Map

As if blogs weren't bad enough, now I have pinterest to inspire me for projects. I have hundreds of projects I would like to make with all my free time... Ha!

I saw this a month ago and decided to make one of my own.

If seemed easy enough since I have plenty of scrap material. All I had to buy was some heat n bond and everything else I had. Even the board that I am hanging it on. I love how it turned out. I will admit that the northeast was an absolute pain. I do have a new appreciation for the shape of each state.
There were a few tiny islands that I just couldn't make work. Don't look too close at Hawaii and Alaska.

I think I will steer clear of any projects with teeny tiny pieces for a while...

I can't believe you made that! You are amazing! Way to go! I can't do any sewing until my sewing table gets built. I've been spending way too much of my "free time" painting. Come out and see us soon!
