IT'S FINALLY DONE!!!! Mario Blanket

My Pinterest Nightmare..3 ways to avoid being me!

Pinterest has grown very fast. I love it and hate it at the same time. Its an easy place to access and find things you love . I have about 96 boards, 6 secret boards, 5,207 pins, 4,742 likes . That's where my nightmare begins.... all those likes. Just sitting there without a board to call their own. 4,738 likes ( as of this post) . How did it get so out of control?

And if I have some free time after finishing hats for my customers I need to sew more squares together for Jon's Mario Blanket. This blanket has taken 6 months . I will be glad when its done.. then I can make either my Totoro blanket ( my neighbor Totoro) or a Boston Bruins blanket f
