Fun Find Friday-Pinterest Week 5

FINALLY. I love technology until it fails me. Spending two days without the internet is a nightmare in my house. It really is amazing how 15 years ago the internet was so new and now I can’t function a day without it. It is truly the most influential invention of the 20th century.

Anyways, now that I am back here is what I have been doing for the past two days. I finished the second quilt top for the bunk beds. This one is for Elizabeth so I changed the colors a little. I added some plain purple squares and more flowers. Same fabric line Echo as the previous quilt but a few choice colors that I hadn’t incorporated. I am really happy with how it turned out.

Now all to do is the boarder, backing, and quilting. I might try to quilt it myself but I haven’t decided if I want to take the time or just pay someone do it it and get it done sooner.

The truth is I wasn’t totally away from the internet thanks to my smartphone so I spent some of my free time checking out Pinterest on my phone. Here are my favorites from this week:

Mini Screen Printing. Adorable for printing on fabric or adding an embellishment. 

 I love the piping details and the sweet color combination on this corduroy dress. I really need to incorporate more piping in my sewing.

 This summer heat has been too long, probably because I am carrying around an extra 25lbs. I am ready for fall and this post has given me some inspiration for getting back to pre-baby weight.

 Great step-by-step tutorial on the double braided headband. I love this look.

 Cinnamon Roll Cake. This reminds me of my Grandma’s breakfast bread recipe that I have tried to make over and over and cannot get right. A very good substitute for special morning breakfasts.

 Neapolitan Rose Cake. I love this cake and color scheme. It would be perfect for a “I love Paris” party theme.

I hope you all watched Project Runway last night. I have been behind because of the Olympics but my DVR is set and ready to watch tonight. HAPPY PINNING.

Heather and Jessica are both moms that share a love for DIY projects. A few of Heather’s favorite things are pearls, rhinestones, and her glue gun. Jessica loves to find ways to fuel her fabric obsession! Have fun getting to know them through their creations!
