Not as easy as it looks

Well it took me about 4 hours just to trace the whole monogram and just paint the M. I'm not that thrilled with the way it looks. The blue is too dark. The paint bleeds outside the lines. I lined it with a black Sharpie and it looks a little better - but I dunno. We'll see how it looks when the whole thing is done. We may just go runner-less. Sigh...Maybe I'm not as crafy as I thought :(
