WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays
This year I have decided to really enjoy the Mystery Bom and this means running it longer that 6 months (which can be intense when applique is involved) and it also means I get time to finish some long outstanding WIPs and bits and pieces. It just feels like it's time to get a lot of my projects done. A great plan for a great quilting year.
So, what’s the problem? Pinterest.
When I should be Wipping, I am instead spending hours Pinning.
Pinterest is not new, but when it was new I decided to avoid it as I feared I would end up a seriously dedicated pinner. And now it’s all too late. I pin every day.
I have concerns about Pinterest, on the one hand it feels instinctively rude to pin someone else’s work onto your own board, just because you feel like it.
And I worry that it encourages theft of original ideas and encourages an attitude of borrowing other people’s talent on a whim.
On the other hand, it’s interesting and a great way to come across useful things. And as each image links back to the original source, it increases traffic to it's original source. At least I think that's the idea. Whether or not it's just being used as grab visuals for new ideas... I dont know. I do still feel mixed about it, I must confess. I am quite fond of these fancy cakes ...and never get tired of doors either. All these pins are on my Pinterest boards if you would like to pin or source their origin.
For me at the moment, it's far too hot to get any serious Wipping done, so it's been a nice distraction. What about you?
Do You Pin?
