Pin It Weekly #193

Here's the catchphrase: What are you pinning this week?

Noelle Wingate has a lovely Pinterest page full of ideas and fun. One of her boards is called "Dollar Store Crafts" and I love, love, love it!

Another follower, Lucinete Silva, has only four boards, but you need to check out her collectible China board. If I ever go missing, that's where I'll be!

I want to hold this cup in my hand. I want to feel the texture and the weight of it, and run my fingertip along that top ridge. I want to see the colors and figure out the little flower dots. Yes! I want this cup!

Belgin Goztepe Kouuncu has thirty boards. I can't read the titles, but I can tell you that they have hundreds of pins and those pins are interesting. From the pictures I'd say "tavuskusu" means peacock.

Click here to visit my Pinterest page! Here's hoping you're having a great week! Richard and I just celebrated our 57th birthdays, so we're feeling a little older. lol But we're also gearing up for Mardi Gras, which cancels out age. See how that works in Louisiana? We stay young by celebrating life! How do you stay young?

Pin it Wednesday #10

Woo whoo!  Celebrate!  Milestone!  

Pin It is in double digits! 

Yay!  and all that!

What am I doing to celebrate?  I'm including a silly poem a la Dr. Suess.  Enjoy!

         

          

Fairy pins to begin
and quilty pins we all win.
One pin, two pins, pin again
happy pins, scary pins to attain.
Sing, dance, juggle and jog
chickens, barns, horses and hog
There's a pin, there's a pin, there's a pin!    


         
  




 Red pins, blue pins, green ones, too.
Maybe we should pin a zoo.
Lily, rose, myrtle, daisy,
There's a pin, there's a pin, there's a pin!
but after those some pins get hazy.

                                                                                                                                               

 

Places, faces, graces galore
there's just so much for us to adore.
Every thing that you might want
Every place that you might haunt
Every way to take a jaunt
There's a pin, there's a pin, there's a pin!




 

 

           


               


 Chocolate, candies, cakes and cream
 so much fat that you might scream.
Can't sleep?  Take a peep.
Need a doc?  It's how to wait.
On the run, while you wait, 
unless you read, it's all you need.
Books, schools, funnies, rules
There's a pin, there's a pin, there's a pin!   

        
                
   

  

I admitted that I'm a little obsessed with Pinterest a few weeks ago, remember?  I thought I'd try to get a handle on that.  It's not so difficult, getting a handle on something.  I figured it was just a matter of not going to the Pinterest site.  Of course, the real problem is that I can't avoid the computer altogether.  That would make it much easier.



I've done fairly well, it turns out.  I'm down to pinning only once or twice a week.... visiting the site less often than I visit my Facebook page.  Of course, I admit that I keep up with family on FB, so there's a really good reason to check it at least daily.  

Then there's Etsy, I do have to check on my shop, which I reopened only a few days ago.  I also need to add a few more items in the shop.  I won't even mention all the things I need to get onto the computer for just to keep up with schoolwork.  In fact, I have a couple of new programs to learn just to keep up.

So apparently I can't live without a computer.  I need it for several good reasons and I like playing on it--not games, that's for the kids as far as I'm concerned.  No I play on Electric Quilt and Pinterest.  Ah well, there's fun to be had in all manner of places and things.  

I may not let my fun control me, but I do enjoy find photos of beautiful antique linens and laces, ancient gold-trimmed costumes, the china that I love, the newest fabrics, quilt inspiration, yummy-looking foods (especially desserts) and various other collections.  

Happy pinning....uhm, I mean quilting,
Mary
