Absolutely no rug hooking done this week. However I did work on the website. Or rather my web developer did with my input. It should be fully operational now. If you encounter a problem please email me under the “contact” button.
I designed a pattern based on our travels in South Korea this spring, and put it on backing today. It is large – 36″ X 25″ – for me. I will have to do some dyeing for it. Probably tomorrow or next week sometime. I find my days getting busy now I’m back home and well again!
It’s come to my attention that my photos could use a bit more organization. To that end I spent considerable time today organizing them. I have them in three places, supposedly. Unfortunately, due to technological and human failure, I have some only in one place. I need to organize and rectify the situation.
How do you organize your digital photos?
I have thousands. Right now I set up a file system that starts with ‘Photos 2006’ and has folders up to this year. Inside each folder I have the year and month folders (eg. 2017 August). After that I tend to fall apart. Right now key events get their own folder in the year folder, among the month folders. For example, “2017 Sauder Village”.
This seems to be a good way to keep photos from getting lost. Unfortunately, I still have to use the search engine more than I’d like to find images. I need to get these labelled properly and under control.
I have close to 16,000 photos (including duplicates and edited versions). I’m looking for a good way to organize these so I’m not panicking whenever someone needs a photo of my work.
I plan on a working Saturday and taking a break Sunday. I hope everyone else has a great weekend!
hi Jean, love your new pattern design. When you figure out a way to sort your photos I will be very interested. I have about the same amount of photos and have a terrible time finding what I need. I have a Mac Air and I think some of my stuff got duplicated when Mac went from IPhoto to just Photos so it is very cumbersome. Enjoy your time looking at photos though. cheers, Susan Sutherland
Thanks Susan! I am thinking I will try some dyeing today. We’ll see. Spent most of last night coughing. Maybe this cold isn’t gone yet.
