365 Project updates

I've been working on a few different 365 projects.  I had never done one before so I guess I'm making up for lost time.


1. #Stitchaday


This is mainly on instagram and I blogged about it here.  As someone that deals with depresson I'm curious about the patterns of it.  January was a bit rough, but it's also winter in Chicago so really everyone is depressed right now.  :)

Every few days I add my progress on Instagram.  


Doing only one stitch doesn't bother me.  It's changing the floss color that bothers me.  :)



3. Mom's One Line a day.


This I have only missed once.  Before cross stitch there was crochet, before crochet, embroidery, before embroidery there was journaling.  It's very good for me. 




3. Cranes


I started the cranes as a way to bring a bit of luck and color into our home.  The legend says that the person that makes 1,000 cranes in one year is grated a wish by a crane.  I always wish on stars, eyelashes, (especially baby ones, I'm convinced those have extra special innocent wishing power) and 11:11.  I started on 1/18 and I need 3 a day.   I did 10 one night and the next day I won a giveaway on Instagram.  (Have I told you how much I love Instagram?)  That was proof enough for me. 


 In those days that you see a gray stitch above I likely didn't do any cranes.  As of today I have 29.  





4.  Wreck this journal.


I want to do exercises to be more creative.  That seems to always mean drawing.  I don't draw as much as I'd like to, I never took an art class in my life, although I do consider myself an artist.  Is that weird?  I'm intimidated by this project, which is why I got the book, but I can't just pick it up and do it.  :shrug:

Do you have any 365 projects or resolutions?

How are they going?
