{pinterest make me challenge} Coin Purse

The first of the handmade Christmas gifts are completed.

I came across a challenge last week on Blossom Heart's Blog and thought why not.  I have 1000's of things pinned on Pinterest and I it have become my biggest time waster since it's invention.  I lay in bed and pin from my iphone when I should be falling asleep (and I wonder why my husband won't buy me an ipad for Christmas)

The pattern for these is from Gabby's blog.  My version has a little mistake in them (I am only fairly new to this crocheting thing)  I think that they look great though and are just big enough to hold in your hand or pocket and keep your money safe in your bag for tuckshop.

These girls have been fantastic for my little miss and I really like the idea of the buddy systems in schools.  Fingers crossed that Amelia meets some lovely girls next year that she can look up to.

Getting Pinned

I have found another (clear throat)  ADDICTION. 

Becky mentioned the other day that she was a little hooked and enjoying it.  Without a second thought I managed to get an invite from Elissa and I was in creating boards and pinning.

It is GREAT.

I have managed to clean up not only my desk but also the favourites that I have been saving on my computer are now all here in one place - how great is that for orgainisation?

One of my favourite things is the ability to pin anything from anywhere (by adding a little tab to your tool bar)  I had a few cut outs of ideas the other day and they are now gone and replaced with pins on pinterest.

And because a blog post is not complete without a few pictures here are a few favourites at the moment...

Let me know if you are pinning, I would love to follow you.  If you too would like to PIN - send me a message with your email and I will send you an invite.
