Comments— Very smooth going this week. It is easy to maintain a project when you are not leaving the house. It is all clock work. I get dressed in the morning. Tripp takes my photo every afternoon, and then I post it on Instagram the next day. I know that I should actually be posting it on the day, but I like to think of it as Alaskan lag time. Back in the day, newsreels were delivered overnight to Alaska by plane and then broadcast the day after. I’m kind of doing the same thing. But the only people who know this are the half a dozen people reading this document. It is our little secret.

Comments— I have three comments this week. One, Kato, my orange cat, has decided that he is now participating the project. He runs outside with us and immediately works his way into the photo shoot. Two, I fully realize how knowing that I am going to have my picture taken every day has upped the maintenance and does affect what I wear everyday. Three, I feel on top of this project right now and that always feels good.

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.
