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!

Great card Emily, I am sorry but I have been radical this week and used a bit of poetic licence on the subject and turned it into 'something' I have always wanted to do!!! So go on beat me up, shun me and exclude me, if you are feeling compassionate have a look at my card, on my blog!!!

Love this one - and I love to learn too... so many things it was hard to choose, so I went with a deep seated want to learn...
