Staying creative...



from the blog Urban Comfort

Wandering around blogland I found this wonderful list at Urban Comfort.  There are days when even with all the helpful hints on Pinterest and in my many magazines and books, I still need help.  Maybe I need focus.  Well - anyway, I thought this list was interesting and helpful.  Hope you do too!

Take care and stay/get creative!!!  It's good for the soul.

Comfort over Style...and a Giveaway!




Norma Jean - my photo helper!

 





Hey!  Don't you have
something else to do???





Crazy cat!



I'm at the time in my life where comfort is more important than style...at least when I'm at home.  My home attire has evolved to an all time low... leggings, light weight fleece, light weight quilted vest, fleece socks and Birkie's.  Not that pretty but warm and the Birkie's keep my back healthy and almost pain free.  Ugh!

As usual, Norma Jean was all over my photo shoot of my feet - making it interesting to get pictures (why I'm sharing, I'll never know!)

I'm supposed to be cooking for hubby so he has something to eat while I'm gone besides his usual Mac and Cheese with a can of chili added.  He never even asks but my wifely guilt sets in and sometimes he gets some meals in the freezer.  Although sometimes, those items are still in the freezer when I get home from five day camp.  Gotta love him!

Our grandson, John, was here for a couple of days over the weekend.  Grandpa helped him with his Pinewood Derby car so Gram (me) interrupted the bonding and got a couple pictures of their project.  On my way back to the house, I spotted some little galvanized buckets I had Hubby buy a few years ago.  I forgot the project they were purchased for but thought with the chalkboard craze, I would ready them for our spring sale. 

However, while on Pinterest this a.m., I spotted a great idea created by French Country Cottage and when I followed Courtney's link to her page, I discovered a giveaway!!!  Yay!  So you could click on her link and sign up to win a $100 Lowe's gift card.



So now I can get them ready for our Farmgirls Country Sale in June by adding a chalkboard tag!  I'll embellish them a bit more but how clever to just use them for organizing!!!

I better go cook or sew or pack for my quilt camp!

Take care,

Bonnie



My Interest in Pinterest...

For a compulsive/obsessive person like me, Pinterest is my new addiction.  I have 100+ boards and over 3,000 pins.  It's a cheap hobby...just costs me  time.  I consider it a business expense and time well used...works for me as an excuse anyway!

I usually check in after 10 p.m.  Not that good of an idea...getting all craft overwhelmed and stimulated is a sleep depriver.  But I continue to do it anyway!!!  What would I accomplish in a day if I started checking DIYin' It right after breakfast???

My computer area has multiple project lists - stuff I think have already somewhere in the house, new barn or old pole barn and then stuff I need to find/buy somewhere else...like Joann's or the thrift store or ?

My brain is on overload and overdrive - more overload than overdrive.  I see from other Pinteresters that I am in good company.

Gotta go - its getting to be that time of the day!!!
