To "warm me up" I decided to make a temari for the fun of it. This pattern is called Water Lilly and it is a massive 45 centimeters in circumference! I also changed up the order of the colors from one side to the other just to make it a bit more interesting. I personally think it looks more like a giant dahlia than a water lilly. It took me 2 weeks of stitching - about an hour a night after work, and a few hours on Saturday and Sunday.
.At then end of 2018, I finished the course work for the Level 1 certification and took a break from making any while i waited to hear if I had passed; and by mid-year 2019 I had and received my certificate. After that I did gather the materials I would need to start the Level 2 certification but I not mentally ready so I took a break, a long break. With the start of 2020, I decided that it was perfect for me to begin the Level 2 certification work as it consisted of 12 lessons and so that would work out to about one per month. In early 2021 I could be ready for the submission of 12 temari and 6 written patterns to demonstrate that I know how to write up instructions; luckily they do have to be original patterns (that's Level 3!!) .
