art journal challenge - week 22

wow this year is flying by! so proud of all of you (and me!) who are doing this little challenge every week - creating something, recording something, taking time for yourself even if it is only 5 minutes. don't feel bad if you have fallen behind, or if you are just joining in, you are doing something important for yourself, so make it work however you can!

i was thinking earlier that there are so many things i'd like to learn. i never want to go back to school and sit exams again, but i'd love to learn how to sew my own clothes, speak fluent french, garden, knit things that are not just straight lines (ie scarves and squares for a blanket)...my list goes on!

this weeks challenge is: what would you like to learn?

i layered some cordoroy fabric i bought to sew something for ivy with (which hopefully i still can, now that i snuck a scrap from the corner for my card!) and some old crochet doily and stitched the panel with lines for journalling onto a blue painted card. the writing looks better than it came out in this scan - i promise! haha...i think i will also glue some notepaper on the back and compile a list of all the other things i want to learn - maybe this will help me to actually do it one day!

have a happy, sunny week!

I'm one of those who has fallen a bit behind, but I love seeing each new challenge and hope to get back on track this week. Thanks for keeping up with this and encouraging all of us even though you have so many other responsibilities!

I just love looking at your creations. They are so free. I seem to be a bit trapped in what is accepted. I love that you are not. I so enjoy your positive, happy, joyful expressions. You are a breath of fresh air.

Great prompt. I've been thinking lately of all the things I'd like to create. Most of them require sewing-which I am no good at. But thought I might try to learn. So this will be a fun card for me!! Your card is great!

[Paula]

Gorgeous card as always.
I would love to crochet better. I have to do it right handed as it was how I was taught but Im left & it gets confusing!!

Mine is completed & on my blog. My favourite part of the week these challenges.x TFL.x
