| (pin) there, done that. |
This post brought to you by the fabulous (parent)thetically speaking.
Our fearless leader, Ms. Merry Meri recently talked about
some (adorable) items and ideas that she has pinned for possible-future-bambino(s).
I can vouch for the awesomesauce-iness of one of those items, the bow-tie
onesie from Haddon & Co. (it’s as dapper as it looks). Her post got me
thinking about other home runs scored on Pinterest and the times that I struck
out swinging…(nice little baseball metaphor, huh? sometimes you just have to
let it happen).
* I made this
for my guest room – I painted the canvas an accent color and added in a second
dot color. I love the finished result.
* This chicken recipe
was not so good, I’m not sure where it went wrong. Too much lemon maybe? And
soggy green beans, yuck.
* A headband
holder was in order for J’s room – iced tea mix container for the win. (I
actually took a headband to the grocery store with me and walked around sliding
it onto containers until I found one big enough. I have the Ziploc bag with 3
lbs of iced tea mix to prove it.) She loves that she can get her headbands all
by herself.

| yum! |
* Last year, right before Passover, I made this bread.
It was the perfect way to carb-load before the holiday got under way. I would
like to make it again and try this soup
for dipping.
* Fail. I
tried so hard to make this work, but it was just not meant to be. I think I
used the wrong foam and the wrong greenery. I ended up buying a moss ball from
Michaels and shoving (literally…I’m not being dramatic) on the tied-up sticks.
* And I am smack-dab in the middle of an Etsy-inspired project
that could either be a success or a dud. Its fate lies with my hot glue gun.
Going through my pins as I wrote this, I realized how
many ideas were lying dormant in my boards – so I am off to DIY, cook, organize
and create a unique, functional wall shelf by simply hanging an old baby grand
piano on the wall (I mean, c’mon. if you get a little lost in
Pinterest-fantasy-land, click on over here for a reality check)

of the fun of Pinterest is talking about it with fellow addicts! What have been
some of your most successful pins? Any flops?
