Creative Journey Week 51 and 52

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.

Most of the presents I made all together, some had already been gifted and one missed the photo shoot.

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

Creative Journey - A Daily Dose of Creativity Week 32

I can't believe it's believe I've been doing this for over 30 weeks, it all started here.  I have been doing at least one creative act everyday for over 30 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 wasn't bad in terms of productivity. There was some really productive days and some not so much I am trying to juggle creating while doing research and reading as well.

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

Monday

Working on the hat but it'll have to be ripped up as it's too small. The joys of developing your own pattern.

The hat needing to be ripped up a 3rd time, need to start writing down my patterns so I don't' have to reinvent the wheel every time. 

Tuesday

working on the hat while watching Monkey at gymnastics.

Wednesday

Progress on the hat

Thursday

Worked on a new sketch. Overall I hate it but I like individual elements from it. 

Progress on the hat. Working on the ribbing, almost done.

Friday

Started a new sketch

Finished the hat and worked on the ears and the beak.

Saturday

Finished all the features and sewed everything on but the ears.

Sunday

Spent the day today cleaning, purging, organizing and moving furniture so not much creative stuff got done. Tried to sew on the ear but it didn't turn out right will try again tomorrow when I'm in a better mindset

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