Falling Behind

So I'm a little sad to say that I have fallen behind on my daily projects. It really takes a lot of effort to drive an hour to work, work for eight hours, drive an hour home, make dinner, go to the gym, and make something everyday! Let alone do anything else. I'm really happy I made it one month and I am going to try my best to make something everyday for a year still. Even if I just make something every other day or every week I think I am doing really well. The thing I have learned most about this project is that it's good to push yourself and its fun to constantly think creatively. I have a whole slew of ideas for some larger scale projects and I feel much more motivated than I did before I started this little journey. Hopefully I'll have a new project up tonight. Until then wish me luck!

365 days

I've wanted to take the time to do something creative on a daily basis for a while now. It's been hard with my long commute to work, one hour there and one hour back, but I finally found the motivation when I stumbled upon this book, 365: A Daily Creative Journal: Make Something Every Day and Change your life!. It was just the push I needed. I came home that night, February 20, 2011 and started with my first project.

I will share every one of my 365 daily projects with you here. I plan to photograph, make, sew, build, construct, or mold something every day for the next year. Getting started was half the battle, but already on day four I feel like I am thinking more creatively and opening up my mind to all the possibilities out there. I hope by the end of one year I will be filled with tons of creative inspiration, lots of cool projects to share, and a more developed creative mind.

I'll be posting my daily projects soon and I hope you will help me stay motivated and maybe even be inspired to start a year long project yourself.
