Pinterest Project

 Like most people these days I suffer from an addiction to Pinterest. I pin everything...and make nothing. It's good for inspiration, but some days it can leave me feeling a little overwhelmed.

When I came across this project though, I knew I'd found a perfect place to start. (You can read all about how to make your own here).

And so I decided to make my own. The only state that has real significance to my husband and I is Minnesota. It's where we were raised, met, got married, bought our first house, and where we'll have our first baby. 

So first I drew out a rough MN outline, and outlined it with black embroidery thread.

 

Once that was finished I added a red felt heart.

 

Framed it in an inexpensive frame from Target...And that was it! I'm mostly in love with the way it turned out...though there are a few eraser marks that I wish would disappear.

 

The nice thing is, they aren't very noticeable when it is hanging on the wall. 

So what do you think? I like that it adds a little more interest to our master bedroom photo collage, AND it was homemade...couldn't be better!
