Text of the page (random words):
it s time for the 100 day project and i thought i was ready i really did this plan was decided weeks ago but i just now reviewed my list of previous projects and realized two things one this will be my tenth year participating two my project last year looks a lot like what i have been planning to do this year on no i had to go look at my instagram to find the 2025 hashtag because i just couldn t remember my posts there about last year s project are scarce and sporadic the way i wrote about it feels like i was unenthusiastic and losing steam so with only days until the 2026 project begins i m rethinking the idea i ve had for months because it s just too much like last year s unmemorable project and that s not what i want for 100 days of my life granted i don t need anything groundbreaking or difficult i want to do what all the advice out there suggests work on something that i m looking forward to something that i want to show up for i ve already given myself enough challenges this year finding the words inspiration trove create with me jewelry etc all on youtube i don t need anything else to agonize over what i need is permission to play just a little every day so i think i think i m going to stitch that can be interpreted in so many ways slow stitching using my sewing machine embroidering or cross stitching repairing or decorating my clothes making stitched stacks or clusters sewing a journal together stitching in a journal whatever just one of my many stashes of embroidery floss while i have so very many supplies all i really need is a needle thread and something to stitch so it s a project that can travel easily if needed and i m excited to do it kits i d forgotten i had i just have to wait for the project to start on sunday february 22nd if you re toying with the idea of joining let me give you just a little advice it s okay to not take on too much keep it simple attainable make sure you want to do it for 100 days and remember you don t have to finish something every day just work a little on the idea now get excited and go for it if you re interested in my previous projects below are the hashtags i ve used and a little about each of them this year i ll use stitchabit100 2017 make100earrings the idea is pretty self explanatory and i even did some serious prepping for it 2018 altering100 i decided to alter a variety of materials for use in either mixed media art or jewelry i was all over the place with this project 2019 silverloxfinds was a really fun and memorable project in which i went out explored our property and shared the wild and wonderful bits i found there 2020 makeartdontfakeart was all about using some of the art supplies i have amassed i think i even had a list of 100 items that i was to work from this was a bit of a dud i think 2021 100daysofmakingjewelry is another i don t remember well however looking through my posts i think i got quite a bit of jewelry making done 2022 assemblage100 was really exciting for me because it allowed me to begin playing with the idea of assemblage art here s my post about it 2023 making100faces and miniassemblage100 might have been a tad overambitious but the faces were easy and i enjoyed playing with more assemblage at a smaller scale it felt more manageable that way 2024 notpreciousproject was glorious but i m still working to not make my supplies so precious 2025 hopedaydreams was fiiiiiine i experimented i played but i did it already please note that since instagram s use of hashtags has changed you may or may not see my posts when you click on the hashtags above sorry about that who knew they d mess up such a vital search function sigh anyway i m ready to pull out all my floss thread needles fabric and the rest of it and get to it i guess you can say that i m itchin to get stitchin should i mention all the spools of thread as for all those scraps of ideas they ll get used eventually i d love to hear if you re joining the party and what your project is oh and i know i ve been away from the blog for ages sorry about that i do hope to be here more often but i don t want to make too many promises quite yet at february 18 2026 5 comments

things i hope to spread that joy and inspiration a little something new i cannot believe it s been over a year since i chatted with you i m so sorry i ll admit that it feels like i ve been pulled in a thousand different directions lately i started a post back in february to mention my 100 day project for this year but that post fell to the wayside and honestly the project has dragged a little let s see if i want to get this one up i should try to keep it short i m starting a patreon account to begin with i m only setting up one tier in order to share my icad index card a day videos and some free

email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels icad patreon craftyhope i m a jewelry artist treasure hunter nature lover that finds joy in the smallest things i hope to spread that joy and inspiration winding down the 100dayproject i awoke the other day with many thoughts about the 100 day project and decided to jot them down here to share with you some of the bits i gathered curated at the start of this year s project as this is my eighth year participating and my ninth project because i crazily did two projects last year ️ ️ you may wonder why i keep doing it honestly i sometimes wonder too but there s something about the commitment of knowing what you re going to be doing for 100 days and there s the excitement and build up of it at the start often there s the relief in knowing that i ll have more art pieces completed at the end and the personal expectancy to show up every single day but it is probably the days that lag and when inspiration just isn t there that are the real reasons i do this project year after year it helps me see that even at those times i can create something it likely won t be the best thing ever but i did it i got through the lag and drag and there s something about coming out the other side of the project of having that release the freedom to do something else anything else that you are no longer held to your commitment to do whatever you ve been doing for 100 days that you now have time to explore another project here at the end of this notpreciousproject i m seeing that light at the end of the tunnel and am feeling inspired by what comes next and i m doing it with a sense that i can use those precious items i m excited to put away some of the things i ve pulled out see picture above and finally clean up my spaces and move forward i mean icad starts on june 1st if you re interested in learning more about my previous projects or this year s please see my announcement post for the 100 day project 2024 at

