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 ...
