What I'm All About

           

Get ready to witness a series of awesome Pinterest project attempts! (...successful or not)

            Pinterest, the site for “collecting and organizing things you love”, has become a widely known medium for sharing all kinds of craft and project ideas. I have always enjoyed crafting and DIY stuff, so I am taking this opportunity to attempt a multitude of the crafts, projects, and tips that Pinterest has made so popular.

Most Pins are linked to a website that has a tutorial, so I won’t be doing these projects blindly (thank God!). However, anyone who’s ever tried a new craft or hobby knows that having directions doesn’t necessarily guarantee a perfect result. But that’s the fun part! I don’t want to dish out faultless results week after week, because then I am clearly not learning or improving. I want to challenge myself, make mistakes, and become more creative in spite of it all! I want my readers to laugh along with my failures as well as learn from them. Ultimately, I want my readers to gain as much knowledge about crafting as I do.

Posting pictures and tutorials of flawless DIYs is what Pinterest is for, realistically attempting them is what I am for. Every couple of weeks I will look through popular Pins to find a project to attempt. I plan on covering a multitude of creative fields and working with a variety of materials. I will be taking on woodworking, crocheting, scrapbooking, baking, decorating, and other fun DIYs. I will keep things interesting by focusing on a wide range of projects, but I will keep things practical by picking projects that will actually help and relate to my readers.

For each project I blog about, I will make sure to include my thoughts about the difficulties, successes, practicality, and enjoyment I faced throughout the process. I will also post pictures from each important stage along the way. My readers should expect honest opinions and a thorough analysis of each project (thorough analysis?...I sound like a teacher!). My blog posts will hopefully give my readers a good look into what doing the project would truly be like.

I can’t wait to get started! For a sneak peak into some of the projects I will take on, click here.
