A creative challenge I've set myself. Can I take a picture every day that says something about me - my life, my art, my friends.
Will I last a year or will I lose interest after the first few weeks?
There's only one way to find out.

Day 22
This is a picture of the baby blanket I'm making for a friend of mine. I've used navy fleece and acid bright felts. All the shapes had to be hand sewn (I'm OCD about having even, obvious seams) and then finished it on my machine, but she'll have a gift that will make her smile.
Nice thing to do - my niece still has her baby blanket my mum made for her on her bed, and she's 10 now. I think it was an excuse for mum to do a bit of patchwork and embroidery though!
This blog's really nice btw Hottie, it's like flipping through student's sketchbooks.
Thank you. I loved the idea of her having something unique that she'll get alot of use out of. It was a bit of an excuse to play!
Thanks for the general blog comment - I like how the images kind of fit together (unintentionally). Some of these will undoubtedly be used for a project. Theere are some ideas bubbling away.
I'm a freelance hand knitter and designer. I design samples for sale as well as finished garments. I also write patterns for other knitters to work from.
I love to explore what textures can be created by stitch and material and that can inspire a more sculptural side of my work.
