My Almost Pinterest Christmas

may have been the last person in the world to join Pinterest. I figured the last thing I needed was another project to take me away from my commitment of finally finishing the things I had already started. But join I did this crafty, social media craze on the recommendation of a co-worker.  Before I knew it I was hooked. This was a procrastinators dream come true. Here at my fingertips was a plethora of projects that I was sure to start and not finish. Recipes I knew I wouldn't try and books I would never read. Like everyone else I began creating my own boards and pinning all of things I loved. It wasn't long before I started my Christmas list of things I would make for my loved ones. I even perused family boards for ideas I knew they would like. After all if it was pinned to their board then they certainly wanted it.   Of the dozens of pins that I collected and planned on executing, I only managed to finish three. Yes you read it right....three!

 
Two infinity scarves for my daughter and daughter-in -law and a sweater jacket for my grandson Drew. The sweater jacket wasn't completed on time so will be late (as usual) as I just sewed on the last button today. Once again my lofty ambitions were not realized.   
It is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.......





Well, I guess I know where I am headed....
at least it will be warmer than today's temperature!
 
Happy New Year!!
