Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!  With a new year comes new crafty endeavors.  Right now, I'm considering several year-long projects which might mean I'm ambitious or crazy.  I guess time will tell.  I'll share them and then see what sticks.  No harm in trying, right?

First we have Iron Craft.  I did this last year and LOVED it so this will be a must.  However, this year there will be one challenge every two weeks rather than every week.  Much more manageable, right?  For those of you just tuning in, Iron Craft gives a theme each two weeks and you must complete a project in that time along the theme.  Projects are then shared in the group's flickr page. 

Second, I'm going to try a daily challenge with my 365: Daily Creativity Journal.  I bought this awhile ago but wanted to start at the beginning of the year.  Every day has a small suggestion to do something creative.  The author of the book started this by creating a skull every day using a different medium or technique.  I'm not going to follow a strict design theme, but want to use it as a way to challenge myself.  I'll probably do a weekly blog roundup of my week's progress.

Finally, if I wasn't crazy enough, I'm thinking about making a scarf.  I saw a post on Craft about someone who had knit one row of a scarf every day to match the color of the sky.  She posted a pattern online and invited others to try out the conceptual knitting project.  I like the idea and since I have little patience for knitting, maybe I will like only having to knit one row a day and the chance to alter my colors daily.  We'll see.  Seattle may give me a lot of gray and I already have several projects on my plate...

I'll keep you updated on my progress and may drop a project or two.  Are you starting any new projects this year?  What are they?
