Pottering Around The House

Image via weheartit

As much as I’ve grown to love winter, I do find that when the weather is a tad warmer and the sun is out shining, I’m far more motivated to get things done around the house. Such was the case over the weekend.

I am however finding that lately, my pottering around the house tends to be a bit scatter-brained. One minute I’ll be hanging out the washing, the next I’ll sit down and work on a bit of Grace’s quilt, only to find myself sorting and organizing baby clothes in the nursery all within the same half hour. Over the weekend, I just went with the flow and managed to get a range of things done.

It’s a bit the same with my decorating plans. There are so many ideas floating around in my head at the moment, I’ve been trying to jot down things immediately so I don’t forget. Similarly, while I am making progress slowly on a range of creative projects, my ‘to make’ inspiration folder is overflowing with things I’d like to try. I think I definitely need to open a Pinterest account.

Here’s hoping my muddled way of doing things lately is simply related to pregnancy…

  3. I love Pinterest. I like snooping around and looking at everyone else's pins and the idea of storing all my ideas in one easy to find location.

  4. Amanda, I can totally relate ... on the weekends I do the same thing and jump from one project and chore to the next. And I'm not pregnant!

    I just joined Pinterest over the weekend, and I'll warn you, it's addictive. Seriously. My link is http://pinterest.com/Claudia_MLB/
    Have a wonderful week,
    Claudia

  5. Ha your muddled headed way is my normal way Amanda : ) sometimes it can work ok. I definitely think the more spring like weather helps the motivation. I hope you are feeling good, and I would say yes to the pinterest sign up, it is soooo good!

  6. I know how you feel. I can be sitting working on some project when an idea hits me for something else and I start something new. Needless to say my work basket is full of 'works in progress.' I'm much worse than usual in this last month of pregnancy - I'm so restless and can't settle to do anything. I have a Pininterest account and it's great for storing ideas but also bad for putting a hundred other new ideas into my head! x x

  14. I am the same, so many things on my mind I want to do it's hard to know where to start sometimes:) I think Pinterest is great, I love looking and seeing all of the inspiration. I can see why it would be addictive but at the same time a great place to organised the things that you've seen that you like. xo
