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 ...
