I’m living a colo[u]rful life today …
Every day is colourful here at Pings Towers, but today it’s especially true as I’m taking part in Cindy’s fab name game doodah over here …
If you’re over here from over there, welcome! Do have a good snoop around …
I had a lovely out-and-about-in-Brighton weekend, wandering around making contact with real people! I sat next to unknown people at cafes and engaged them in conversation. What’s the betting there’s someone, somewhere, writing on their blog “Some nutter sat next to me while I was trying to have a quiet coffee in the sunshine.” ??
I went to a couple of small pop up craft fairs and met some really interesting people …
… a fantastic jeweller called Sarah who has a great website over at www.rockcakes.com
She makes beautifully crafted witty, wry, iconic jewellery.
I love this Paper Scissors Rock necklace - silver and rough diamond (4 ct) …
I also had a long chat with a lovely lady called Lindy Wells who sews memory blankets, fab doorstops, cushions using re-cycled fabrics … great stuff.
Online, I’ve got so much to catch up on in my Reader, it’s just silly … but I'm getting through it in little batches ...
... I was totally speechless at Hadley@Flying Blind on a Rocket Cycle’s beautiful ruby star spring 241 bag … *swoon thwump … go here now and drool …
and when you've recovered, pop over to Cindy's and see how my blog got its name …
It's a Bank Holiday here in the UK today! (woot!) what are you getting up to this fine Monday?
Those of you who were visited by Irene over the weekend, I hope you are safe and dry and with enough power to crank up the sewing machine for a bit of relief ...
