Pinned projects

Pinned projects will be an ongoing random blog spot where I share attempts at projects mostly found on the internet from Pinterest and other places. Today’s share is a success. It went from seen to done in about a weeks time although actual hands-on time was about 15 minutes at the Home Depot while we tried to decipher what tags went to which ropes and another 15 or so at home working on the rigging. Our little climber is challenged by the ropes but can do it with some help and thinks it’s a lot of fun.

I took a neat little stop-motion-y picture thing on my phone camera but I have NO idea how to make that do it’s thing anywhere but on my phone. If anyone can help out with that shoot me a note of some kind. On iPhone, I think they’re called live photos but I can’t seem to figure out what LG calls them.

On with the photos. Now that the weather is changing we’ll have to learn how to do this with shoes on. (Mom if you’re reading this she had something in her hair when we went out, took it out while I rigged the rope and would not let me put it back in.)

Tell friend you’re heading off to exercise.
Go to the bedroom to get out of your jeans and into some workout pants.
See load of towels on bed.
Go to fold towels.
Remember that you told yourself you were going to vacuum out the tote they live in before putting them away.
Get vacuum, vacuum tote.
Take vacuum to bedroom because you might as well vacuum the mattress while you change the sheets.
Vacuum out the two baskets you and hubster keep your worn but wearable clothes in.
Go to other room to find small basket for tiny worn but wearable clothes to keep them off the floor (after only two years of meaning to do so).
Take sheets off bed and vacuum it.
How does ALL THAT crap get UNDER the sheets anyway???
Put on fresh sheets.
Get quilt and cover and assemble those.
Darn it you meant to vacuum the overhead light before changing the sheets.
Grab one of the dirty sheets and toss it over the bed under the light, vacuum, throw it back in the dirty pile.
An hour and a half later be frustrated you haven’t exercised.
Also realize that in addition to getting exercise pants way back when you also needed to pee…
You’re not in exercise pants and you still haven’t peed.
