I absolutely love Pinterest! My current pin count is just under 10,500 and I have dozens of boards. I alternate between pinning from the tons of food and craft blogs (I have a different system for book blogs!) and pinning after mindlessly scrolling through the "Everything" option where I can see all the pins that have been pinned and repinned recently.
At the first of the year I make a board called 52 Pins in 52 Weeks and fill it with 52 pins that I want to do over the course of the year. I've tried to include a good mix of food, holiday, and craft pins and push myself to step a little out of my comfort zone. I pin my results on my 52 Pins in 52 Weeks Results board. Some pins are wins and some are most definitely fails but it's always interesting to attempt them!
This year I hope you'll share your Pin Wins and Fails with me and link up below! The format is totally up to you. Just post about the pins you've tried over the month (it can be multiple posts) and link up here! The link up will the the last Saturday of every month and I can't wait to see what everyone is doing!
This month is seriously light. I've been in a bit of a cooking slump and between that and traveling not much got done! 2 of the pins I'm working on are gardening pins so I'm not quite sure if they are wins or fails. One involves a squash plant but mine is currently sulking and refusing to do anything so it's hard to tell anything!
So here's the pin I did get done this month!
My Results: I love all things lemon and the flavor of this was amazing. However something about the texture was a little off - almost curdled. The instructions say just to whisk everything together but I think next time I'd pull out my mixer and make sure that everything is really mixed well. Though really I think I prefer regular lemon bars to these bars so there probably won't be a next time.
I've got cherry tomatoes coming in and a few pins I'm looking forward to using them with. As well, the Tornado and I have a few projects planned for the next few weeks that we're looking forward too so July should be much busier.
If you've gotten any pins done this month I'd love to see what you've done and what you thought!
Pity about the lemon bars not being a good recipe. Have just followed you on pinterest and when I have time will do a little clicking!!
ReplyDeleteAnything lemon works for me, too bad they didn't turn out as you'd like. I am going to have to get on Pinterest and find something to make so I can play along with you! I have an account but don't get in there very much, or I get distracted when I do and look at dog photos!
ReplyDeleteI pin all the time but rarely make anything I pin. It's part of my master plan once I finish work and then I'll have to be linking up x
ReplyDeleteI pin books, Supernatural, coffee, The Originals.. and sometimes foodie thing. I recently had a cover by Kresley Cole get 100 shares. What? LOL This sounds like fun. I will share this on the Sunday Post. Do we need to link up a blog post or just our 52 pins page? I am confused.
ReplyDeleteI had a light month, too. I managed to make my lettuce planting into two pins, ha ha. I also made an actual pizza with the two ingredient pizza dough. I will just add an extra next month. I have linked up. :)
ReplyDeleteLemon cream? Now that sounds interesting. I do like lemony desserts. I think it's because of you that I got into the Thunder Point series. I didn't like the Sullivan's Crossing so much. I liked Gaiman as an audiobook narrator. My husband is watching the American Gods series; from what I can hear, boy does it sound weird.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! I paint and craft a bit for my daughter-in-law to sell at the farmer's market. This last month I painted wine bottles and wine glasses. They came out pretty well, I thought.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves lemon so he would love a lemon bar ut these don't sound like they were too great. I will have to look up another recipe maybe.
ReplyDeleteLove lemon. They sound interesting but yeah texture is a HUGE thing here.
ReplyDeleteLemon bars do sound yummy but if you have another recipe you like better no need to look for another. Looking forward to your July results.
ReplyDeleteI'm a serious lemon addict, and love recipes that include a lemon or lime flavor. I love Pinterest, but don't spend as much time on there as I should. Some days, I binge, then others I'm not there at all. I've checked you out, and love your pins, though. Hugs...
