Hmm… not a lot of sewing done in July! Trying to change that for August.

In June, Maisy finished her treatments in Madison, we visited Chicago and finally came home to Toronto!
In April, we moved! Swoon quilt continued and the workroom had a table at the City of Craft Spring Show.
I’m catching up on posting my 365 calendars this morning. I use the 365 app on my iphone (pro version) and it makes it so easy to organize your project. I have a daily alarm set that reminds me to add a photo to the set at the end of each day. This has totally helped to keep me on track.
In March, we started renovating our new house and I started working on my Swoon quilt! March seems so far away right now.
This will be my third year doing Project 365. Everyday, I make sure that I take at least one photo. A big part of the challenge last year was keeping up with organizing and posting my photos. I still have a few months of photos to post for 2011!
This year, I’m working on two 365 projects. One with my DSLR camera and one with my iphone. The iphone 365 is so easy to do, especially because there is an app for it! Project 365 makes it super easy to organize your 365 photos as you go along. At the end of the month you can download the collage of all your photos. I love it.
If you’re on Instagram (I am make_something on Instagram), you may have noticed people posting photos all month with the hashtag #janphotoaday. Chantelle created a fun challenge that gives you a theme to use everyday. Happily she will be doing a new challenge each month. Here is February’s challenge. Having the daily theme keeps things really interesting and I love seeing everyone’s version of the same idea.
p.s. I just added ANOTHER photo challenge to my roster. This one is #febphotoskill. Check out the daily details here. You would think I had nothing to do all day, but these little challenges make me feel creative in the midst of my busy work days!

This year I’ve finally started taking more people photos. They need work and I’m still really shy about it, but it’s a start. I had a mission to photograph all of the workroom family and that has really helped. It’s just so much easier to take a photograph of a jar of jam!

Finally some more 365. I’m really having a summer of reflection, spending a lot of time looking back. I am constantly trying to make sure that I also don’t forget to be in the moment. Something with the moons and eclipses have been off for me in the last few months. So I am just trying to get through this funny time. I have high hopes for August and the fall, though!
You can see here that we were working on our online shop since March (and before). I can’t believe we started creating those floss palettes in March. It took so long to get it all together. This is the fun part now.
p.s. I really love looking at snowy photos in July.

I really like the look of February. Lots of stitching and quilting happening.
Here are two more photos of the same subject, different days. The second photo below is one of my favourites from this year.

I had some time over the long weekend to finally start organizing my 365 project for 2011. Wow, I fell very behind with the posting of these photos! It’s kinda fun to look back at the wintery first months of the year and see all the SNOW everywhere when right now I’m lying under my ceiling fan dreaming of ice cream and lemonade. (and ways to combine those two things)
One thing I love about 365 is the repetition and themes that evolve throughout the year. Looking back and seeing photos of the same thing or place from different perspectives is so fun. Just south of Bloor on Lansdowne I would pass by a building with bicycles all locked up to a railing in the snow every night on my walk home from work. I stopped on several occasions to shoot this spot even though it was usually pretty cold. (and also pretty late) I love the dramatic lighting, especially.
