Oh My... How Pinteresting: 09/20/2012

I'm still Pinterest crazy.... here are some upcoming projects.  I realize that I eventually need to start making pins of the stuff I do and then share it.  Right now I'm using Pinterest as a way to gather links and ideas to cool things. Gotta give back one of these days!

Garden Monkey Bread with BACON.

This idea... but with autumnal craft paper!

This idea... but for the kids' books and smaller stuffed animals.  Of course, they will go across and not up the wall (Atticus loves to climb!)
I need to my a cape for my resident super hero.  (no, Sam, not you).
This is happening soon.  Sweet Potato Muffins!

Well, that's all for now, folks.  I'm slowly increasing my Pins Completed board.  Click below to follow me on Pinterest!

Oh My... How Pinteresting: 08/16/12

Hey you guys!  I actually completed a pin! This one to be precise. Yup. I made homemade baby wipes.  I took an empty ice cream bucket, a roll of Viva paper towels, 2 cups boiled and then cooled water, a tablespoon of baby oil, and two tablespoons of baby wash and then followed the directions.  They are moist and don't irritate Atticus's rump. The one issue I had is with tearing the wipes off the roll,  Next time I am going to take the time to tear the pieces off the roll and stack them, perhaps that would make a difference.  Oh, and the directions say to slice the roll in half, but I find that increases the tearing and you end up using more wipes because they shred. I'll let you know when I revamp this pin.

This means I have one pin down and 3-6 more pins to do for the Pin it and Do it challenge.  I better get my butt in gear. Of course, it is way easier to just increase my pin boards with pins galore.  Here are some pins that are looking mighty pinteresting this week:

I LOVE Halloween, but we don't ever get trick-or-treaters down our little street (the sidewalks suck). So Atticus is getting a Halloween party for his second birthday in late October.  This pin is brilliant: cut "eyes" out of paper towel tubes and hide them in the yard with glow sticks inside!
I do love peanut brittle, but fall-infused brittle.  OMG!
One of my all time favorite bloggers has made some wicked-delicious looking homemade coffee creamers.  I could have Pumpkin Spice year round!!!
Taters, precious
This, my friends, is happening to the microwave at work. For serious. 
Obviously you can tell by most of my posts that I am ready for my favorite season -- Autumn -- to begin.  I'll pin-myself into thinking it isn't 85 degrees in Georgia!

Oh My.... How Pinteresting: 07/19/12

What's catching my eye this week on Pinterest

Another lovely embroidery pattern
This is a brilliant idea!  Freezing fresh herbs with butter or olive oil in an ice tray.  Bag it, freeze it, and use it later.


YES PLEASE.... Banana Pudding Cake!
I'm looking at my dull craft table lamp and getting inspired
I need to do this.  No more digging around for wee jars of cloves!

Oh My...How Pinteresting!


I've tried to figure out this Pinterest craze for nearly a year.  After a couple days of pregnancy lethargy and reading apathy I figured I'd give it another whirl (the whole third times a charm thing).  I get it.  I completely get it.

I thought I'd share a few pins that have caught my eye recently. Instead of linking you guys to the actually pins, I've gone to the original source of the pin in order to give credit to the artists and creators and not just the "pinners."

Crocheted mug cozy
I love this simple pattern and it will really help me practice my French Knots.
A super easy baby blanket.  Since baby #3 and Atticus will be sharing a room I plan on making two coordinating blankets of different sizes. 
I love this idea.  I'm forever passing up vintage embroidered linens because of stains.  Now I have a reason to buy them anyways, salvage the good parts, and make a quilt.  Genius!
I'm not gonna lie.  I *HATE* summertime.  I found this recipe for pumpkin biscotti and I cannot wait to make it as a companion to my pumpkin spice lattes.  Oh, Autumn, I long for thee!

That's it for now.  Maybe I'll actually do a post like this again.  If you'd like to follow me on Pinterest click the button!
