My post today is all about Pinterest. If you haven't already discovered Pinterest, why not?!! Pinterest has been around since about 2010, and although it is accessible worldwide, the reason behind this push for the UK is there are some developments (new language and location settings) which will just make it more user friendly for the UK audience. There are 300 bloggers taking part, and a big thank you to Antonia of Tidy Away Today for introducing my Pinterest post today.
Before Pinterest began, for a long while I had been after a kind of online pinboard for images. I'd tried using Flick 'favorites', but that wasn't quite right, tried using Tumblr, but that wasn't quite right either. I've always been in the habit of collecting images for inspiration. When I worked as a designer for Coats Crafts UK, they had literally only just got the first computers in the design studio. This was also before Google was created, so all our research was done the old fashioned way via magazines, books, wrapping papers, greetings cards etc. I had folders full of ideas I collected and referred to constantly. Pinterest was exactly what I had been looking for all these years. And now, the first thing I do after taking the kids to school is check my Pinterest feed.
I have lots of boards, some I refer to daily, like style (so I at least look slightly human on the school run) and garden ideas (given we've been revamping our back garden at home). But my all time favorite, is soft sculpture,

this one is my go-to place when I'm sewing, this is where all my favorite things live!
