Put some layers onto a portrait commission I'm working on....
Worked on this nursery painting.....
A friend came over and I helped her pick out some ribbon for a baby shower. She brought me a stack of t-shirts, yay!
Lunch: Cooked broccoli in the wok with garlic and soy sauce....ate with steamed rice and Diet Orange Crush in front of the computer while reading email.
Finished this nursery painting....
Worked a little on Sienna's flower girl dress. Trashed the instructions. Hand-stitched the lining while watching recorded Project Runway from last night.
Placed some orders and put together a stack of outgoing mail.
Washed and folded some new fabric:
Picked up Sienna from school. Went to the post office. Went "bird-watching" in the back yard.....
......and we practiced our photography. Sienna had a snack of cheddar goldfish and jelly beans which is all over her face.
Started dinner while watching Fox News and flipping through new magazines. Menu: taco salad
Sienna worked on a new sticker book waiting for Daddy to come home for dinner.
Now back to watching the news and hanging out with the family.....working on the zipper of the flower girl dress. I'm pooped..... Have a great Friday night!
OMG I'm exhausted just reading about all you've gotten done! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWowzers!! You got more done today than I have all week! I envy your focus:)
ReplyDeleteGood gravy! I hope every day isn't like this for you!
ReplyDeleteWay to get things done!! :o) I love that feeling!
Oh, P.S., I love that you trashed the instructions on the dress! That's so something I would do!
ReplyDeletei'd be pooped too!! glad you're getting things accomplished though!!
ReplyDeletebusy, busy!!! I love the little dress sienna is wearing here... I wish they were big enough for a 7 yr. old!! would it be cute w/some leggings underneath maybe???
ReplyDeleteI seriously cannot get over how much energy you have to do all that you do! It inspires me.
ReplyDeleteI made a very similar dress for A when she came out in my babysiter's wedding this summer. I also ditched the pattern! Made some changes here and there and walla! a beautiful flower girl dress.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
What a productive day!
ReplyDeleteIt's actually so refreshing to see another mom who can sew but not read a pattern. I can not for the life of me read tissue paper patterns but I can really sew. I make my kids clothes/costumes all the time with my own patterns.
ReplyDeleteaww man! Im pooped after reading that. time for bed.....
ReplyDeleteYour blog is one of my favorite "creative inspiration" blogs and now it's just gotten a little better because you watch Foxnews ;) Silly, I know, but totally made my day!
ReplyDeletethe painting is beautiful!! how on earth did you do the stitching on it though??
ReplyDeleteWow Ashley, you continue to amaze me. I only wish I could get as much accomplished in my day. As always thanks for your posts. I love reading them and they brighten up my day!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! What fun! I loved visiting! We call our little baby girl "Boo"! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day!
