Project Runway, NOT!

Missed posting yesterday, it appears.  I hate when that happens.  I didn't even have anything on the calendar--another "day off" so to speak, and yet I got busy doing stuff around here and missed writing.

Today has gotten away from me too, and while I have several things left to do, I would like to catch you up on a new hobby/obsession I have discovered.

It is called "Pinterest" and I must own that it is incredibly addictive and a huge time waster.  Even more than Facebook.  But there are moments of brilliance that come from it.

Essentially it is a "virtual bulletin board" where ideas, projects, photos, art, quotations, etc. etc. etc. are shared and you can "pin" something you like to your board for future reference.  I love the idea behind this, as I have files and file s and files saved to various folders on my computer for this exact purpose.  Someday I might need that project idea, or lesson help or DIY fix.  You never know.

Today, however, I actually DID one of those ideas...a 5 Minute skirt.  It is darling! 


So for all those minutes of looking at things I will never do, here was one that worked out great!  The best part is that The Girl is also making a few skirts (which she desperately needed for church) from ideas she found on Pinterest.  So, maybe it isn't a complete waste of time after all.
