Pin it to Real Life

A Note to My Readers: I want to thank everyone who comes here - I consider everyone of you an important part of my "community" and I am so thankful for the world wide web that makes such a unique and diverse community possible. It means so much to me when you take the time to leave me a comment or share the posts that you think have some value.

Yesterday's post has already been viewed thousands of times and shared more than any post I have written previously. It amazes me, in such a good way, to see words that are near to my heart be spread as something of value to others as well. Thank you, from my heart and home to yours.

I think I've mentioned my deep love of pinterest before, right? Something about taking it behind the bleachers and . . . Well, we've taken our relationship to the next level.

I was getting ready to make a lifelong commitment and offer to have Pinterest's babies when it occurred to me that I was really in a onesided relationship. Pinterest, my dear Pinterest, was doing all the work.

What good are all of my fabulous pin boards if all they remain are online pinboards. Well, because I am so committed to this relationship, I decided to put my back into it. Ahem, so to speak. I decided to start pinning things to real life too.

Seriously, Pinterest, we just got that much better together. Truly, madly, deeply.

I picked a few pins to start with and here is baby number one:

I pinned a beautiful baby quilt (see it here) some time ago. Then, a dear friend asked if I would pretty-please make her sweet son a baby blanket. Yes of course! And I knew just the one. Pinterest and I work together like that - two peas in a pod . . .

It took me some time (has it really been so long? are we still friends? can you forgive me dear friend?) but here it is in pictures - and as you read this, it is in the mail to its rightful owner. I send it with love.
