"what could you do with 100 days of making?"

Hi.

Today is the first day of #The100DayProject. You can read about it here. I'd thought about participating in it each year the annual challenge popped up on my radar. This year a few our our kids will be participating and Hannah said, "OK Marmie, time to move from thought to action!!! Can be so small and simple."

I still have not decided what to do for 100 days. Here are some of my ideas...


  • Collect 100 quotes, write them on small squares of paper and mount them on paper, so that I'll have a poster at the end.
  • Create a stitched mandala, spending a minimum of 10 minutes a day on it. Open ended results...what will it look like if I just create as I go?
  • Make 100 little collages, choosing medium as I go. Paper, found objects, recycling bits and bobs?
  • Meditate. Clearly not a "making" project, but the discipline of every day is appealing.
Whatever I chose will need to be portable, as there will be days when I will be away from our bit of earth. I think having something cohesive at the end would be rewarding, so that's something to consider, too.

Two questions for you, dear readers:
  1. Are you thinking of participating this year? What might you try to create?
  2. Do you have any ideas  or challenges for me? I am open to suggestions.
I have decided not to post publicly with the hashtag on Instagram every day. Instead, I'll probably create a "mosaic" of photos, and post them every once in a while.

Once we all get organized, I'll let you know what my kids are up to with this project. It will be such fun to cheer one another along! 

Are you in?

  1. Hi Karen, I'm using Firefox as a browser to see if my comment will "stick"! Yes, I'm doing the project, a piece of stitchery every day. It's in the back of my mind every day and I really look forward to getting into it, but don't worry if I miss a day here and there. I love your ideas, Karen, and look forward to seeing what you come up with!
