February 29, Leap Year Day of Creativity.

I decided to partake in the 365 Project which is making a block a day for a year.  This year has 366 days as it is a Leap Year so I finally decided to get started on February 18, the anniversary of my maternal grandfather's birthday.

 I started with tracing, cutting and using a heat resistant Mylar circle to turn my edges.

 Then I started stitching some down onto light backgrounds.

 I decided to also use some dark backgrounds.  To jump start me I used a charm square collection of Paper and Ink.

 By the end of the weekend I had a fair showing of circles done.

 Yesterday morning February 28 I decided to place what I'd done up on my design wall and see where I was at...Still needed some more to get caught up.

 So I continued stitching through the Oscar presentations.  I was now cutting backgrounds from my own black and white collection.  Having fun combining circles with backgrounds. Pencils on script fabric and nautilus shapes on a Parisian background.

 Lights on dark, and brights on white.

 Sewing related themes together.

 Teacups with lemons.  Sky images like a portal to the stars.

 These are randomly placed onto the design wall.

 Some are a great contrast and some are more subtle.

 Having fun is the important feature.

 Dragonfly sun on a garden motif.

 Bananas floating on French words.

 Horses galloping against a starry night with chairs against a newsprint.

 Different forms of transportation.

 Crescent moons and sunglasses.

 Whimsical bird on an ant background.

 Another crescent moon beside a fiery sun.

 Frolicking rabbits.

 Images of flowers, scripts, music and scissors.

 Some of my favourite colours. Lions behind a yellow sun.

 Sand, pencils, words and turquoise.

 Mannequins and old style televisions.  We had one very similar.

 Well I needed 60 to be caught up for today.  Count and you see I overachieved and made 66!  Guess I get to take a few days off before starting one a day.
