Life on the Farm: sketching

Sunday, December 9, 2012

The year is winding down fast, I can't believe there is just over 2 weeks to go 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.

This week, was definitely not as productive as I have been, simply because 8 hours of my day are taken up with work. But I still managed to get a few Christmas presents done.

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

Monday

The hat is almost done 1 more row to go. A Christmas present off my list.

Started on my 2013 calendar in my sketch book.

finished the present and started on a custom order.

More progress on the cowl

Friday

Still working on the cowl at physio

Started an inspirational doodle

Saturday

Tried to make a bow in my hair.

Worked on the cowl and finsihed it or so I thought.

Sunday

After sleeping on the issue, I decided that it needed a border for a more finished look.

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

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.

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.
