Pin-Ups From The Past

Just lately I have been surprised by people putting comments on my blog about posts which I did years ago. Such as thanking me for the tutorial for making an Officer's Peaked Cap. [That appeared back in 2008, when I had only been blogging for a few months] Why is this? I thought. I wondered if people had just googled it - or maybe they had found it some other way. Then I realised people use Pinterest for such things. These five tutorials have proved quite popular down the years. I was surprised to discover I have had hundreds of pins and repins from Tracing Rainbows.

• The Officers Peaked Cap [June 2008]
• Simple Nativity Costumes [November 2010]
• Easy Fabric Box [May 2011]
• Bobbin Table [July 2013]
• Doorstop [July 2009]

Bizarrely, the other post which has been pinned and repinned a number of times is the one about purple chocolate wrappers!

Still, it is good to feel that the blog is useful to other people. 

I occasionally look at Pinterest, but don't have any 'boards'. It was useful when Steph was thinking about wedding flowers and favours to be able to check her pictures, but I am afraid it could so easily be another internet-time-waster, so I try not to get too involved with it.

Do you use Pinterest much? 

Have you ever found anything really good there?
