Create30: The 30 Day Challenge

This is a pretty wild challenge for me, and one I'm approaching with eagerness and high expectations. 

I'm calling it Create30. It boils down to this: 

Every day for the next 30 days I will create something new. A garment; an accessory; a product. This blog is mostly to keep myself on track and motivated and to allow a platform for feedback and criticism. I am so interested to hear what you love and what you don't, what you'd like to see more of. One outcome of this project that I am hoping for is that by the time I finish I will have determined a way to make my design work profitable, so your feedback is wonderfully valuable to me. 

I have an urgent need to restore creativity and productivity into my life. My mind is constantly designing, but for the last two years it's all been tucked in away somewhere in the back of my brain, or if I'm lucky, somewhere in the back of my notes. At this point I have so many things I want to do that I can hardly focus. I've been completely immersed in my job managing a retail store, but fortunately circumstances have allowed me to take a break and have some time to myself. For 30 days I am enabling myself to act on every creative idea that comes into my mind and to take advantage of the opportunity to be delightfully selfish with my time, energy, and ideas.

I need a new kind of challenge, and I need to return my energy and focus to design. It's such a blessing to wake up in the morning and have endless creative potential. Here's to a month of productivity and creativity!
