16 days into the Scrap-a-Day 100 Day Project

My second 100 Day Project for 2026 is a Scrap a Day project. This 100 Day Project started on February 22 and I’m adding a 1-1/4” square to a small, handmade journal to document ordinary, daily activities.

100 Day Project 2026: Scrap-a-Day

This is the front cover of my Scrap-a-Day journal (4-1/4” x 5-5/8”) beside the paper punch I use for punching out the daily squares. At some point, I’ll add a title to the cover.

Create Daily Tracker: month three begins

March 1st marks the start of a new month on my Create Daily Tracker 2026. I’m currently immersed in two 100 Day Projects: The 100 Day Stitch Book and A Scrap a Day. 

Create Daily Tracker 2026.

The 100 Day Stitch Book is now at Day 45, with nine pages complete. I love incorporating fabric and yarn scraps with slow stitching. The pages fill slowly—but the steady act of commitment adds up and the compositions get more complex and interesting each day.

My Scrap a Day 100 Day Project began a week ago on February 22. I’m filling up a small pocket journal with daily found papers—punching out 1-1/4” squares. I’m looking forward to filling the pages with a variety of small images.

The new month starts the next section of the Create Daily Tracker—with new boxes to color, new stitch patterns, and collecting more paper scraps. I’m feeling energized to continue the daily practice and making progress.
