Did you see the link last week to another website with fancy pics but underneath 'Fuck your cluster of moody black and white pictures./ Fuck your Eames chair' etc etc.

It was brill - thought I had saved it but it's gone.

KatherineKavanagh · 06/07/2012 13:50

I made multi coloured ice cubes for the dc, teens were so impressed they posted a pic on twitter!!

I feel terribly left out. I keep asking for an invite but the link they send me doesn't work.

amistillsexy · 06/07/2012 14:14

Grin did you mean to say 'crapting gifts' Arf!

I made those satsuma skin moodlights at Christmas. One worked. It looked OK.

I made a load of things I'd pinned for a Christmas Craft Fair at church. Only the jars of layered cookie ingredients sold out.

I still have lots of jars of layered, coloured bath salts if anyone needs any Grin

I loved the coloured, scented Play-Dough with cookie cutters attached (ginger bread flavour/cutter and minty flavour with a candy cane cutter). Did any sell? Not. A. One.

I have a whole load of delish looking recipes. Never make any cos I never think to look on Pinterest when I'm meal planning or cooking.

Still totally addicted though Grin

It's just a shitty spammy site in my eyes. Went on it because I like crafty stuff. It auto linked to my FB and keeps posting stuff in my name!!! WTF???

I did not give it premission!!

letsblowthistacostand · 06/07/2012 20:33

FYI: you can get blue jello on amazon. here

babyheaves · 06/07/2012 20:35

I have done fuck all.

I did it after doing absolutely sod all.

I've not pinned the fuck or the sod onto a virtual wall.

NewRowSees · 06/07/2012 20:40

This one Wow?

fuckyournoguchicoffeetable.tumblr.com/

Love it - gave me a good laugh about all the things I covet, along with thousands of other people :)

QueenMaeve · 06/07/2012 20:54

I have oodles of pins as well, and I'm full of good intentions to do stuff but have not gotten around to most of it yet. Although it is handy to keep ideas in the one place, say for decorating ideas for different rooms. I find it useful that way.
I also have a board with everything on it that I have made myself, stuff that's been on my blog, it's great that way because people see ideas and then visit the blog to find out how I did them.

Tee2072 · 06/07/2012 20:56

I got bored with it within a week. Yippee. Pinning...

ChaosTrulyReigns · 06/07/2012 20:57

Doya think we could sue them QueenMaeve for raising expectations and failing to provide impetus?

Hmm

amistillsexy · 06/07/2012 21:32

Flisspaps · 06/07/2012 21:33

MammaTJ You can stop it posting on FB

MyDogShitsMoney · 06/07/2012 21:42

MammaTJ just go into the settings and you can turn all the FB crap off.

I fricking love pinterest, I while away my evenings between MN and Pinning pretty much every night! (In my defense I'm an LP so have bollock all else to do)

I have hundreds, nay, thousands of pins. Not once have I ever entertained the idea of actually "crapting" anything!

I've cooked a couple of things and bought a couple of really cheap but (IMHO) fantastic art works but other than that nothing.

Although it has given me an endless supply of witty and sarcastic put-downs to say in my head when talking to either my mother or stbXh. Grin
