above is a small selection of my outfits for the past month, the whole lot so far can be seen in my Year of Handmade flickr album, here…
So I’m halfway through my year, wooooot! I’m feeling so pleased with myself and how it’s all going; with the end of winter on the horizon I truly believe the most difficult bit is nearly over now and I’m REALLY looking forward to shedding some layers, getting into some warmer weather gear. I’m pretty bored with all my winter wardrobe – standard procedure for this time of year! even though I think the last month saw me getting more “interesting” in my wardrobe choices,discovering new combinations, and mixing and matching things up a bit. Anything to generate some excitement into the winter blahs.
Something funny; I’m still pretty shy about telling people in my real life about this project. Hardly anyone even knows that I’m doing this thing. It feels like a huge thing I’m doing in my life right now and for some reason I just don’t ever bring it up in conversation… like, on the weekend I met up with a bunch of old school friends and while everyone was talking about their kids and their lives and their own current activities etc, I just didn’t even mention the fact that I make all my own clothes. Not sure if it’s that I worry that people are going to think I’m crazy, or not normal, or a raving loony; generally I have always marched to the beat of my own drum anyway. Also, I’m often a cripplingly introverted person. This probably sounds counterintuitive, since maybe I don’t come across that way on my blog here… it’s different when you’re just tapping away on a keyboard all by yourself and it’s easy to imagine no one ever looks at it. Like, I talk about myself and my stuff here, but not really in real life. Weird, huh. Maybe I just feel like I get it all out here thus obviating the need to mention it for real. Ha!
