If you have EVERY thought a project on Pinterest was darling, and saved it, and maybe even MADE it… I can almost promise you that one of them was designed by Bev McCullough of Flamingo Toes! I’m personally a huge fan-girl, and have saved a bunch of her things to make. That map is first up, then the Flamingo.. then…. I’m excited to chat for the 2^nd half of my show with Bev about all things making and hear about her new fabric lines!
