My creative space…
I’m all about the glue at the moment.
Glue & dorcas pins. I’m enjoying mucking around with all manner of pin & pincushion ideas in the foreground while I continue with a few more major projects in the background (I promise the white mini is one of those projects).
A lovely glass half full space from last week can be found right here.
I’m trying out a new link system this week which also has an end time. Fingers crossed it works out OK. If you’ve got any thoughts on this vs mr linky please feel free to comment. I decided to stick with the text link as I think it probably encourages people to get around & have a chat.

Great photo of the glue! Is photography another of your many natural talents? did you take a course??
I like your text link – it focusses more on the people you click on to visit, to see what they're up to each week, rather than just the project itself. Much more personal!
Thanks for hosting again!

Unlike you, I am TERRIBLE at multi-craft-tasking, I am also quite nervous around strong glue (I always seem to end up with a second layer of tacky 'skin'…), so whatever you are up to has me in awe already lol.

Its good to have a thousand things on the go at once you don't get bored that way. Great photo, must put that macro lense on the wish list again.

I love visiting here each week. Easy peasy to link up today.
As for text vs. image.. I am a visual person so love the idea of images.
Love the pins you have been making – very cute.

Your creative brain must be buzzing! Can't wait to see what you come up with this time!
I'm probably preferring the word links too, but maybe try the pictures sometime just to see what its like?x

Lots of gluing sounds like fun! I was using my hot glue gun last night and kept getting glue all over my fingers. Speaking of pin cushions, I saw a pin cushion ring yesterday!

How cool to have liberty topped pins. Just read back through this week's posts and I'm totally in love. Keep it up with the glue!

i love your pins, i am so bad at glueing, i always end up with fingers stuck together or my hands stuck to the project (autosomal recessive clumsy trait)
your new linking system is probably great for naturally gifted techie types. i linked three times and think i'm in now! (autosomal recessive technophobic trait)

You inspire me with your 'can do' attitude.
Love the glue shot & those pins. How good are they! Tres chic.
Hope your week was grand. Do you still run when the weather is this icy? My god, I can barely step outside.

New link works well – but I didn't have any problems with the old one. You'll have more than enough pincushions to poke a pin at the way you're going!

Don't inhale too many of those glue fumes! Also..thanks for the new link system. I don't actually understand the technical side but it works fine.

Your pins are quite amazing, so tiny and perfect. I like that you seem to be able to delete your link if you type it wrong in the new linky thingy

Ok I will now add a quick linky note…No technical issues with the links, but one thing that I find a bummer for a MCS junkie like myself. Is that now when I refresh your page for the newcomers all the links that I have visited turn red again instead of staying grey…Seriously no biggie at all but just a comment since ya asked

I've got so many crafty projects going on, I'm overwhelmed and haven't quite worked out which one to tackle first. It doesn't involve glue though – which is probably a good thing because last I used it I glued my fingers together!

Perhaps I shouldn't say it but I've always rather liked the smell of glue. And apologies to anyone who visits me if I seem a little whiny:)

No problems with the new link – very easy even for me. Thanks to you for hosting. I'm relatively new, but it is becoming my Thursday fun thing to do. Loving your pins. I'm a fan of glue too, so am watching to see what happens here.
Have a great weekend.

Ah yes! The fun to be had with glue. I would be lost without glue. So many projects, some crafty, some emergency situations, have been dependent on the use of glue. Bless the sticky stuff.

The only issue I have with this sort of linky bizzo, is that there appears to be a red cross above my name. And I've been relatively well behaved today.
Would it be quicker to Tarzan Grip that white quilt together?

I can not wait to start weaving again when I will be moving to a bigger flat in a couple of months. I miss the hypnotic, sooting movement.

The new link is good, had a bit of a heart flutter when you said it had an end time as I am nearly always one of the later ones on Thursday but seems to be still going for me

I've got that pin box! Inherited from my grandma.
I'm all for the text link, over the picture. That way there's an element of surprise.

I am currently jealous of your glue. I bought superglue the other day for last minute additions to dancing costumes and stupidly bought the "push button to save gluing your hands together" type glue. It doesnt glue my hands together, but I dont think enough glue comes out to glue ANYTHING together! back to the shop to buy the get it everywhere messy superglue!

Laura

No problems with the link adding, although I'm wondering what happened to the week between the last space and this one!
I love having little things to do while I'm working on something big. Gives the brain a break, and also gives the satisfaction of actually *finishing* something in the meantime.

I loved the pins I saw popping up the other day! Be careful not to glue your fingers together – that would be dramatic!
I would love to know how this link system is doing, Kirsty. I use mr Linky but it's such a pain sometimes! Thanks!

For some reason my link has a wee x beside it. Seems to be working though so maybe it's just me. It's been that kind of day… glitches, ditractions..blogs to visit. Maybe just as well I stayed away from glue today.
