Thing a week?

I've been working on a Spring Summer Clean, going on a couple job interviews (retail work, for the holiday season for extra income), and I've gone into PCS a couple of times to help orient/train my replacement. Here and there I've been making this purse, (shown in progress), slightly adapted from this book. I've been collecting bits and pieces of fabric for a long time and I'd like to use some of them and the book has lots of bags and other projects, including some cute stuffed animals, so I'm ready if there is a baby shower :)

Since this picture, I've added the closures and gotten 1/2 through the binding of the top edge.  Mom, if you read this, I'm still using up that ultrasuede!

I think the next project will be a skirt. Then I really should get to the slip dress and skirt I said I'd make my sister. Unless I have a very boring Fall, that should be enough major projects to get me through to the holidays.

Thing a day-

Today (8/18) I uploaded a whole bunch of photos, created two new photo galleries, and filled in some titles and descriptions.

Yesterday (8/17) I spent an hour or two on a photo walk. Those photos are in one of the new galleries

8/11-8/16 -didn't do anything in particular

8/10 I made some designs in Photoshop. I keep thinking I should make a logo or some sort of image- Everyone says you're supposed to 'brand' yourself, so here are some variants on a theme. The idea is that I could put text in the white space and have the layered color frame it. I don't know quite what text to go with yet. 'LK designs' something like that? I like the gradation of colors in the green/blue versions, but I don't love green so I think if I still like the idea later, I should work up something in blues and in red/orange possibly.

8/9-I worked on another cover mockup, but I wasn't satisfied with it. I did re-teach myself how to make text follow a path, which I used to only be able to do in Illustrator. In general, I think I need more fonts.

8/8 thing a day

Today I revamped the 'Interests' section and uploaded photos. I should still do the editing on the titles and descriptions but I have to pick up some books on hold at the library.

8/7 thing a day

For Tuesday I'm posting these cover mockups.

             

Creative work Journal

While I'm working on finding out what the 'next thing' is for me, I'm going to do a 'thing a day' project. The plan is to do something creative each day, for at least five days of the week. Possible things can include anything from sketchbook work, sewing projects, taking photographs, working on the web page, jewelry, and so on. I'll also be working on logging the projects here.
To start, I've got a couple of photos from vacation in Atlantic City that I've been cropping and running filters on with apps on the iPod.
