From Pinning to Doing

Pinterest has several different effects on me.

1. It makes me hungry.

2. It makes me wish I had an ounce of crafting ability in my body.

3. It makes me want to buy a sewing machine, which would be ill-advised. (See above.)

4. It makes me want to throw out everything in my closet and fill it back up with pretties from ModCloth.

I'm not a prolific pinner, but I did spend a fair bit of time creating my Playroom Makeover board, and, as a result, the playroom is currently being made-over. I don't even know who I am anymore.

Mostly though, I just pin things and forget about them. Not anymore! I'm flipping through my boards, finding some of the several things I just HAD! TO! HAVE/MAKE/EAT! and following through.

Here are this week's projects:

The Ikea Spice Rack Bookshelves found all over the internet. I have already purchased the bookshelves, painted them and assembled them. They're now in Bubette's closet waiting for the inclination to actually hang them to strike.

Sweet and Salty Roasted Chickpeas, chosen because they seem easy, but also probably delicious.

Cinnabon Clones. I don't really have a reason for these. We're, uh, having people over this weekend? I mean we are, but they're coming for dinner and would probably find this to be an odd dessert. These also don't seem all that difficult, even without a bread machine, which I don't have. I love The Pioneer Woman cinnamon roll recipe, but it makes seven RIDICULOUS pans of cinnamon rolls. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but seven pans is a bit much, even for this girl.
