100 possibilities

The Big Spool Photo Shoot

Back in February I told you about the 100 Possibilities photography project I am participating in.I've been going kinda slow with the project so I took the spool on our trip last week.Having the spool already IN the camera bag was very handy.Thanks to both of my sisters for their photo styling help.I think I'll keep the spool in the camera bag for a while. Look here to see the entire collection of photographs. 

100 Possibilities

I love my new "big girl" camera and am having a lot of fun learning how to use it. There are some interesting photography projects and challenges on flickr. I do have to be careful when I look on flickr because the next thing you know I have forgotten about the cookies I was baking or that it is time to pick up M from school.The 100 Possibilities Project really captivates me and encourages me to take pictures and try different things.  The idea is to choose an everyday object and take 100 photographs of it.  This large wooden spool is my object of choice.  Sometimes I feel like I get a good photo and sometimes I don't.Still, I try, and am learning things all the time.I'll be collecting my spool photos here on flickr.Have a look at some of these photo collections. This brown bowl was the first one I saw. I like that the photographer, Artsy_T chose a very simple and earthy object. She has started a second project with a frame. Both sets are very creative and artistic. Another one of my favorite 100 Possibilities projects is Prometheus by Kadewegirl. I am amazed by the different views and slices of one statue. I had a hard time choosing what object I would take 100 photographs of but settled on something small and portable that I had. I wanted it to be simple and adaptable to many settings.

This summer we watched my two oldest grand kids one day a week. Towards the end of the summer they started making projects on their own in the sewing room. They made lots of little projects from my scrap basket including pillow cases and tiny quilts
Here’s the layout with all but one block done. I’ll finish that last block when I get more of the baby poop green/mustard fabric. I put out the call and the internet provided! This top will be finished soon! This is a remake of an 1870s
I’m finally getting around to putting these stars together. I made the stars a few years ago and have been on the hunt for the perfect setting fabrics. These @carolynfriedlander prints are the perfect match for the 1800s reproduction prints in
