My outfits are not so fun. I can't wait until I can wear normal clothes again and get dressed up. It's been 6 weeks of yoga pants.

Still spending most of my time either with my leg propped up on the couch means I can work on all my creative projects. I have a huge to do list for the recovery. I think it's bigger then what I have time for but it's all on the list. This past week I finished up  a custom order,and some Christmas presents, lots of crocheting..

I also shared the details to Monkey's Rainbow Art Party and celebrated her 8th Birthday.

 Saturday - Monkey's Birthday

 So my cousin and her family came over for a pizza dinner (birthday girl's request) and to help make Monkey's day special.

Dress and cardi - Target

I tried a second time to make the bow in my hair. It's really hard to do by yourself when you can't see behind you. I think I need to try this when I have an extra set of hands around to help.

The birthday girl with yet another cake (how lucky can she get?)

Monday - work and Advent mass for the girls' school

Sweater- Lane Bryant
t-shirt - Walmart
flower pin - made by me
belt and yoga pants - Pennington's

Monkey at the mass, she was singing in the glee choir.

Tuesday - work

sweater - Lane Bryant
yoga pants - Addition Elle

I know my outfits are so fun and inspirational right now.  You know when you wish you could wear yoga pants all the time and how awesome that would be. Yeah, not so awesome when it's your only choice, you get sick of it fast. Next week I go back to see the surgeon and should be told I can get rid of it.

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

What I Wore Wednesday - Christmas Market

So this was my first week back at work. Adjusting to it  but it was sooo much nicer being home. 

Still spending most of my time either with my leg propped up on the couch means I can work on all my creative projects. I have a huge to do list for the recovery. I think it's bigger then what I have time for but it's all on the list. This past week I finished up  a custom order,and some Christmas presents, lots of crocheting..

What I Wore Wednesday - Christmas Pictures

So this is my last week at home, come Monday back to work, it will be a transition for all of us. The kids are asking me if I could stay home forever. It's heartbreaking but in order for us to live I need to work.  Doing prep work for Monkey's birthday party and being at home I don't have very many pictures.

Still spending most of my time either in bed or leg propped up on the couch means I can work on all my creative projects. I have a huge to do list for the recovery list. I think it's bigger then what I have time for but it's all on the list. This past week I finished up  custom orders, decorations for Monkey's party, lots of crocheting.. You can check out all my projects  here where I hold myself accountable on a weekly basis and post my pictures on facebook and twitter daily.

Saturday - Monkey's party

 So I didn't get an pictures of my whole outfit or my Pinterest inspired hair. The whole party was planned via Pinterest. 

top- Addition Elle

flower pin - made by me

skirt (not seen) - Lane Bryant

Here are a few more pictures from Monkey's rainbow Art Party.

 I made just about everything for the party, I designed the t-shirts the girls painted, I made all the pompoms, I made the rainbow cakes and cupcakes. It was a lot of work but a lot of fun.

 

 

Sunday - Christmas Family Pictures

flowers - made by me
dress - Target
sweater - Lane Bryant
belt - Penningtons
tights - Target
shoes - Walmart

I was trying to do peacock colours and to get everyone's outfits to co-ordinate. Muffin was suppose to wear a purple skirt but it was misplaced so instead ended up with grey and the rainbow t-shirts were also a last minute switch in for the girls. 

And I wanted to show off how awesome Rock is doing. He has lost around 250lbs. I am so proud of all that he has accomplished.  He has been very hard on himself lately because he's not loosing as much weight as he would like at this point. I wish he could see what he has accomplished.

And just to give you an idea of how far he has come this is last year's Christmas picture.

What a huge difference a year makes. Rock I am so proud of you.

So with half a week 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.
