Last week I wrote of daily creative acts and how I’d like to keep tabs on them the same way I’ve been keeping up with having fun getting dressed through my ‘Fit Pic Friday posts. As I wrote in “Why ‘Fit Pic Friday?”, I don’t see myself as much of a fashion person, I just like putting together my often thrifted and vintage clothing finds in creative ways and weekly sharing is a fun way to keep myself committed to the challenge.

I’m feel that if my consistent weekly post is about fashion, it’s too much of a focus on the blog as a whole. So I’m going to loop those fashion pics in with small creative tasks I’ve progressed with through the week. That’s what they’ve always been to me, after all.

Blog Posts

In case you missed it, this week I shared about:

• Unfinished Paintings
• How to get through Chaotic times
• Uterus snowflakes and everyday creative acts
• My carnivalcore dining room with a pool table

Aside from those published, I was generally all over the place with my writing. I have a lot of drafts I’m actively working on and it would have benefitted me to stay more focused on one at a time. Ten(!) drafts were edited in the last week, two of which are about Abundance and Food-inspired kitchen wallpapers.

Kid Stuff

It was my youngest’s 100th day of school! I didn’t have to buy anything to celebrate, we already had this wig that he didn’t wear when he was a mad scientist for Halloween.

Fashion Fun

Also: support an Etsy artist! The sweetheart candy earrings are from Elfie

I had a normal photo of this outfit, this butt pic was for my personal enjoyment…but my 5 year old said the other pic was ugly?? So here’s the floral pattern mixing from the back. Now you know why I have these pants in three different colors.

Art

This week I sat down and painted for the first time since Christmas day. I didn’t finish, but it was nice to sit down for a bit and give it a whirl. I’m hoping this weekly post will keep me accountable.

Creative Blocks

This week I had many! Calls to quickly get my child out of a program and into another, doctor’s appointments, repair appointments, lots of taxiing the kids around, three calls with a detective to ensure that our family did not want to press charges against a child that committed a crime against us, my husband started his new job in the city + had four evening events that had us both asleep after 11 at the earliest (thus wrecking my morning schedule after needing to sleep in), an endometriosis flare up…the whole shebang!

Pivots

• It will be helpful to have designated daily topics for the blog, so I won’t flit around between post ideas
• Stricter bedtime for me: book down before 10:30, no matter what
• A little daily sketch? Is that so much to ask?
