pinterest resolutions

January 5, 2012 14 Comments

I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions but I am making myself do some Pinterest resolutions this year. Yes, Pinterest resolutions. I’m sure most of you can relate. I pin all sorts of things I will never have or are not feasible with our budget, house or lifestyle BUT for every unattainable pin, there are plenty that are completely feasible if I just sit down and try do them. 
So these are my Pinterest resolutions for 2012. Let’s put it out there now. I will tackle these 12 things inspired by a pin before the end of the year. In no particular order…
  • Canvas prints using gel medium and transparencies. 
  • Make a piece of furniture with hairpin legs. 
  • Learn to crotchet.
  • Start a quilt. I won’t say I will finish it but I will start one in 2012. 
  • Make freezer paper stencils.
  • Paint a rug.
  • Plant an herb garden.
  • Paint another piece of furniture.
  • Learn to use vinyl on my Silhouette.
  • Upholster a piece of furniture.
  • Repurpose an item for decor.
  • Finish a gallery wall.

Who out there has a growing list of pins that need to get done? Let’s start this year off right. What are your Pinterest resolutions?? Share them in the comments so we can see!

    I’ve always been fascinated with silk screening. I keep seeing it here and there on pinterest and I’ve had enough. But the end of this year I will have become a silk screening fool. {hopefully}

    I love that bunting quilt! I have so many projects pinned I think it would be impossible to do them all. Good luck!

    Good idea! My resolution is to pin healthier foods and actually make them!
