This will be my third year of participation in Thing-a Day and I was able to do all 28 days in 2009 and 2010. You can see my efforts for those two years in the Thing-a-Day Categories on the left of the screen.
This year will be rather harder though.
Last year was a terrible year for my family with the death of my 9 year old grandson in a road traffic accident, followed a few months later by the death of my mother and a diagnosis of cancer in the immediate family. Needless to say – creative thought and activity has taken a back seat in my life for the last few months, and as a person who is normally very creative this is something I would like to take steps to change. Thing-a-Day is the perfect opportunity to get started again!
The birth of my fourth grandchild is also imminent and as I am my daughter’s nominated birth partner I may have to vanish for a day or two sometime during February but I will still try to keep up my postings!
To make things easy for me, and also to act as a kind of therapy, I have decided to try to make a complete alphabet inZentangles over the month. This was a project that I wanted to do after the last Thing-a-Day but never managed to do more than 5 letters. I also plan to fill up any spare days in February by doing numbers too.
I also have some cakes ordered during the month so I guess they will make an appearance too…and if my creativity begins to really bubble up again I may add other things….so it is just possible that I end up posting more than one ‘thing’ on some days.
Anyway…for today’s offering I have ‘tangled’ the letter A and the number 1.
I haven’t done any Zentangles since I went on holiday last June so I am more than a little rusty and hesitant – and I think that really shows. Nevertheless, I did enjoy doing them and hopefully this will kick start me into being creative again…
