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—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 almost at the 100 day mark for this adventure. Too bad, I won’t be able to use the images in the final product because I did not understand how dramatically my background would change when the snow melted. That is what I get for starting a documentation project in the dead of winter.

COMMENTS
It is great to get some new clothes into the rotation. This week, I actually felt like my clothing made sense. I even repeated several pieces, but they look different paired with other garments. Things are coming together. I am kind of amazed at how different I can look day to day. If you want to follow the action day by day you can Instagram @talesofastitcher.
