I signed up for the email with more information about the 100 Day Project and I got a link to some
interviews with the person who inspired the project, Michael Bierut, and some people who have completed the project in the past. This year is the 5th year. If you only listen to one, I think the one with Michael Bierut is interesting, and maybe it will inspire you?
So, I sort of decided on a project. Ha! Actually I had a hard time deciding, so I picked two things and they are both way more open ended than they should be.
. My goals are (1) to create every day, even if it's just for 10 minutes, but with a goal of at least 20 minutes. I'm emphasizing crochet. I have some projects that need finishing, and some waiting to be started. I figure if I crochet every day for 20 minutes, I have to get better, right? Also, I have a few Craftsy classes waiting for me to watch, and practice. Also, I know I will be away for some of the days and crochet is pretty portable. I'm counting stamping too, if I stamp rather than crochet. (2) do something outside every day, strive for 20 minutes.
How am I doing? Well, it is Day 6 for me.
Outside -
I've already let the outside slide, unless I count walking the dog at night, which we do every night! The first few days I deadheaded some hanging geraniums and cleaned up some other plants, and watered. I hope to get back on the band wagon and get out in the daylight and make some improvements to the yard, or just pick up and water.
Create -
I added a crochet edge to a flannel, hemstitched baby bib. Yay! I ordered the bibs 4 years ago
. I have 3 more bibs waiting for crochet edges. Today, I haven't crocheted yet, but I did stamp a SU lavender stamp with multiple inks and techniques. I borrowed the stamp from a friend and wanted to return it today.
I'm keeping notes on my project in a little notebook. I am not personally posting on Instagram, at least not yet, because I think some of my crochet will be gifts that I don't necessarily want to be seen.
I listened to the interviews I linked while I crocheted, which was nice. I will probably watch youtube videos or Craftsy classes in the future.
Anyone want to jump in? You can start your personal 100 days any time.
