Day 29 of 2025
I have a hair appointment on Monday.
It's been a really long time since that happened last.
I am hoping for the best.
I'm hoping to at least get rid of the very thin ends.

Day 27 of 2025
It is very hard to take a nice clear picture of a computer screen.
This is the best I could do.
The big question is do you know what this is?
So let's play What is it?

Day 26 of 2025
I'm making good progress on my current pair of socks.
I have more blue stripes to work as I finish the feet,
but I have a limited amount of the blue yarn in my bag.
To be fair, I know I have more in my yarn stash,
but I'd like to only use what is shown here.
I have a plan to stretch this to make it work,
but it will still be pretty iffy.
I suspect I will be playing the tricky game of Yarn Chicken.
You are right, Joanne.
The answer to Where am I?
is the car wash.

Day 25 of 2025
Here's my new makeshift set up for knitting in the evenings.
Since I don't have a table near enough to set the lamp on,
I am using my phone stand that I use for video calls
to hold up my little lamp by draping its neck
over the arm of the phone holder.
It puts a nice bright light in just the right place
to allow me to enjoy some knitting without major eye strain.

Day 24 of 2025
I last posted about this sock in July 2023.
I have recently picked it back up again.
It's going well and I am very motivated to get this pair done soon.
Black and white photo is warranted because the last time we saw this sock
I had not revealed the color of the heel,
but the gusset decreases are done and I wanted to share.
Color photos will come soon.

Day 23 of 2025
A long time ago I took a photography class for film cameras.
In class we made these reference cards to carry in our camera bags.
I know with all the light meters available to us on our phones,
it's not really needed anymore,
but I thought M might find it interesting
since she has taken up film photography.

Day 22 of 2025
This blue tarp is covering some boards
we intend to use for an outdoor project.
This squirrel has decided to rip it apart with his teeth and claws.
He ran off with his find and came back for more.
I suspect he is using it for some extra insulation
on these very cold days and nights.

Day 20 of 2025
The sweater is being photographed today.
I love these little buttons so I had to get a close up.
Below is a full picture.
I'll get it packaged up this week to send off as a gift.

Day 18 of 2025
This was one of my favorite rooms in the centerpiece house
at the Indianapolis Home Show today.
The basic color scheme of the entire home was blue and white
so it was hard to pick one favorite over another.

Day 16 of 2025
There is still no light so I took this first finished project picture
in the light of my sewing machine.

Day 15 of 2025
I finished two knitting projects today, but by the time I was done
the light was gone so photos will have to be taken tomorrow
if there is light.
I did find this funny though as I was finishing up some button sewing.
Evidently the end of these children's scissors
that I keep in my sewing kit is magnetic.
It picked up my sewing needle and a stitch marker all by itself.
I cannot explain it.
Here is a bonus picture from today.
Fireball alerted me that this was happening.
I thought you'd like to see it too.

Day 14 of 2025
I finally took pictures of color combinations I like
that are woven together in a rag rug I have.
Here's one of several.

Day 11 of 2025
I got this plant a couple years ago and it was blooming at that time.
This is the first time it has bloomed since then.

Day 9 of 2025
There is still no crafting happening,
but I got more pieces cut.
This bin looks like a container of fries.
I wonder how many items I will be able to make with this mess.

Day 8 of 2025
I didn't get to my crafty project today,
but I did spy this beautiful January sunset.
I also finished the red hat.

Day 7 of 2025
I made one decoration with these pieces
cut from cardboard tubes late last year.
I have now cut more pieces from more tubes I have collected
since then and plan to make them up tomorrow.
I'll show you if that happens.

Day 6 of 2025
It snowed all night and into today.
After it stopped I measured it (8 1/4") on our outdoor table
with one of my quilting rulers.
Below I've taken a wider shot so you can see
the impressive edge on the side of the table.

Yesterday was the anniversary of my dad's birthday.
Today, Fireball and I celebrated belatedly with cupcakes.

Day 2 of 2025
Thanks to M for showing me the light meter app she uses
for her film photography.
I'm using the same app here with my DSLR to experiment
shooting indoor, low light pictures on manual setting.
Above is my very overstuffed notions bag
that desperately needs a clean out.

Day 1 of 2025
Happy New Year!
I spent most off the day hanging out with family,
watching football,
un-knitting and re-knitting
