100 Day Project update

Tatting every day December 21st, 2019 to March 19th, 2020.

This is what I have tatted since the last picture was taken

(there is actually a red edging and a red beaded ring that I forgot to put in this photo, but they can all be seen on my Instagram page). I tatted the blue bird today.

New Favorite Piece of Music

The Phantom of the Opera

is my new favorite piece of music.

“The phantom of the opera is there...”

I wish I could sing like Christine,

“Think of me, think of me fondly...”

“Say you love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summertime
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you”

Instead of just hearing the songs,

I saw the movie last night

and now I like it even more.

I See Hearts Everywhere

I have tatted so many hearts this December

that now I see hearts everywhere.

This morning

the tree

made a heart for me.

Leaving the store,

heart clouds appeared.

They were pink.

And a large heart cloud,

in the night sky,

greeted me

when I took the garbage out.

I am a romantic.

The trees

and the clouds

understand.

And I am loving it.

My Beautiful Christmas Weather

Orange trees fruiting in our backyards.

Flowers growing on the boulevards.

Pink and red Camellia bushes bloom.

Seventy-two degree afternoon.

Christmas definitely was not white.

No snow in the forecast for tonight.

Short-sleeve t-shirts we all don

taking Christmas decorations down.

This 100 day project sounds fun. I am late starting and I am not sure that I understand it completely, but I am going to tat each day for 100 days for the Solstice to Equinox: Out of the Darkness Project which started on the Winter Solstice, December 21st, 2019, and ends on the Spring Equinox, March 19th, 2020. In the meantime, I am going to figure out what purpose or theme to use in the 2020 100DayProject which starts on January 22nd, 2020 and ends April 30th, 2020. Their theme is Secret Places. I intend to participate in both.

I actually started tatting December 1^st, so maybe I am not behind. My thinking was to tat through December, sort of an advent thing. I have been tatting with the theme of Love using red as a main color, but I will change colors and themes at least monthly with this tatting so I don’t get bored.

I have my tatting posted on Instagram, but here is a progress picture.
