I have a new favourite hobby called Pinterest. I’ve always enjoyed cutting pics out of magazines, sorting them into themes/moods/colours and pasting them in (click here to read an old post about my scrapbooks), and this is the digital version of this hobby.
What happens is that people create accounts (you have to apply and wait for an invitation) and then create ‘boards’ according to theme upon which they pin things that catch their eye all around the net. Each pin is tagged with the URL from which it came, so it’s easy to track things down. Really, it’s delightful, and I’m enjoying heading off in crazy directions all over the web, which I haven’t done for ages. And the best part is that it’s a way to keep track of things you love without having to make a million bookmarks.
Check it out at www.pinterest.com, and click here to see what I’ve been pinning.

I have an account as well – it looks so promising and nice. The thing I don’t like is, that they only let you activate your account when you log on via our facebook membership, and then they’ll automatically download all your contacts. Basically it’s one big family with google, yahoo, facebook, pinterest – it’s all track and trace. But just recently I looped a way around it (at least that’s what I think ;)) so I’ll get my feet wet too!

I am obsessed with pinterest. I used to save tons of images I liked to my computer, now i can just save and reference them using pinterest. I pinned a picture of a couch I’ve been coveting for ages …of course it’s reupholstered in skinny laminx fabric, 🙂