in the smallest things i hope to spread that joy and inspiration bead box 18 reveal hey y all i m popping in to share the completed jewelry pieces that came out of bead box 18 i ve actually already stocked and started on 19 so you should expect that post soon too if you re unsure what i m talking about let me quickly explain i try to keep a basic divided organizer stocked with the elements i need to make 17 jewelry pieces this organizer goes with me when i travel am uninspired or just need to keep my hands busy i shared a glimpse of this 18th iteration of it about a month ago and now it s time for you to see what i made this necklace came together pretty quickly and is newly available on etsy teal is probably my most favorite color so i love this one so much these were a tad experimental as i wasn t sure if i could get the balled headpin to stabilize on the tin as well as form a loop for the leaf it worked and i love them they ll be headed to the etsy shop soon the tin mushrooms came together accidently when two pieces of tin landed on top of each other on my bead mat as soon as i saw them as mushrooms there was no stopping me from riveting them together of course that all happened before these wound up in my bead box aaaaanyway i wrapped beads onto a couple of golden rings and these earrings were done they re available at hello gallery in downtown fairhope the pendant of this necklace was originally made for and in another necklace that i eventually took apart it happens as has become my latest and favorite way to make the chain for a necklace i added matching beads to the front and finished it with chain oh and that face part of the pendant it s from gaea handmade from ages ago there s a lot going on in these earrings they started with the soldered crystal drops but called for so much more the darkened solder had me turning to some hardware store internal snap rings but i wanted to up the bling factor so gold and crystal bead fringe was added these fun earrings can be found at hello gallery can you tell that i had a few soldered bits that i wanted to use in this box the pendant in this necklace is a soldered stack of a chandelier crystal a turquoise chunk and a glass pebble backed with altered crackled paper i simply added turquoise chips and round clear glass beads aong with antiqued silver chain to finish this necklace i plan to list it in the craftyhope etsy shop this necklace speaks for itself doesn t it i created the shield pendant with the happy pebble several months back but was stumped with what to do with it i created a rosary chain of small beads and look closely do you see it the pattern is off i meant for the black beads to be first on both chains so i ve since swapped it and added a closure alas when i went to take the necklace to southern antiques and accents i dropped it and the flower bead broke in half sigh i could easily add another one of those beads but i m afraid they may be flawed as there was one broken the same way when i received the order of them so i m thinking on it let me know if you have any ideas of what could hang from this happy pendant i just realized that the tin pieces in these earrings may be the exact same shape as the tin in the necklace before it how funny in any case these earrings came together so very quickly and are available at southern antiques and accents saa yup more soldered beads i played with the translucent nature of these cultured sea glass diamond charms and hung some chain reaction from jesse james beads behind it first i had to change the bead on the chain to that it ended with a headpin and not a loop it s a personal preference thing like the earrings above these can be found at saa those lime drops were the ignightor for these earrings i thought the pinky purple would be fun with them i was right you can find these in my booth at saa while they last i ve got a small jar of these bullet casings that i picked dup at a yard sale a year or so ago i had my husband help me drill holes in the end of several of them so i could use them in jewelry like in the soldier s necklace on etsy these tassel earrings are pretty long but i think they re super neat i ve taken them up to hello gallery yeah that s another gaea made pendant and it s another that i had worked into something else that just didn t work out i really like this version with the leather loops glass beads and brass chain i ll be listing it in the etsy shop before too long this might be my favorite thing from the whole box maybe it s a simple knotted bracelet with four strands of beads and a cool star button as the closure other than the green cord it s neutral and could easily go with anything you can find it downtown fairhope at hello gallery i try to include several bracelets in each box though i do struggle with them this one i like it i like the colors and the copper but i think i need to rework it the section where the charm hangs is too long and clunky they can t all be winners look at that another bracelet this one gave me fits and was reworked several times after this picture was taken i was feeling unsure about the beading cord and decided to wear this one for a while and i did i wore it until some of the color started to come off the reconstituted stone beads drat so i do love this bright fun bracelet but it has some issues so it s mine these are much bigger than they look the golden bases are from michaels and it was pretty simple to add the beads and tin i ...
