I LOVE pinterest...

I cannot stop pinning craft ideas. If you love crafts, recipes, fun photos, quotes, tips and tricks, home fix-it ideas, or just image-covered sites and you aren't already using pinterest - you should be! If you need an invite, leave a comment and I'll invite you.

My friends, family, and husband have already begun to see a trend when I say... "Hey, I found this awesome new...{craft, recipe, cute photo of a dog, way to remove soap scum from my tub[really]}" They've caught on and automatically ask, was it on Pinterest? And 99% of the time - they're right.

I thought I would start out this blog by sharing some of my favorites...

Some I've already used:
no knot join - Much better way of switching threads than tying a knot! This is a MUST if you do knitting or crochet!
Crochet tutorials and stitches - I'm very new to crochet, but I already love it!
Some of them I know I will never get around to:
Such a cute way to save a page - my go-to bookmarks are post-it notes.
This woman does AMAZING scrapbooking (a two page spread every week!). 
I made a blog to put everything I would put in a scrapbook. If I relied on having enough time to scrapbook, then I would never have any sort of record. Still, things like this inspire me to keep creating.

Even though I don't have a house for some of the furniture upcycles:

Even though I know some are too complicated/ require too much time:
Do you know how long it takes to knit/crochet a sweater??

Even though some don't fit with my decor:


I have a bunch of theater shirts from high school, but I don't know that I would really wear them around as a scarf.

I just love seeing all of the new ideas and things that people come up with!
