I'm learning new techniques - I'm getting painty and inky and messy - and I'm lovin it.
Over the weekend, whilst I was waiting for the workshop to begin - I created this
but I messed up big time - I was lovin how my background was coming together - I added the bird from packaging from Echo Park For the Record - the bird sits on a sticker swirl which I thought kinda looks like a branch - I added rubons and bunting - I outlined and doodled where needed - and all was fine - until I applied the PVA!
I thought I had picked up my permanent waterproof pen - when, in fact, I hadn't! - as the PVA started to dry the ink started to bleed :( - and to make matters worse the string moved - I could fix it - but I don't want to - I want to keep it as a reminder that its OK to make mistakes - we learn by our mistakes - and have fun along the way.
listening - to the radio
eating - porridge with dried cranberries
drinking - tea
wearing - a skirt, leggings and boots.
feeling - smiley
weather - there's a nip in the air today
wanting - to spend the day creating
needing - to attack the ironing
thinking - of friends who are no longer around
enjoying - that I haven't worn this skirt in 6 months and can now fit in it :D
wondering - if I should make that call?
Thanks for dropping by.

Mistake? What? Where? Looks intentional and fantastic! I adore it! :D
Personally I cannot see the mistakes Tracie, a gorgeous piece of work :)
It is beautiful - I can't see the mistakes :)

Argh - I hate mistakes when you have almost finished a project. I recently ruined a layout because I accidentally rubbed a rub on right in the middle of it. And it was yellow on a black and white photo! Disaster. Your mistake, however, actually looks intentional. Really enjoying your blog posts by the way :)
I think it looks great! And yes...mistakes are allowed! Encouraged even...it's good to learn and grow through them!
Looks fabulous. Same thing happened to me, my first try the pen came off after I mod podged over it.
It looks just perfect to me! I love the bunting expecially.
