Ideas are flowing

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!

It occurred to me

That last year, when one of my friends was having a garage sale, there were FOUR boxes of crafts that she did not sell.  Guess what she did.  Go ahead, three guesses and the first two don't count.  She gave them to me. FREE.  I see quite a few trinkets being born from those boxes. 

I haven't looked in those boxes now for a few months, far long before even hearing about this wonderful challenge that I have accepted. 

One of my friends ( geordannahdesigns.blogspot.com )  that is doing this challenge as well, has announced that she will be giving some of her trinkets away.  I think that is a FANTASTIC idea! I'm hoping in making that offer as well, she will not be offended but rather flattered that I love her idea. 

Glorious box 1 *grins* And that is just the top layer of goodness!
