Comments— I wrote a detailed blog post about how I am documenting this adventure. You can read it over on my regular blog Tales of a Stitcher. I did a really foolish thing the other day. I wanted to change the neck line on the grey tunic I am wearing on # 204. I chalked a new neckline, cut the old off, got distracted by my children, came back, sewed a new binding onto the tunic, but I NEVER cut the new neckline shape. In other neckline news, I did successfully change the neck line on my black t-shirt. Day #197 is the old neckline, and Day #198 is the new one. I am also a little miffed that our neighbors decided to build a back driveway on our road. I moved my photo shoot location to the other side of the road so that their red car won’t be in the photos.

Comments— I am back in Anchorage, and I did all of my laundery which is essentially everything I have made. I really only have a few true duds that I just won’t wear. There are a few that I wear and think, nope I’m not doing that again, but they are still in my closet. I have only given one piece of clothing away—the denim pajama bottoms which were so uncomfortable. The denim was way too thick for the pattern. The weather has been cool and cloudy which is really just about right for all kinds of clothing.

Comments— Well, the rains finally came, and considering we were about to all go up in flames from the numerous fires in our state, it has been a very good thing. Liquid Sunshine. Still, it is so much harder to dress for incremental weather. I better get used to it again, because it looks like the sun is not coming out anytime soon.

COMMENTS– I will say that after 25 weeks of this project, I feel like I have a pretty good handle on the thing. Today, I thought about how I should also be documenting the weather. Which I suppose I can try and do. I wish I had time to make new clothes as it is always fun to add something new to my wardrobe. I am struggling to keep up with instagram out in McCarthy. My phone’s internet is not reliable and that makes it difficult. But other than that, I am staying  on top of the documentation for this project.

COMMENTS—Well, dressing for sunny summer weather is so much easier than selecting garments to wear for icy temperatures or rain and drizzle. I really would like to add a skirt or two to my wardrobe. I only have three and they are getting very boring. I am doing a good job of not falling behind. The pain of going back and documenting weeks and weeks of work in May taught me a very valuable lesson. I am also trying not to be to precious about how I look. Yes. I do select what I consider to be the very best picture for the day, but I am often not happy with it. Documenting your 50th year day in and day out is often painful. I should have done this when I was 30!

COMMENTS— The light has been amazing. It was really beautiful on Thursday. Of course it is. It is Solstice!  I don’t have time to be making new garments, so I am back in that make do phase at least for the summer. I have three skirts and two pairs of shorts. But you know, it really is enough. Sure, I would like to look super fancy every day, but the reality is that we don’t look super fancy every day. In fact, I am still not over the fact that I don’t actually look the same every day. What is up with that?

COMMENTS– I am feeling better about the just roll with the flow aspect of the project. Every day I wear clothing I have made, and I try and find some one who will take my photo in the middle of whatever road I am on.

COMMENTS- Well, I have made it through another week. I have had an assortment of photographers which has been interesting. There is a bit of a problem with dogs showing up in the photos. I think have my McCarthy road spot figured out and now know how to instruct the photographer to simply position themselves on their spot and click away. My wardrobe could really use more McCarthy style clothes, but I am making do.

COMMENTS
The wild sunshine is making photography difficult. I have had that Lady Skater dress in my closet the whole time, but I am never compelled to wear it. I am not sure why. I made three new garments this week. A knit tunic and tights out of Chalk Line Knit from Marcy Tilton. I also finished another modified Rebecca Taylor t-shirt top out of a great multi-colored print knit. I am trying very hard not to get even a DAY behind in documenting this shit.
