Crazy Tecnnology + Pinterest Projects

I read an article yesterday that Pinterest is now the No. 3 most popular social networking site in the U.S. behind Facebook and Twitter.

Crazy I say.

It's only been around since September 2011. Impressive.

Does anyone else get the anxiety jitters from Pinterest? It sort of makes me a little coo-coo. I just keep adding to the list...

Don't get me wrong, I love it. Who doesn't? But it's a constant reminder of how many cool, crafty, thrifty, fantastic things I want to do, but just don't have the time to do.

And did you hear that Facebook bought the ever-so-popular iPhone app Instagram for $1 billion?

One billion! 

Anyways, the Pinterest article reminded me of a few things I pinned in the past few months that I actually found the time and motivation to recreate. Prior to Brian leaving and me being thrown into the single mommy game of course. Thought I'd share.

Ready, set, go!

DIY scarf made from an old sweater. 
I think the tutorial used t-shirts, but I liked the added texture the sweater brought to the table.



Prints for nursery - baby gift.
I sought out this idea on Etsy, pinned myself, and recreated in InDesign/Illustrator. Total copy-cat-move on my part, but I couldn't resist. It was too easy. These were for my sweet cousin's little girl, Avalynn. I also did some for Carson's room.


Cork Decor in kitchen.
I love wine. And we always save our corks. I finally found a way to put them to use.


Cork Monogram.
For my soon-to-be sister in-law and brother for Christmas. This little project was challenging. But I think it turned out worthy.


T-shirt headbands.
Three t-Shirt strips, braided + knot = headband. Genius.

Not my pic. From my DIY pinboard.

What DIY projects have you pinned and recreated lately?
