It’s no secret that I love Pinterest. One of the reasons why I love it so much is because there are so many cool tutorials for DIY projects! No matter what you are looking for, chances are there is someone to guide you through it. It’s also a great place to find inspiration for all kinds of hobbies like photography, cooking, travel, fashion, house & home decor, and more.
Here are some of the things I’m loving on Pinterest right now. It’s pretty random, so strap on your seat belt!

i am loving pinning too! so fun and relaxing…….just wanted to tell you i made your vegan lasagna last night and it was a huge hit with a meat eating brother in law and my hubs and i made your pumpkin donuts for bfast and they were so good and powered me though a 10 mile run fabulously. thanks angela your recipes are just amazing. we toasted you at dinner :)
Hey Kalli, I’m so happy to hear that both recipes were enjoyed! Thanks for letting me know. :) Congrats on your 10 miler btw!
How cool! I am checking these out! Love the cool clock :)
I love shopping list on the wall and the clock :) Such creative ideas.
I love the online DIY community! So cost efficient and motivating!
Fellow Pinterest addict here! I am loving the holiday stuff right now especially DIY gifts. In fact, I’ve taken up knitting as a new hobby! Here’s my board –> http://pinterest.com/urbanwife/
I found this on Tumblr but posted it on Pinterest. Best family Halloween costume idea ever? http://pinterest.com/pin/174796029256912261/
Love, love, LOVE Pinterest!! Now that I have an app for it I am pinning all the time :)
My favorites are the cute pet photos, women’s fashion and the inspirations quotes.
I am obsessed with using Pinterest for wedding planning! http://pinterest.com/blueeyedrunner/
I am making the dry erase board for gifts. They are under 4.00. Awesome.
I am loving everything you put up (especially that funky clock… I want it now!). I have never been on Pinterest (*gasps*)…
but clearly I should!
Ok, clearly I’m going about Pinterest the wrong way – had I know this is how cool it can be (on top of finding pictures around the web that I like and posting to Pinterest), then I would have been spending more time on it sooner. Totally finding that addicting key to the website that I’ve missed all this time.
Love the vegan food pyramid!
Thanks so much for sharing! I especially love the funky clock and the kitchen chalkboard! My favorite find has been this crochet scarf pattern: http://peoplewebs.blogspot.com/2011/01/pattern-chunky-circle-scarf.html
The kitchen chalkboard is awesome!! And I recently picked up a very similar umbrella from Target for much cheaper! :) I love it!
Gosh, I need to get onto the Pinterest bandwagon. By the way, *random question alert* how do you change link color in Thesis? Do I have to go into the CSS? I was just think how fabuous your green links look…
I’m not certain as Eric did it, but I will ask him when he gets home and get back to you!
Love it! Pinterest is quickly becoming one of my obsessions as well. I’ve mostly been using it for holiday crafts and workout ideas so far. I love the vegan food pyramid you pinned, it’s definitely cool! I also might have to use that scarf tutorial you posted on there! :)
I am OBSESSED with pinterest!!!! I seriously have to pull myself away sometimes because there are so many fun ideas! Here’s my boards if you want to look! http://pinterest.com/brittneylhorn/
This is a fun post :) I especially like the quote abut “oh wells” and “what ifs”
I absolutely love Pinterest! I seriously need to find a way to get paid to pin….
haha now that would be nice!
I love Pinterest, too. So many amazing creative ideas. I can get lost pinning :)
ohh thanks for sharing these, pinning some right now! I’m loving exercise motivation on pinterest.
I love the idea for the “bored jar”. That would have come in handy when my brother and I were kids…I feel like one of us was always complaining to my parents that we were bored. I think it was just a way to convince them to let us have friends over most of the time. :)
I know us too…I bet my mom wishes she had one of those!
I could spend all day looking at Pinterest. Love so many of the ones you posted, especially the kitchen chalkboard and kitty. Creativity is alive and kickin’ on Pinterest. Awesomeness.
I LOVE PINTEREST! Awesome ideas. I love the dry erase board idea!
Awesome stuff! I LOVE that clock!
I finally joined Pinterest, and now I see what all the fuss is about… :)
Follow me! http://pinterest.com/almostveganchef/
I love pinterest!! So much cool stuff on there!! I love the scarf tying demo and the funky clock!!
i love the “bored” jar… and all of those quotes! pinterest is such a time sucker in my life these days :)
I love this collection, especially the bored jar. I think my kids would really get into the chance to do something fun, but would they risk getting “clean your room”? I have just started fooling around with Pinterest. Here is my “Looks delicious” board: http://pinterest.com/marcytootimid/looks-delicious/
Oh I love pinterest too! It is full of inspiration no matter the topic!
Here are my pin boards: http://pinterest.com/natalcho/
This is the coolest post I have seen in awhile. THANK You Ang for putting it all together. Such amazing ideas, wow.
I still have not even checked out Pinterest because it is just one more thing, I do not want to be obsessed with, haha!
i’m obsessed with pinterest as well! who isn’t?! And just the sweater socks alone makes pinterest worth every wasted minute!:)
HAve a wonderful Sunday Angela:) and I’m making one of your soups tonight for our family dinner, and can’t wait to share it with them.
Just going to repeat what everyone else said: I loooove Pinterest!
Another tip for keeping salad fresh longer: wash it, dry it, wrap it up in paper towel, and store in a ziplock bag. Keeps *forever*. Of course, not as eco-friendly as keeping it in a jar — I’d be curious to see which lasts longer.
Angela – I suspect the repins from your boards are going to be aplenty today!! There are some really cool ideas here. One I have seen before and love is that kitchen blackboard. Hopefully the next place we buy/move to will have room for one. Not really fitting in our little kitchen at the moment :)
Pinterest is such an inspiring place! Whether I get ideas for home decor, good eats, re-mixing my wardrobe, or a quotation to kick me in the bottom…it all motivates me to make my life a little more special!
I haven’t joined Pinterest because I have a feeling once I do, I’ll never get anything productive done! I love seeing all the fun DIY projects. :D
Ha – I just posted about my addiction to Pinterest and how I’m using it for workout inspiration.
That chalk wall is awesome – I pinned a couple DIY option for that one. The cranberry margarita you found looks ah-mazing. :)
I love all of those!! I wrote an article a while back about that same vegan food pyramid and someone brought a more updated version to my attention called “Power Plate” developed by a group of knowledgable doctors-here’s the link http://pcrm.org/health/diets/pplate/power-plate. I have post coming up about it on my Veggie Kids.
I’ve never actually checked out pintrest before, only heard about it, and now I’ve just spent 1.5 hours completely engulfed in it! Wow, I love it! I love your choices too btw. We have similar tastes :D The DIY stuff is awesome!
Great pins!!! I’m going to have to start following you – and pinning the recipes of yours that I want to try! :) If you are interested, you can follow me too – I pin lots of craft and sewing tutorials, recipes and home decor stuff :) http://pinterest.com/katherine27/
I repinned several of these, awesome finds! I agree Pinterest is a cool site (although can be a time suck), so many interesting things in one place – many that I would have never found otherwise! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the DIY Whiteboard. :)
I’m also addicted to Pinterest! I love the cranberry cocktail and the beautiful quotes:)
