A journal of my crazy desire to complete one craft or creative project every day for one year.

Packages, plans, and girly drinks

My big delivery from the company I represent arrived today full of goodies and treasures and lots of crafting opportunities and ideas. It's almost like Christmas! I can't wait to go through everything and start making a list of projects to create. I'm now ready to start presenting workshops and classes for friends and family and anyone else that comes along!

There are only a few days left to the launch of my 365 day adventure into the crafting world - I'm excited and nervous - will I actually find the time to finish something each day? What on earth am I going to bring on vacation to Cuba in January to complete each day for a week? Am I nuts?

The good thing is, all of my friends, family and coworkers are totally on board and think this is a great idea. With that kind of support, how can I fail?

Tonight is girls crafting night - we're making more pendants like the two I have pictures of on my flickr account. Have a look at the pictures -it's an easy project, especially with Cuban rum!

New Features

It occurred to me yesterday that there is really no way to prove whether I've completed a project or not each day - other than my word. While this is just fine for friends and family, others of you might not be so trusting!

So, I've started a Flickr account (365 Days of Crafts) where I will post photos of the projects as I complete them. There's a link to the photostream on the right hand side of this page.

I've put up some photos of finished projects I've had hanging around the house so there is something there for you to look at right away. I apologize for the fuzziness of some of the shots - I am a very amateur photographer, and had to borrow a camera to take these shots! Looks like one of my purchases in the not too distant future is going to be a camera of my own!

I finished the list of ongoing (and hoping to do) projects last evening and have surprisingly found myself low on a few supplies (yarn, ink for the printer, gift bags, etc.) so it's off shopping this afternoon! I'm starting to get really excited about this project, and hope someone out there enjoys watching the show!
