Keep on making those mistakes!
Sometimes when you’ re in a hurry you make mistakes. Sometimes those mistakes help you see something that you normally wouldn’t see.
My friend gave me this little side table recently.
I was in such a hurry and excited to get this painted that I didn’t take time to sand it. I didn’t realize how thick the paint drips and blobs were from the previous paint job. I was heading to 32 Flavors Boutique the next day and wanted to take this with me to sell in my space. I didn’t have time to start over sanding and repainting.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw this little wooden print that my neighbor gave me. I almost donated it because I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do with it. All of a sudden that silly nonsanding mistake opened my eyes to a new idea! See mistakes can be good!
Totally need to work on my measuring and straight line drawing!
I cut down the print with a jigsaw and then sanded the edges.
A little liquid nails and this print was not going anywhere!!
Finished just in time to take with me to 32 Flavors Boutique!!
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my 39 years. ALOT. ALOT. In life, in mothering, and in creating. I am learning that real beauty can come from those mistakes. Pretty profound for a Monday morning! When I finally let go that everything had to be perfect or look a certain way when creating, that is when true joy and love for creating came. When I stopped beating myself up for making mistakes when painting or sewing or whatever I was working on and instead embraced those mistakes, I truly enjoyed the process. Just like my dear friend The Nester says over and over, It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful. Amen sister.
I would love to hear of a mistake you made in any area of your life that turned out to be a beautiful blessing!!
Happy Monday! xoxoxo Angela
Shadow box love.
My dad was in the military when I was a child. We moved every 2-3 years until I was in the tenth grade. It was hard at the time moving so often, but now that I look back at it, it was pretty cool to live in all those different places. One such place was Munich, Germany. It was there that my parents gave me my first shadow box. Shadow boxes were a big thing in Germany. I loved it and used it to store all my super special collections and treasures. To this day I still get goose bumps when I see a shadow box. I stumble across them from time to time at yard sales or in thrift stores. If I see one I will definitely knock someone out of the way to get to it first.
I found the green one at Goodwill last week for $2.99. A friend gave me the white one and the blue shadow box and the smaller one came from a yard sale for a $1.00 each.
I pulled out my paints,
my stamp collection, (nothing says cool girl like stamp collection)
and some pretty paper.
Nothing helps the creative process more than coffee and Nutter Butter cookies.
If you need a shadow box to brighten your day, you can find these at Sanctuary of Davidson!!!
