Back to Life.. Back to Reality...
Yesterday was the first day back to school.
Yesterday I accomplished:
Deep cleaning my bedroom to get ready for a photo shoot in there.
That included scrubbing the floors. Hands and Knees style.
I canned 5 quarts of whole peeled tomatoes, my first batch, ever
I made a pillow cover and valence for my son's room out of thrifted mod animal fabric.
I worked on my next outfit for New Vintage
I started on and nearly finished a collage for my bedroom.
I finally got some overdue mail out.
I signed up for the "organic veggie box"
I filled out a ton of stuff for school
I worked on my next video
I am so relieved it is "Back to School"..
I feel like my old self again.

oh my goodness. you are an inspiration! look at all that creative energy you had stored up and WOOSH! amazing.
oh my lordy, lordy!
I DON'T EVEN HAVE any kids, and I don't reckon I could do all that, even if I was given a month to accomplish it!
Do you take Vitamin B injections?
Or perhaps a more sinister substance?
OHMYGOSH ALL THAT SCARES ME.
Freefalling,
There was a certain amount of caffiene involved..
PKM..
Don't be afraid. It's only me... and I slacked off quite a bit today.. ;)
Amen! I felt exactly the same way! Felt like I accomplished more before lunch than I usually do all day! Yeah school!
How fascinating -- I watch my friendswithkids experience the same phenomena. School makes the world a better place -- children get educated/ art gets made/ chores get done / and we, the childless get to spend more time with you our em ur childful(?) girlfriends...
Generally a lurker who really enjoyes your blog.
Craft On! Melissa
Lindy sez: Hello?? a photo shoot in the Bathroom??? Can't wait for that post!! What will Bitter Betty be wearing next???
Beautiful collage! We should go on a another escapade soonest, restoration of status quo and all that.
I'm totally diggin' the pillow/drape fabric. Animialtastic! The collage is super-wonderful, too. :)
Canning tomatoes is such a chore...that's why I let my husband do it!
That is exactly why I can't wait for back to school too (well, back to preschool that is).I have a whole list of projects waiting too!
Enjoying your blog!
Next week for me. Oh boy am I excited to have that time back.
You totally rock! (Oh my god, how eighties can I possibly get?)
I'm so excited that you're venturing more into canning. It's so satisfying.
What's this photo shoot all about?
great collage!!! makes me wanna go home and pull out the paper and paste.
Good lord, you rock! I am simultaneously inspired and overwhelmed by what you got accomplished. Must go wash a dish now...
dang, that's a lot!
wow...I thought I was doing good just getting a few phone calls made & some new items in the shop! Must increase productivity :D I'm inspired, in awe...you are one motivated mom! ...I should get back to work!
hot damn, i need both of my kids healthy and in school, obviously.
Um, will you share this stuff you're taking? :D
Wednesday was back to school for us--but as our kiddo is homeschooled, it doesn't have quite the same results around here.
Bravo you!!
Amazing high fives to you!
So much done! Love the collage and love your anatomy art,isn't that little lady called sweet sue,or am I imagining that?
More inspiring than any craft photo ever! Your checked off to-do list is getting me psyched for the go get 'em energy that fall brings to me. Thanks for the kick in the butt - I'm going to make my own list now.
is it hard? canning tomates? that must make for yummy sauce though, which would be worth it...:) glad to see you're keeping busy - I was very sorry to read about your kitty, hope you're feeling better :D
Wow!!! Pretty impressive body of work! I want to can tomatoes, but that whole botulism thing scares me. I should just do it. Vicki at Hollyhocks.typepad.com
Blimey, I feel tired just reading about it!
Well done you - that collage especially is grrrreat.
