Photo a Day // January Catch Up

This year I decided to set myself two challenges; to learn how to sew and to enjoy photography again. David thinks I should have a hobby which isn't work (but work is fun when it's running JillyJilly). Anyway, the photography goal brought me back to the Fat Mum Slim Photo a Day project which (if you've been following us for a while you may remember) I did a few weeks of last year then life or something got in the way. This time I've already gone and completed January and now have a whole month of photos to show for it! I'm so excited about this but mainly because I have been enjoying photography again, getting the proper camera out and looking for my own ways to capture each day's prompt. Plus I've already started February so not giving up yet!

I've decided to keep a Pinterest board of all the photos too as although they are scattered around our Facebook and Instagram I don't want to overload you all with random photographs every day. If you do want to see the pictures with prompts, dates and captions you can do so below or here.

As for sewing, you might notice a couple of the photographs feature my first project! I made a little bow cushion thanks to Sew Crafty's adorable booklet which was in Simply Sewing magazine last year. I can't wait to get started on some more and am determined to make a JillyJilly fabric skirt eventually!
