Commentary on itself

One of the things that is great about Pinterest is the self commentary and generally funny things people share. I found this one today and couldn't help but be amused, repin, and share with you. It highlights one of the things that I've heard some people complain about. If you are crafty or have practiced something many times, it may be easy to replicate what you see. But oh too often, the reason you've never tried a project before is because its beyond your own skill set. The person who originally posted it may have worked on many similar projects or created many similar recipes and is leaving out the learning process from their post, not to set you up, just because they don't have the context for it anymore. Ideally you can approach the things you see as something you hope will work, rather than something you are counting on.


Don't let these stop you from trying the new cool thing you see. Just keep your expectations in check and your humor handy. Like these folks clearly did.
