Pinning myself down

I've jumped on yet another time-sucking digital interest ... Pinterest.

I'm enjoying the fun of searching and putting the cute things I see in one place.  But in the few days I've been doing this there are few things that are bugging me.

1.  With all this searching I'm feeling really unhappy about what I have in my life.  I am after all looking a lot at what other people have and WANTING.  Isn't that one of the commandments?  Thou shalt not covet?  I know I already have a problem in this department.  Maybe it needs to be limited to like one day a week.

2.  Every time I find more craft projects or things to sew, I start to feel a bit stressed out.  Because my list of projects to finish is already longer than my arm, adding to it makes me feel like there's not enough money or time for anything.

3.  Which brings me to point 3, Where's reality on Pinterest?  Really, we all don't have $300 to spend on one great outfit.  Or $500,000 to remodel our houses into mansions.  Or even $50 to blow on a craigslist find we need to rebuild, repaint and reuse.  This has long bothered me about the blogdom.  Which has me thinking I need to add a board to my pins: "The Real World."  And there I will put pins of what my life is actually like (which means there will just be a lot of pictures of laundry piles and messy desks).

All that being said, it is fun to have that creative spark relit.  I just need to make sure that it doesn't fan into a forrest fire of the greed, anger and envy (deadly sins, anyone?).
