that’s pinteresting

I waste a lot of time on Pinterest - here are some of my favorites from the last week or so.  Click the image for the original source.

 

This looks like my favorite time of day in Michigan during the winter.  Everything is blue and orange and pink… warm and cold at the same time.  It reminds me when I used to get home from class in college, after trudging all the way across campus in the twilight and finally making it back to my warm cozy dorm room.


This is how I picture myself internally.  Sort of nerdy but totally a bad ass.


I want one of these cars so so so badly!  Too bad I would need to be independently wealthy to afford the gas…


More inspiration for my pixie cut.  Once the summer humidity hits, I envision letting it go wild.  I hope my wavy hair behaves as beautifully.


I so want a tattoo! I’m scared of the pain but I’m hoping one day soon I will just go for it.  I have plans for at least a couple of different tattoos to represent my home (Michigan) and my family, but down the line I’d LOVE to get a sleeve or chest piece that has something to do with my crafting loves.


Pitbulls are so sweet.  We’re a long way off from a house with a yard (which is the condition for adding another dog to the family) but I hope to have one of these sweeties someday.


Um, my life mantra?  Enough said.

 

Whoops! Two dogs in one post.  Clearly I have puppies on the brain.  But seriously, look at those ears!  How do you resist doggy elephant ears?

Does everyone know about the Handmade Ryan Gosling meme by now?  If not, you’re missing out!!

Obviously, the appeal is in having a hottie like Ryan Gosling be all sensitive and caring about your potentially off-putting craft hobby/obsession.

After a marathon session of Dr. Who and holiday knitting (wherein I forget to change out of my sweatpants for the duration of the weekend) or several nights upstairs cutting fabric for Etsy projects… a girl needs to know that she’s not totally alienating her fella.

I love sending these to David.  I can totally imagine him saying this.  He has a standing request for a cabled knit cardigan and every now and then I send him a flurry of Ravelry links to patterns and yarn colors I think he’d like.

And this…a hazard of sharing an office/closet with your crafting girlfriend.

New chest piece idea? Yes!  Luckily, I totally don’t have to imagine all the time.

A friend of mine made me my own Handmade David magnets for Christmas.  Luckily he was amused (I think) by them, rather than horrified.  They live on our fridge and are a sweet reminder that even though the crafts can take over my/our lives, he’s still one of my biggest supporters.

PS. When David and I first met online, he told me that one of the things that he was attracted to was my assertion that I was a “kick ass knitter.” At least he (sort of) knew what he was getting himself into.
