What I Wore Wednesday - Having Fun

This week was pretty good for taking pictures. I also tried to have more fun with them this week.

This week was a rainy week so we spent most of the time inside and I worked on my projects. You can check them out  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 , Mama Go Round and the Transatlantic Blonde.

And the post is going up early today as Rock took Monkey and Muffin to gymnastics and I stayed home with Tutu and just hanged. I normally clean Tuesday nights when I only have 1 helper around but after the major cleaning I did on the weekend (cleaned, purged, organized and moved furniture) I needed a break.  I was still cleaning last night too.

Creative Journey - A Daily Dose of Creativity Week 14

So I am still down for the count, I have graduated from crutches to a cane but I still need assistance. My knee is still swollen and still can't be straightened out.  I am going to work early tomorrow so I can start physio so I'm posting this tonight.

That said when you can't walk you tend to have more time to work on projects, so that's what I did.

Monday

 I did a sketch, trying to figure out an inspirational piece

and I crocheted some more flowers for the girls' Easter dresses

Tuesday

Slowly adding more colour to my doodle

and more flowers crocheted

Wednesday

And more colour added to completion.

And a new doodle sketch started.

Thursday

Finished the doodle and added some pin backs to the flowers.

Started the baseball hat for my nephew.

all the flowers now have pin backs

Friday

It was a family affairs as we coloured Easter eggs.  Thankfully last year on clearance I picked up the spinner for dyeing eggs because it was the perfect mess free way for him to participate.

Worked on the hat in the car en route to visit family.

Made an inspirational mixed media piece (including my hear doodle) as a thank you present for someone.

Finished the hat (minus the embroidery) but released the hat will be too big for my 7 month old nephew (even though he's wearing 12-18 mos clothes) and will give this hat to Tutu but start making a new hat in hopes of finishing for the next day.

Saturday

The finished piece

The second hat being worked on

Sunday

Working on the second hat,I had to do some ripping up because it was still turning out too big.

Here are the girls in their Easter dresses. You can see all the flower pins I made to dress up their dresses.

And here are some pictures of the kids in their Easter best. 

I hope that everyone had a creative week and produced a lot of stuff. Hope the upcoming week is as creative.

What I Wore Wednesday - New Year's

Happy New Year everyone. Hope 2012 is starting out great for you. I set my theme for this year, no resolutions for me. And started a new blog project. I hope that you can join me on Monday for my first linky party celebrating your creativity.

Due to the Holidays we've had casual weeks at work, it was nice break from routine to dress down but since I have more "work" clothes it's easier to dress up, even if it's only business casual.

This morning I am one tired mama, yesterday Tutu refused to nap for my parents which meant he passed out at 6:30, when he went down I didn't know if it was a nap or if he was down for the night. He did wake up at one point and came downstairs but cuddled up next to Rock and went back to sleep while I was reorganizing my craft room. He hasn't been feeling good and keeps waking himself up with his coughs so not good nights for me. And then this morning he had us up bright and early at 6am.

As with previous weeks I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy and Mama Go Round.

The girls also wanted to have their pictures taken.
Monkey is wearing a t-shirt from Children's Place and a skirt made by my mom and Muffin is wearing a t-shirt from Children's Place and a dress made by m mom.

 New Year's day, we spent a wet day at the zoo. With all the stuff we've gone through the last few years this was Muffin's and Tutu's first time at the zoo. Monkey was Tutu's age when we first went and got a membership.  The kids had a blast despite the pouring rain, that just made it more of an adventure.  Muffin didn't want to leave she was loving it, and Tutu showed us he knows a lot more words then he says at home, he was repeating all the animal names. My favorite was hip-po. He was too darn cute.
