365 | little home by hand

A good month looking back at it.
Settling into new routines and old ones.
Making resolutions and making an effort to keep them (doing pretty good so far actually).
Pausing to savour precious moments.
Decluttering our apartment (still going strong there).
Resting and making and planning.

Project 52 is working great for me so far. I usually end up with 2 or 3 photos that I like per week and I am keeping up with the little descriptions for them as well. I think it works especially well for the winter months because during the week there just isn’t a lot of time and light for photography. Now I realize we’re only a month into this project but I have a good feeling about this for the rest of the year 🙂
How’s it working for the rest of you who are trying this?

Inspired by Julie and Jaqui I too am now doing Project 365. When I first read about it I thought it was a good idea but wasn’t sure if I wanted to try it. I didn’t want to feel pressured to take a photo every single day. I am feeling bad enough about not getting enough work done on my thesis day by day, I didn’t want to add the guilt of not having taken a picture.
I chewed on the idea for quite some time though and it grew on me. I looked through my photo folders and realized I was taking pictures nearly every day anyway! So surely the pressure wouldn’t be too bad, right?
I’ve been doing it a couple of days now and it has been so much more amazing than I imagined! Such an eye-opener, in every sense of the word. Instead of feeling pressured at the end of the day to just take a photo I find I am walking through the world with an open eye for beauty more than ever. I feel I finally SEE.
I had a long day yesterday, travelling 3 hours by car to a business meeting, sitting around there waiting for clients for 6 hours and heading back home. Still, yesterday’s harvest was bright and colourful and lovely and I can’t decide on a favourite at all:

If you’re thinking about doing Project 365 too, go ahead and jump in! You won’t regret it!
By the way, I am planning a major shop update over the next two weeks. I will be adding a bunch of lovely prints and maybe some sewing, so stay tuned 🙂
