Pinterest Fail!

Having made quite a few of my own domestic blunders (many of which are accounted on this blog) I was quite pleased to discover PinterestFail.com

I highly recommend it for anyone frustrated with their own pinterest results. You are not alone!

Also, I think a lot of these disasters are learning opportunities. I *still* cannot bake a layered cake to save my life, but not everything I do ends up in the trash these days, or with me in tears.

Chalk failures up to learning, and keep trying!

The New Domesticity

I heard a fascinating interview on WUNC's The State of Things today at lunch about the new Domesticity with Emily Matchar, the author of "Homeward Bound".

Why do you care?

1. Emily is going to be at FlyLeaf books tonight, if you're interested.
2. You should listen to/read the interview.  There's great insight about why Middle Class Gen Y'ers are embracing crafts and diy lifestyle.  We are growing our own veggies, canning, and forming our own internet knitting circles (like on ravelry.com)
3. You might want to buy the book too! She was very interesting to listen to.
