misTAKES in INk

I made this card for my grandmother’s birthday. But there were some bumps along the way. ..

This was the first one I made. . . it looks pretty bad. I don’t know where I was going with that happy birthday? So, I cut the flower out and glued it onto another card. Then there was the inside…

Then I messed up the T in birthday. I actually spelled it “b-i-r-h-h-d-a-y.” If you know me, you know spelling isn’t my strong suit. So, I did this.

I pasted a new T triangle over it. I mean, she’s 90, is she really going to notice?? It’s the thought that counts, dammit.

happy BIRTHDAY candles ESTHER !!!!!

I met the lovely Esther at Sundance. While there, her brilliant boyfriend asked me to make her a birthday bag. This is the bag.

I used a vintage buckle to make the adjustable strap. I would kill for more buckles like that.

Funny story about the lining.

I made this dress out of it first. I kept the dress long so that in the future I could reuse the fabric.

On the last day of Sundance, we were walking down the street in Park City and we passed a house with a triangle shaped birthday banner and Esther said that she really liked banners like that.

I remembered that.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRETTY YOUNG THING!!!!
