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—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– 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. The weather shifts wildly out here and the garments I have made are not necessary meant for bush living, but it is what is. Sunday marked the 150th day of this project. WOW.

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.

COMMENTS
I am surprised in some ways by how long it took me to finally catch up on the documentation of this project. If I had my way, I would sew and sew and sew clothes. Lately, I like to make a new piece and then sew pieces that work with the new piece, so that a complete outfit evolves from the first decision. For example, I make a tunic and then I make the tights to go with it, and they both work with the new scarf I just finished. This is different from the beginning when I was really making things because I did not have them. For example I needed to make pants. Now, I have pants so I can be more creative in my making decisions.

COMMENTS
This is the week I figured out that I need to be taking my photos on the ROAD. I realized this on DAY 102. The flipbook I eventually want to make needs to have the same background. I started out with a background that was close to our house and covered in snow. When the snow melted, I realized it was not a back drop that I could use. It is big huge bummer, but once I found the road, I knew that was the location. It is going to be a much better final 365 day composition. What a painful realization.

COMMENTS
This week is a re-enactment week. In reality at the the beginning of this week, I was Florida. On the beach of Fort Lauderdale. I am struggling with how to be accurate in my documentation while I travel. But there is also a part of me that wants these things to be a constant—I document the clothing in the order that I wore it and in the exact same location every day. I have my reasons for doing that will be a part of the big TADA if I ever get there.
