I'm on the lookout for a craft blog that gives me lots of inspiration; you know the type, with pictures so pretty you just want to get down to the craft shop and get started. I like vintage, shabby, kitsch, cath kidston-y, americana, french type things (or like my lovely dh calls it, 'my crafty sh1t'.

I can knit and do general crafting but unfortunately no crochet or quilting. I'd be most grateful for your blog suggestions, thanks so much.

Warning Pinterest is more addictive than crack.[hgrin]

Some amazing ideas on it.

renka PM me your email address and I'll send you an invitation :)

witchofwoo I think you mean it's more addictive than crack coated in yummy christmas fudge, wrapped up in festive wrapping and washed down with a candy cane vodka :o

Sorry for being a dip, but I can't see how to unfollow someone. I have read the FAQ and it says it is possible, but I am not seeing where/how.

ChinaInYourHands · 21/10/2011 16:48

I am planning on having a very painful something this weekend (period or headache, haven't decided) so that I can send DH to the park with DC for a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong walk while I Pinterest myself silly.

nohun you should have a red button under the name of the person you're following and you should be able to click "unfollow all"

Pippaandpolly · 21/10/2011 20:56

OK, I have now successfully wasted hours on Pinterest. And can tell I will waste many more! It's wonderful. Have followed everyone on this page who's given their name. I'm Chadpie if you want to follow me Blush

NoHunIntended · 21/10/2011 21:15

Thanks - it's not as clear as 'unfollow', but I think I've done it!

Flubba · 21/10/2011 21:15

Who are you? I couldn't find a chadpie? This is me .

Flubba · 21/10/2011 21:17

Oh, sorry nohun it was a few weeks back, but they changed it a couple of weeks back and I haven't 'unfollowed' anyone since.

NoHunIntended · 21/10/2011 21:17

Just started following you, Pippaandpolly, my photo is of my DH and me with DS standing on a wooden toadstool.

Pippaandpolly · 21/10/2011 21:20

I'm having trouble unfollowing too - it seems to have automatically made me follow people I'm friends with on Facebook Confused. Also, it sends me loads of emails and the help section says go to preferences, but I can't find preferences! Gah. Oh well, am too busy looking at all the stuff to really mind!

Flubba did you find me? Maybe you need a capital C? Not sure - sorry!

NoHunIntended · 21/10/2011 21:20

Thanks - have managed! I don't know how I inadvertently followed some people - I am sure I just 'liked' one of their photos.
I am following you, Flubba.

Pippaandpolly · 21/10/2011 21:22

Found you Nohun!

Oh Pinterest will be the death of me China.

My children are starving and my house is like a midden since I joined only last week. Had an invite hanging around for ages and didn't have Twitter or FB to join. So I set up a Twitter that I've no idea what to do with but who cares, Pinterest is better. Grin

Will go and find you all - I'm here if you want to have a lookie.

Flubba · 21/10/2011 21:30

Ah yes, needed a capital C - have you got no boards yet or is it playing up?

I need sleep - might be a good thing if it is! :o

Flubba · 21/10/2011 21:32

Oh ignore me, I am being Exceedingly Thick. must sleep :)

NellVarnishedInAPuffOfSmoke · 21/10/2011 21:36

Flubba - I like your boards, am following you now but I should be ironing. God it's so addictive!

China I like Attic24, happylovesrosie and kitschenpink among many, many others!

But to be fair, I have actually made stuff this week so Pinterest has spurred me on.

Solo · 23/10/2011 13:00

I like thelongthread.com - lots of inspiration, and tutorials, but also things that she likes, too. And I'm addicted to Pinterest too.

I know Little Cotton Rabbits, their rabbits are so in demand that they have to do a 'draw' when there are any available for sale. I've been unlucky so far and haven't won.
