One of the short term goals I listed at the beginning of the year was to do a few of the crafts and projects that were pinned on my Winter Pinterest Board. I've been on Pinterest for about a year, but I resisted joining Pinterest at first because I was afraid that I would either:
- Pin a bunch of stuff that I would never have time to try, or
- Pressure myself to do everything I pinned and feel let down if I didn't.
When I eventually caved and joined Pinterest last winter, I decided to pin only recipes/projects/ideas I loved or could see myself following though on. I don't pin it if it doesn't fit my style or if it looks too complicated or difficult or calls for ingredients I don't use. I revisit my own boards frequently for inspiration.
Here are a few of the things I've attempted this year from my Winter Pinterest Board:

Have you had any Pinterest successes recently?
I decorated with yarn balls too! (In fact, I think I got that idea from your board.)
ReplyDeleteI love love LOVE the way your chalkboard turned out. Oh, I hope there is a good place for a chalkboard in our new house!! :) And that My Beloved goes for the idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI've actually surprised myself by completing quite a lot of the projects I've pinned.
ReplyDeleteSome of our recent favorites are these muffins and this bread.
Unlike you, I do find myself pinning more than I'll actually be able to do. Ever once in a while I go through my boards and weed out ideas. However, I find that I use a lot of recipes/crafts for inspiration even though I may not follow them exactly.
For Christmas presents I made some crocheted head bands and necklaces and today I am going to attempt a crochet slipper pattern I've pinned. I have made a few recipes as well. I would leave the links here but I don't know how to do that. I love how you and others leave a link attached to a word. That is a lesson for our blog tutorial day.
