Instagram killed the blogger in me. . .

Sung to video killed the radio star- yup showing my age again. . .here, let’s try it again, with me this time

Instagram killed the blogger in me . . .

hmmmm. . .well almost.

Instagram is really cool for:
1. Instant gratification – sooo many people all connected by a little hashtag, all willing to share
2. Lighter/faster feed than Flickr
3. Huge, HUGE source of inspiration – why do I always picture Julia Roberts when I string a couple huge’s together, the arms waving in the air. . .is it from a movie?

But Instagram does have some drawbacks; photo resolution is meh and it sure doesn’t allow me to wax on poetically. . .I ask you, where else can I pontificate uninterrupted?

So I have a couple things I’d like to show you. We revamped my sewing corner:

Let’s get to work mum!

I’ve ventured into pillow making – talk about instant gratification!

VW a la Tula Pink. . .

Tried our hand at yarn dying, thanks to the awesome Kit Club from Fresh Stitches. . .

Who knew? Another use for Kool Aid!

I’m working on a little sweater for Nipper1

Nipper1 sweater progress.

Using up a charm pack trying out the Twister Tool – just about out of my system. I think this is going to be a little bathroom foot warmer. .

Twister Tool almost out of my system. . .

And now that I’ve accumulated some more scraps and measured the size of the Ikea expedite cubbies – some scrap buckets are in order!

Oh, and block two of Bring Me Flowers BOM is done.

Bring Me Flower BOM Month 2

good thing because block 3 arrrived 🙂

Thanks for checking in and if you’re looking for me, you can find me on Instagram at @lalinsocal. . .I’ll organize some more later in the week 🙂
