Today sees the start of the 100 Day Project – a worldwide arts project where people choose an action to do each day for 100 days. You sign up on Instagram and then post a picture of your action every day using both the #100dayproject hashtag and the individual one for your project #100daysof_________

I wasn’t going to take part, I was going to watch and enjoy others’ projects. Today though seeing people’s first posts made me want to join in so I got thinking about what I could do.

I’m going to cross stitch 100 10×10 stitch squares, each with a unique design. Some will be pictures, some will be geometric designs, and anything else that comes to mind between now and 12th July. I’ve picked a colour palette of 10 colours – the seven colours of the rainbow plus black, white and grey. Here’s my first square:

It’s inspired by the new Power Rangers film which I went to see this afternoon – my idea was entirely planned out while I was driving to and from the cinema.

I’ll post updates here occasionally, at the very least at days 25, 50, 75 and 100.
