I made it one year with a daily creative act. Except for one day when I was very sick, I created something for 364 days. This post is a bit late but between 2 nasty bugs in our house and our internet going down I am only getting to this post now. I trust everyone had a an amazing Holiday Season and celebrated with their families.
Even though the year is done I think I will keep up with the act of creating daily, it was a lot of fun, very productive and provided me with blog posts. If you want to see what I am up to on a daily basis you can check me out on facebook or twitter. I am also on Instagram now you an find me under @aniaspassion.

And because I hadn't done enough started on another hat before I crashed.

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.

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
The completed cake, inside and out

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.
