All my mind can concentrate on is producing these little trinkets of creativity for the next year. That is how my mind works, it gets excited, the creative juices flow and ideas begin to pop into my head. I often dream of projects that I am wanting to create specifically for someone. Several of the projects posted on my Facebook page have been from dreams. There are times when I crochet entire projects in my sleep so that I can wake up and actually make them. I don't use patterns, I really don't know how to read crochet patterns, I imagine I could, but then my creativity turns to student and I don't do so well. Not that I am not a good student because I am (I don't know everything, never will know everything, therefore I am still a student), it just zaps my ideas into a soggy piece of toast, and toast is not toast if it's soggy!
I also started my outline, just started it mind you. I figure with the next two days at hand, I can get that nearly fully developed so that I can print it out and mark items off as I go. SINCE my first project day is on a Saturday, AND my parents will be there (for at least awhile) I am going to make my grandson the first project. I will have time, I already have the idea, I have all the materials except for one (which I can buy tonight on the way home from work), and it is something that is not only functional but cute as well.
See, now I want to divulge details and NO..I mustn't because that is part of the surprise. I'm anxious to see everyone else's projects too. So far, there are 3 other people I am going to keep up with. If you have suggestions on someone else that is doing "Trinket a Day - 365" please let me know, I am interested in keeping up with everyone.
So then, I thought, really, are there rules for this challenge? Can you make individual little trinkets to make one final project (because I have several of those in mind as well, but I don't want to break the rules)... Someone let me know? :)
Over and out Buttercups!

I think the rules are up to your creativity and pocketbook. I have to remember to keep it to a trinket and keep it small so that it doesn't become a burden and rob my creativity. Looking forward to getting to know you through your expressions of creativity over the next year!
ReplyDeleteThank you sweetie... I also look forward to getting to know you through your expression. How can this not just make one's heart flow to the brim with excitement and awe.
