I'm starting to get that way with reading blogs too - not all of them, hence I'm reading yours - but some of them just make me feel like a quilting dweeb. Thanks for the laugh and 'getting' it. And, my organized showcase of fabric looks like a bomb went off within five minutes of me pulling new fabric for a project.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11133060208533101453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-76505217802322119472012-02-01T19:54:20.655-06:002012-02-01T19:54:20.655-06:00I'm not into Pinterest.

I do like Design-seeds for the color combos.

I love pinterest because I have friends that can see what I have tried and liked, which is great for me to not have to copy recipes for the whole state! Also like not having to weigh my old computer down with my bookmarks for quilt tutorials. <br /><br />But it is a tool, if it doesn't work for you...no skin off my nose. The world would be a terrible place if everyone were just like me.

I started pinning a LONG time ago and mostly use it for organizational purposes — not for the social aspects.<br /><br />It's actually getting overcrowded. It used to be people who had similar tastes to mine, but now everybody's doing it and re-pinning the same crap. <br /><br />I read a LOT of blogs and I pin stuff that I want to use later from these blogs. I hardly ever go on the site itself, other than to look up something I'd pinned on my own board. It's just too much to look at. And people are starting to comment on things and fight over crap like it's facebook. It's just obnoxious.<br /><br />I pin patterns for crafts, recipes, things I would like to buy, etc. Most of the pins I "collected" have been used later. We use my recipe boards when making our grocery decisions weekly — try to do one new recipe a week. I also use my craft pattern boards frequently.<br /><br />Basically, for me, Pinterest fit a need that I had. I was collecting recipes, exercise moves and craft patterns as PDFs and storing them on my external hard drive. I was almost ready to create a database for them (using Filemaker's Bento) but then I discovered Pinterest.<br /><br />Of course, I do have some fun things on there ... a board filled with attractive men is one ... but those boards have FAR less pins on them than the ones I actually use. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing!chimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061813649289820255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-33523231938937438852012-02-01T10:23:40.913-06:002012-02-01T10:23:40.913-06:00so fun...thanks for sharing...and yes, I do feel b...so fun...thanks for sharing...and yes, I do feel better about my life now!

I've wondered about the copyright issues, but I am copying work that is online already, and it links back to the original place it came from, so I think, and I could be wrong, but I believe that it will ultimately give the people whose work I admire, greater exposure as people see my pins and discover new artists or ideas from them. Perhaps I'm being naive here, but I don't see the downside. As for "drama" or somehow feeling inferior due to someone's pins, I don't get that at all. There is no drama to be had with the way I approach it, but then again, maybe I just see what I want and the rest doesn't make an impression.Carolyn S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12909991964781870553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-78504173014318662212012-02-01T08:32:27.599-06:002012-02-01T08:32:27.599-06:00I live in Scary Mom's world to be sure.

I want somewhere, other than bookmarking, to store all the ideas I like without having to click and check again and again. I saw some beauriful rooms there once called craft rooms and I just KNEW that the owners never crafted or else were major OCD people. Real ife comes with lots of scratches and dings but it is still good to have things to aspire too, although not if they make us feel worthless.

I feel it is a little like stealing unless I know who made it. I prefer to look at blogs of who and how it was made. I do not like blogs that post others work and no credit to the maker. Great if the photos are watermarked with a name but other wise it is just some photo of something they did not make. Quilt show photos with some credit to a quilter or some part of a story is great. I know pinertest has other uses but I am not sure I will be using it.
