14 Things I've learned from Pinterest

1.) I am no where near as crafty as I like to think I am.
2.) Facebook is not as fun as I used to think it was.
3.) There is absolutely nothing that white vinegar, Dawn dish soap, and/or baking soda can't do.
4.) Never throw anything out. Ever. Somehow, someone, somewhere offers a tutorial on something really awesome to reuse it for.
5.) Mod Podge is a household must-have.
6.) Never buy store-bough Mod Podge. There's a tutorial on how to make your own.
7.) My sense of style is awesome on my Fashion pin board.
8.) People who see my "food" board must think I weigh 800 pounds. I really may as well rename the board to "food porn" because there's nothing on there that I don't go, "Ohhhh yeaaaah" when I see.
9.) I need to learn to crochet and knit. Asap. And my husband needs to take up woodworking.
10.) It's crack. Pinterest is crack. Before you ever use it, you don't really get it or the obsession people have with it. Then you join, get the general idea of it, and 2 hours later you reemerge having 12,000 new pins. Repeat several times daily.
11.) I'm already married, but my Pinterest wedding is coming along beautifully.
12.) People put more planning into their children's second birthday parties than I did my entire wedding.
13.) I need to visit... everywhere. I'm thinking if I start traveling today I might actually get to see half of the amazing things to see the world has to offer.
14.) Baby animals. That is all.

In Progress: Cloth Diaper storage and Upcycled bookshelf

So here's the progress on my cloth diaper storage unit. I got the idea from pinterest, so I can't claim originality.

Here's my inspiration:

Here's the result:





The original tutorial mentioned that you needed to use dressers that don't have handles, but I still was able to do this without a problem. I just unscrewed the knobs, and then used an exacto to cut a very small hole through the fabric and batting. The knobs screwed on perfectly and it looks nice.
Ever since I redid the kitchen chair fabric, I'm finding a new love for upholstering. I wonder what else I can add some fabric and batting to around here?

Now if we could just get the crib put together, a mattress, and an actual dresser for in the room and maybe the nursery will start to actually come together. Brian thinks I'm rushing things, but I'm almost 27 weeks pregnant now, and even if I didn't have the bleeding problems early on, Kayla was almost 2 weeks early. I can safely assume that this baby will also be that early since subsequent pregnancies tend to have earlier labors than previous ones. So that means we're down to 13 weeks for a 40 week, full term pregnancy, 11 weeks for a probable 38 week pregnancy, and less if my bleeding complications and friable cervix lead to any other issues later. It is NOT that far away.
Holy crap, it's really not that far away.
