Pinterest Wednesday

I’m working on getting everything ready to go for Sunday’s Big Shoot! (it’s almost here! Already!)

That said, I haven’t had a lot of time to play on Pinterest, or facebook, or the blog….sewing, sewing, sewing!

But, I managed to find a few gems in the spare moment or two I scrounged together. (note: I wasn’t able to find much source material for these, so, as always, please contact me if you have info)

Enjoy! (follow me here: http://www.pinterest.com/trappedintime/)

Pinterest Wednesday

I’m changing things up a little bit around here to free up more time to work on orders. Attempting to blog 5 days a week was just making me crazy (or making me ignore the blog), so I’m scaling back to 3 days a week.

That said, who knows what will REALLY happen.

So, since I really enjoy sharing my Pinterest finds with you all, I’m moving Pinterest Friday to Wednesday!

My favorite finds of the week (and, as always, you can follow me here: http://www.pinterest.com/trappedintime/):

Portrait of a young woman, Sweden, c.1915

Designer Bill Gibb

Photographer Christian Tagliavini, from his series 1503 (2010) and Dame Di Cartone (2008).

My favorite Pinterest finds of the week (follow me here: http://www.pinterest.com/trappedintime/).

I’ve cited photographer/etc where possible–that’s the down-side to Pinterest. A lot of authership/ownership is lost in re-pins.

Ah, Friday again! Looking forward to a weekend filled with gardening, sewing & a crawfish boil! Here’s to hoping the rain holds off for the outdoor activities, and that you have a fabulous weekend yourself!

Spring

April 2, 2014 / trappedintimedesigns / Leave a comment

Spring has started to show it’s face around these parts in bursts and bright colors.

The azaleas have exploded in a hot pink fury of petals.

The bees are in heaven.

We have 5 regular big, fat, bumble bees that visit.

They hover around me anytime I’m in the garden.

Like they want to play.

I talk with them, and they buzz and zoom and dive.

I’m so glad they finally have some flowers to revel in!

A Pinterest thread led me to try growing some veg from cuttings that would normally go into the compost.

My kitchen window is bursting with wee romaine lettuces.

Scallions, too–which grow so fast!

I have plans to try the romaine in some potting soil next–perhaps a window box on the inside of the kitchen window?

It will be too, too hot for those dainty leaves all too soon outside.

Seedlings are emerging in the garden–I hope to snap some pics this weekend.

We’re back from an impromptu visit to SC. Two 12-hour drives within 4 days! A “Frozen” themed birthday party for an amazing 8-year-old. Much fun was had, and not a single picture did I manage to take. *sigh*

Obviously my feelings of being overwhelmed have continued on, undisturbed, as evidenced by my almost-complete disappearance here. Maybe next week will be better.

Until then, I give you my favorite Pinterest-finds this week. Have a lovely weekend!

Lazy Days

February 24, 2014 / trappedintimedesigns / 2 Comments

So, I disappeared for a few days. It wasn’t intentional. It was a spur-of-the-moment-hiatus. From pretty much everything. G was out of town all week, leaving me and the kitties to fend for ourselves. The weather was all over the place. The orders were a little sparse. The audio-book wasn’t delivering. The stack of items to sew up wasn’t singing to me. I was waiting on mountains of fabric to arrive.

It all added up to me, a cross-stitch project that I’ve been working on for 3 years, lots of hot coffee and tea, a blanket and Netflix.

Also: re-arranging the living room.

But, I’m back, ready to go, if not raring. Maybe it’s the time of year? The not-quite-spring but not-quite-winter weather?

So, I’ll leave you with some pretty for your Monday morning. My morning started with my asking the universe why I couldn’t just have one more Sunday before starting the week. Ah, universe, how you vex me.

These are my favorite Pinterest images from last week. Come join me at: http://www.pinterest.com/trappedintime/

So, like most of the world, I’m on pinterest (you can find me here: http://www.pinterest.com/trappedintime/).

While I sat here today wondering what I’d post on this Friday– this Friday that has me finishing up some orders, shipping some others, looking forward to this evening (movie night with G–and POPCORN!), doing the generally boring, everyday things–I figured I’d share some of my favorite pinterest image finds from the week.

It’s my way of doing a blog post without really doing a blog post. I’m sneaky like that.
