What I Wore Wednesday - Recovery

I never posted last week as I didn't have many pictures and stayed up late finishing Halloween costumes for the girls. When you spend most of your days in bed there isn't much to take pictures of.

But a bonus of spending most of your time in bed is you tend to be very productive. I got a lot done last week, including Halloween costumes that took way longer then anticipated to finish. I also made a lot of crocheted flower headbands. I love how they turned out. 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.

Creative Journey Week 44

I can't believe it's believe I've been doing this for over 40 weeks, 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 I am recovery relatively well from the surgery, I was having a low grade fever for a few days. My antibiotics were extended and my follow up appointment with the surgeon was moved up to this Tuesday to make sure everything is ok. I haven't been as productive that I would like during this recovery period. I have gotten a lot done but not as much as I would have liked.

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.

From my to-do list I completed the Halloween costumes, birthday invitations and some stock made up. I would have liked to get my new blog up and running but my children are glued to me like stone and I'm not getting the alone time I need to figure this out.

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

Monday

Progress and completion of Tutu's costume

Working on loot bags with the girls to give away at school the next day

Mermaid tops for my 2 mermaids. I was up until 2:30am working on these, my poor mom was up all night finishing the mermaid skirts.

Wednesday - Halloween

The girls in their costumes before school, the Monkey's skirt was finished by 7am, now that's cutting it close.

Tutu's pumpkin, he piked out the design and I carved it

Working on the hat at the Dr's office

The kids before they went out with Rock, I was at the Dr when they left. I think Tutu's costume turned out cute, if not a little crooked. It was done on purpose, yeah that's it.

We only got pictures of 2 of the pumpkins outside because someone stole the 3rd pumpkin, who steals a pumpkin? Also didn't get a picture this year of the decor, it wasn't all out like I normally do but it still looked cool.
