It's Okay to Make Mistakes

Often we have an image in mind of what we want our final project to look like. More often than we would prefer we make hiccups and errors that we begin to obsess over. Here is the trick, don’t spend an hour trying to fix what you think is broken because, you could potentially make it worse and you are taking away what sets it apart from everything else.

**For the rest of this blog I will refer to “mistakes as “beauty marks”

Reasons it is okay to make beauty marks:

Hello, they are beauty marks! Cindy Crawford loves hers, and so should you.

It adds character to your masterpiece.

Nobody’s perfect (I gotta work it) (Anyone get the Hannah Montana reference?).

You will spend more time on your beauty mark than completing your project.

We learn from experience.

We begin to realize what looks we like and looks we don’t like.

Beauty marks are things that show progress and growth in crafts. Once you learn to embrace such an amazing thing, you will find it is easier to look past those little nicks. There isn’t much more to it than that, love the imperfections.

Hit it, John!

“Love all your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections.”
