These are two years of daily weaving that I call my Tapestry Diaries. Each day I've woven a distinct bit, sometimes taking 5 minutes to do, other times perhaps 30 minutes. The daily practice of weaving these small areas has become quite addictive. For 2011 I wove each month as a separate small tapestry (just posted the December one in another project page). For 2012 I will again weave on a single warp throughout the year.
I love this idea and did something similar many years ago while in school. I want to do this again, it's wonderful.

... with the piece in school that you mention. As I begin tomorrow for 2012, it will be the fourth year of the process. And it really only takes a few minutes each day!
You've definitely inspired me to do one of these. The warp is ready for weaving to begin tomorrow! Thank you!
I hope you'll find it very rewarding to do.
Hi Tommye I love The Tapestry Diaries! Yours always have such interesting colors and designs, and cohesiveness. I am going to start small this year with at least a few months, the summer months. Have the experience of doing the diaries changed how you approach your other tapestry work?
No, Cathie, I don't think the other work has changed much because of the diary pieces... well, let me take that back! I can do pick and pick with ease within tapestry now... that's a change... so in that sense, yes.
Have fun with the process and post what you're doing with it, too. And, if you want to join in a private blog I have going about the daily work, let me know and I'll send an invitation through blogspot to you.
Happy New Year!
