I finally used the last page of my sewing journal that I had
used for 24 years!
I try to document each job and project I do.
Sometimes just what I did.
Sometimes I record measurements.
Sometimes I record tips.
In the back of the last journal on the last page,
I recorded Titles of Audio books
I listened to while working in the sewing room.
Ever since I was involved in
the Western KY University Writing Project,
I guess I have become obsessed with Journals of all kinds.
I keep another
that is like a Diary.
Actually comes in handy at tax time
when I need dates.
That old sewing journal,
has lots of memories
and records of Christmas Gifts over the years.
In 65+ years of sewing, I've never kept a proper journal. Until February when I got a new machine. Now retired, I have more time. I'm assiduously noting all I do. I listen to the radio too as I work. Thank you for the suggestion note good programmes ar the back of my little book.
ReplyDeleteI use my blog as my journal and I suppose I really should back it up somehow because no doubt it might disappear one of these days.
ReplyDeleteMy blog is another journal. When I need to remake something, I referred to my Blog Tutorials, because I don't get that detailed in my journal.
DeleteDid you know you can do a blog backup? Go to "Settings" in the left column, scroll down to "Manage Blog", Back up Content. I save in a folder inside my blog folder on my computer, and in the event my computer crashes, it's also on a memory card. So if someone hacks the blog, I hope to use the backup to reformat it all. Just guessing. The back up is just a bunch of html and knows where pictures are located. Therefore the file doesn't take up much space.
That's such a creative and smart idea!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had started this years ago myself. There are so many things that I've made over the decades that I wish I had written down. I started keeping a "brain tablet" as my cousin calls it, around the same time I started blogging. There are a couple of them now along with my blog, which like you, I use as another journal with pictures. I can't tell you how many times it has come in handy to figure out when something happened or how to do something (or not to do it that way). And thanks for the reminder to back up my blog.
