In Progress

Unfortunately, nothing new to show you yet. I do have two promising projects in the works though and I figured I tell a bit now.

I thought I would finish my perpetual calendar project with my mom this weekend but it turned out we were too busy on our trip to have time to work on it. Here I thought we would be bored at night and need an activity but instead we had no time for crafting at all. I did get to stop by a cool craft store in Santa Barbara. I wish I had known about it when I was still going to school there! I guess that is life.

I am still really interested in making the calendars so hopefully I get a chance to work on mine soon.

The other project that I have been wanting to do for a while but am just now starting is a map so my husband and I can start pinning places when have been.

I found a coupon online for Aaron Brothers and got the canvas. It took me a while to decide what size would be good. I ended up with a 24x36. Maybe some kind of nod to my former work. Then I went online and found a free basic black and white map. Then I used Gimp to make 14 8.5x11s which I have all printed out. I am planning on using them to "trace" what I want to paint later.

That map project is going to be very time consuming I can already tell so it might be staying in progress for a while but at least I am making progress right?

UPDATE: After I started my map my husband mentioned that I chose the wrong perspective so I gave up for a while but having my first comment inspired me so maybe one day I'll finish :)
