I feel that October has been an epic fail kind of month! I had high hopes that Blogtober would get me back on track with daily blogging but it has not been the case. Life, or rather the ongoing dramas of a sick daughter, has had other plans. I usually do my crafting while Scarlett naps or is at school. She has not been doing either of those things since Tuesday so I have not been crafting.
I am determined that this needs to change. Hubby is off to Japan tomorrow night and I will be sole parenting until Saturday morning. Something has to give. I am going to set myself the challenge of finding 15 minutes a day this week to craft and see what I can come up with by Saturday. The 15 minutes will probably be dictated to by DVD watching slots as there is usually a half hour at least that I can do something else while Scarlett is engrossed in Cinderella or Nemo.
Who is in? I would love to see what all you crafty ladies out there can come up with in 15 minutes a day. I am sure I can find a prize to send to those who take part. Shall we say a $10 Studio Calico voucher?
I have managed to take a few photos of our self imposed exile this week.
While there has been a bit of cat chasing and table climbing there has been a whole lot more lying around listlessly and refusal to take even pamol to help take her temperature down. She is a stubborn wee thing!
I would love to see what you can create in 15 minutes a day. Please link up any progress shots in the comments below and I will be back tomorrow with what I create today. Good luck everyone!

Oh, I hear you! I was trapped under the baby today and we had the house to ourselves, so I thought I'd be able to get some crafting time in! All I did was reorganize my washi and glitter tapes into one of those 12x12 Iris boxes, which fits in the nice storage unit I bought used today. So I guess I got *something* done ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck. One of my daughter's favorites (the 3yo) is Cars. She can watch that movie over and over again...
Good luck grabbing some time Claire. Hope little Miss Scarlett feels better soon xx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry your sweet girl hasn't been feeling well, that makes it impossible to get any crafting or "me" time at all, doesn't it? I am not sure if I can get much done in 15 min, it takes me that long to get my head in the game, LOL!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I try to get some minutes in here and there when I can throughout the day!
ReplyDeleteI've been in a bit of a crafting rut lately and when I combine that with a lack of time (I have to sit and let ideas form in my head for a while before I can actually make something), it gets super frustrating! I totally know how you feel.
ReplyDeleteI quickly threw this card together hoping it would start the ball rolling again, it's not my favourite but at least I feel like I made something: http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/71889-cupcake-card I'm hoping to create something "better" if I can find another pocket of time.
Thanks for the challenge!
I always THINK I'll get stuff done that I NEVER actually get done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great challange - I have a LO started on our dining room table and should have no excuse not to find 15 min to play once the kids go to bed. Hope your little one is feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteOhhh yes, I can relate!! I am up for the challenge too. :) I hope I can get a good layout or two in this week.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you too!
I had a few minutes this morning before school drop off to come up with an idea (based on SC's Sunday Sketch) and mentally come up with the products I wanted to use. Then, after I put my son down for his nap today, I put it all together! Your challenge is motivating me to look for little pockets of time. Thank you!
