Fall Frame {pinspiration}

Fall is here.  

Anybody else super excited for a break from the horrid heat???  Me too!

I found this cute printable on pinterest

Instead of just printing it out and putting in a plain frame I decided to jazz it up a bit.  Added bonus, this didn't cost me a thing to do, I had all supplies on hand. 

I used an old canvas that I had previously painted brown.  In it's former life I used it as a calendar thing.  I used the rest of my orange glitter (used here and here) and mod podged a document frame, you know the cheapy frames that are like a buck or two at wally world.  Then sealed it with some acrylic sealer.  Hot glue it to the canvas and DONE.  

What's not to love?
Texture, check.  Glitter, check.  Walls no longer bare, check.
Happy FALL!!

Also just wanted to let you know I haven't forgot this is a "sewing blog."  I'll be posting some sewing soon.  I promise.  I had a series of unfortunate events happen with a "special order" of chenille so my sewing has been at a stand still for a while now.  But alas I have some chenille now and will be busy playing catch up. 

Pinterest...Virtual Pinboard

Are you on Pinterest yet?  If not, you totally should be!!  But I'll warn you, it can kinda be a time waster, but a fun one at that.  

So what is it?  It's a virtual pinboard.  It's like bookmarking blog posts, images, recipe, etsy stuff, products you love, etc, etc, etc, but instead of having a bunch of text links that you have to click on, it "pins" a picture for you and the link. 

Here are my boards.  I just started last week so I'm still learning and having fun filling them up with ideas and inspiration.  I LOVE this so much more than bookmarking!!!!  Mainly cause of the visual aspect of it.  I can see exactly what it is, I don't have to click on a bookmark for say a ruffle tee tutorial, it has the pic right there for me so I can see which of the five thousand ruffle tee tutorials it is. :)

Similar to facebook or twitter you have "followers."  When you click on the Pinterest logo (top left) you are taken to this screen which shows what the people you follow are pinning. 

Clicking on "Everything" will take you to this page where you can search and see what everyone is pinning.  Kinda like a way to see what's trending. 

And check out my stuff that made it's way to Pinterest.  I had no idea, till one day I was looking at my stats and saw the traffic source of Pinterest.   My Reese's Lovers Cake is making the rounds :)
