Make N Tell for September
« on: September 03, 2009, 09:14:18 PM »
Thought I'd posted this here, but I guess I forgot:

I just saw Julie & Julia (which was completely adorable by the way), so I was ripe for the idea when I came across another blogger's challenge - make and blog about an item a day for the entire month of September.  I'm 2 for 2 so far, hopefully I'll keep the momentum up.

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

3 down, 27 days to go!

(and it figures, the only times I make a mistake in my coding are the times when I don't use the preview function!  edited to fix wonky link)

Thank you!

It's going to be interesting.  I'll be working on a few bigger projects interspersed with some things I can finish in a day, as there's some things that can't be done in one evening.

Thank you!  I've got day 4 up now:

http://dbvictoria.blogspot.com/2009/09/30-days-hath-september-day-4.html

Today was a bit of a challenge, because I'm about 1/2 done with a parasol, but no way was I going to finish it tonight, so I decided to string a pendant I've had sitting around for months, put together all the supplies I needed for the task and then couldn't find where I just set down the pendant.  So I picked another piece instead - luckily I'd already been thinking about what to do with that one for the last week or so.

Good luck with your item a day, that sounds like lots of fun. I like what you've made so far, especially the vintage piece with pearls.

If I was settled into my new place I'd give it a shot to. (These things are always more fun with others participating.)

There's some pieces I can't do in a day, so I'm working a little on them and doing a smaller daily project each day as well.

I'm 17 for 17!  Actually considering trying for 365 in 365 just to see if I can.

Here's today's creation:
