Keeping Occupied

It's been pretty quiet around here, not a lot of running around.  The girls are busy with school, Jeff's busy at school (as always), and in between working two days a week I've been trying to exercise more and trying out new crafts.  In December I was introduced to Pinterest.  Such a cool website.  In the past when I've seen something I liked I would just bookmark it on the computer.  Now there's a place where I can see all my interested sites in one place. 

My recent "big" craft was this USA Scrap Map.  I found this on Sew Kate Sew blog and once seeing it I had to try it.  It wasn't hard, just time consuming -- I don't work really fast.  I had to cut out each state and iron it in place.  I had some issues with the iron but overall I'm pleased with the result.



Found these printables on Pinterest so instead of buying valentines Robyn and I made these for her class:



Also found on Pinterest.  These are for my nursery kids.  At church sn Sunday I teach the 18 month to 3 year old class.  I'm giving these at the end of class.  I do not want the kids to have more energy than normal!


It's been fun trying new projects.  Now I just need to decide what to do next...

Oh my, I am so obsessed with Pinterest as well. The map is really neat! All that work was worth it. Love the valentines too!
