You're never too old to learn something new



How long has it been since you've treated yourself to a new learning experience?

Other than a one day purse making workshop with Nikki, I hadn't challenged myself to completing a course to learn something new since the days when I worked full time.


As I'm going through my google reader and catching up with everyone's blogs, I keep seeing the illustration above.

Though it may seem really simple to some, I still can't believe that just by taking a giant leap of faith and beginning with a short course to learn the tips and tricks of drawing and designing in Photoshop, I've managed to teach myself how to use Illustrator. Combining the two only makes it even better!

So the moral of this little tale?

You're never too old. Challenge yourself. Invest in your knowledge and skills. Take some time just for you.

You just never know what you might learn.

My Creative Space


I finally have my very own graphics tablet thanks to eagle-eyed Vic who spotted it on her local Buy Swap Sell site.

By the way, it's not actually a GIANT tablet... it just looks that way next to my mini Laptop.

I haven't had much time to play with it yet between work and appointments, but I have managed to muck around long enough in Illustrator to make a flower.


It only took me over 2 hours - phew!

I have lots and lots and lots of practising ahead of me. The only way that I can learn is to just keep trying and making mistakes and deleting everything and starting again.

I'll know that I'll get there eventually.

I have a CT scan and Tx Clinic today. I wish I could stay home and keep playing with it!

More creative spaces.
