Pinterest + Pincushion



Have I already said how much I LOVE Pinterest? It's exactly what I've been looking for to save the amazing creations I come across on the internet and pictures of what-not, and to collect ideas and things that make me laugh.



I ADORE Pinterest. It's almost perfect. I can only think of 2 things that I would like to change: the ability to make a board private (sometimes there are things we don't all want all our family, friends and the world seeing - the sex of our impending baby, our wedding plans or the like...) and also that the pictures disappear if the original is taken down or moved. Obviously Pinterest can't actually store the gazillion amazing pictures people pin, but I worry about losing the ones I have pinned.

I have found so many great ideas to help me get organised (I love organising and being organised), lots to do or make with the boys and tons of gorgeous things to sew or create.

Here is one of the first things I made, based on an idea from a "Pin". For those not in the know, a Pin is an image that has been pinned on Pinterest. Pins are pinned onto boards, which you can organise anyway you want. My cushion is based on one from grosgrainfabulous.blogspot.com

A pin cushion attached to my sewing machine. I can't tell you how much time this is going to save me. I am always leaving my pin cushion next to where I was pinning, or on the ironing board or next to the coffee machine (mmmm, coffee!).

Now I will always have one right where I need it!
