Here are a few of my favourites from the month of September… a self portrait in a reflection, my buzz saw quilt in action, glittery sidewalk and colourful natural dye pots.

I’m WAY behind on posting my 365 pictures. I’m still taking a photo a day, but have created a scary backlog of photos. I finally spent the day organizing things on my computer, sorting through a few months worth of photos and getting up to date.

August seems so far away, now that November is next week! I’m really going to try to make the next few months of photos really great. I feel like I haven’t been trying as hard recently.

Here’s a short list of things to take photos of and techniques to try before the end of the year – laundromat photo, photo of a someone I don’t know, freelensing, animal photo (not a dog), action shot & more shaped bokeh.

Where is the summer flying to? Must make sure to fit in more popsicles, ice cream and picnics before it’s too late!

I’m officially past the half way mark of this 365 project! I’ve been feeling like I needed to create a new challenge for myself with this project, so I’ve just ordered a new lens for my camera. It’s a Nikon 35mm f1.8. It’s my first prime lens and I can’t wait to get it this week! I’m always taking close up, detailed, macro-type shots. This should get me to step away from my subjects and get a new perspective. Also, maybe it will help me with taking more portraits!

It might seem like I’ve abandoned my 365 project, but I’m still taking a photo a day. I’ve just been a bit slack in posting them. I’m trying to get back into posting them up more regularly. I’ve added a button on the side of the blog to take you directly to the photo set if you’re wanting to take a peek at my photos there!

May 23, 2010 : first rhubarb from the garden

This rhubarb is the first thing I’ve harvested from our garden at home. I tried out this recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble and it is incredible. The topping includes oats, toasted pine nuts and a bit of black pepper! I didn’t have any Port, so I omitted that. I also substituted the special flours and sugars for the ones I had on hand. This is going straight into my permanent recipe box. Strawberry & rhubarb is probably one of the best flavour pairings, ever!

365 : APRIL

I’m trying to remember April as the month that I got my awesome new camera, and not the ‘other thing‘. Although I actually took photos for each day of this month, there are two that are ‘missing‘. I’m sure you can understand.

I’m heading out this morning on a little road trip with Jacqueline & Chris from Soak. We’re going to the Brimfield Antique Show in Massachusetts. (I like to say that word) I’ll be gone for a few days. When I get back I’ll have a bunch of things to post about, including my skateboard!

April 21, 2010 of 365 : laser cut triangles of muslin for my skateboard design

The Disposable Artshow is quickly approaching. I’m furiously hand sewing hundreds of fabric triangles together for my skateboard design. The auction will be taking place on Saturday May 8!

April 20, 2010 of 365 : wooden cross stitch pendant with variegated thread

I haven’t made any of these cross stitch pendants for a while, but I wore one the other day at the Spring Trunk Show. It reminded me of how cute they are. I love that they are like little blank canvases with endless possibilities. My simple zig zag design was made much cuter by the Valdani variegated pearl cotton thread I used. The pretty scallop of the pendant was designed by Andrew. It looks like a cookie and is by far the most popular design.

There have been much more clever designs made on them by Claire, Anabela, Emily, Katherine, Michelle and perhaps more that I don’t know about. Do you have one? I’d love to see it.

I’ve been thinking about laser cutting some more of these pendants, with a few new designs.

April 16, 2010 of 365 : my new kitty made by stitch face

I had been planning for weeks to buy myself a new bunny from Stitch Face at the Spring Trunk Show. Somehow this little cute kitty stuck out in the crowd and ended up coming home with me. I just couldn’t resist the grey plaid and crochet scarf. Her name is ‘Bunny’, so it actually works out!
