pinterest resolutions – a mid-year update

July 26, 2012 4 Comments

Pinterest resolutions. Why am I talking about resolutions in July?! Because I just realized I’m majorly slacking on mine. I decided this year that I would do Pinterest resolutions by rounding up some of my favorites pins and deciding to tackle one a month. Here is the image as a refresher.

And here is where I currently stand…
  • Canvas prints using gel medium and transparencies – Fell off the radar completely.
  • Make a piece of furniture with hairpin legs. – Purchased the legs!
  • Learn to crotchet. – Not even close.
  • Start a quilt. I won’t say I will finish it but I will start one in 2012. – Yeah, no.
  • Make freezer paper stencils.- Done. Multiple times here, here and here as evidence.
  • Paint a rug. – Nope.
  • Plant an herb garden.– Does making a planter count?
  • Paint another piece of furniture.– Not yet but the pieces have been purchased so that is halfway there, right?
  • Learn to use vinyl on my Silhouette. Done successfully a few times
  • Upholster a piece of furniture. – I’m not making much progress on this list, am I?
  • Repurpose an item for decor.– Nope.
  • Finish a gallery wall.– Sorta, kinda, but not really.


Not actually going at the pace I thought it would be. I think my last two quarters are going to be very, very busy!

Did you make a pinterest resolution this year? New Year’s related or otherwise? Are you sticking to it or falling behind like I am?

Thanks for following Directions Not Included!

    Good for you for making them, me no way!
    I always say “oh maybe next year” but at least you have some goals. Maybe they shouldn’t be resolutions, just goals.

    You can do it! I made a resolution to eat better and get in shape, so far it’s been working out for me 😉

    You are doing better than I. Though I do have quite a few half done projects. Can I add them together?
