Outside of the obvious "stop screwing up," you could take the proactive approach with your boss. Drop him/her a line to the effect of "I'm sure you've noticed my work is not up to my typical standard and I want you to know that I'm well aware of this as well..."
Explain that you intend to right the ship and ask for assistance if it's appropriate. It's better than waiting until s/he gets irritated enough to call you out on it, or until your co-workers get irritated enough to go to your boss about it. You will have also planted the seed of positive image, before your co-workers have a chance to make you look bad in front of your boss. Can make a big difference in the long run.
