Flying Scissors love to craft

Swap a Magazine or 2,3,4…

flyingscissors — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 16:02:41 +0000

Do you love magazines?

I do!

I try to read the following monthly or bi-monthly.

Living &more (german), Marie Claire Idees (France), we love living (new german mag)

Hus&Hem (Sweden), Nordis (german), Cut ( german), Mixtape (Australia)

I would love to do and organize a Magazine swap. So welcome in from all over the world and participate.

Myself would love a copy from Frankie (Australia) , Ready made (USA), Jamie (UK), Family Living (Sweden).

I also love cataloges like Toast, Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters….would you be kind and send me one?

HOW DOES THE SWAP WORK?

Send me an e-mail to flying-scissors@gmx.de

and tell me that you want to participate and introduce yourself in some sentences.

Answer the following questions:

Where are you from?

What kind of magazines do you want? And from where?

What kind of magazines could you send?

With how many participants do you want to swap?

————————————————————

You can send magazines/catalog from your stash or you can buy new ones.

I thought 10 $ + shipping would be a good amount and can include 1-3 magazines/catalogs.

So spread the word, join in and we´ll have some fun!!!

before/after Wedding

Do you have your wedding ahead?

My big day is soon to be 5 years ago.

Beautiful, special, extraordinary, enjoyable and medieval themed.

In August we will have our 5th anniversary. What? Where have the years gone so fast?

If i could have my wedding day before me, i wouldn´t change many things.

But i would put some fun/creativ things to it, that i didn´t knew of/or needed 5 years ago.

Like a Photo Booth:

flyingscissors — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 22:39:25 +0000

Kind of a wintersleep that i´ve been in lately. The last three month have just flown away like a whirlwind.

We had some sweet family related christmas days. A new month, year and decade has begun and with it on the way came snowfun.

We had some lovely friends around the last weeks and in between i made me some time for crafting. Espacially Granny squares and blankets. As you can see:

My work! one finished

the other one still in progress

Crocheting granny squares has become popular the last year. Many projects popped up on the blog and www-world.

Like a granny a day flickr group from Pip – Meet Me at Mikes. She has done some good video tutorials on how to crochet granny squares.

A great picture tutorial step by step how to granny square can you find on Katjas cute maedchenmitherz Blog.

If you need a german granny square tutorial you can find a great one here.

Then i want to introduce you to my two crochet queens:

Lucy – Attic24 and

Carina – Carina´s Craftblog

So join in, in the fun and get creative, addicted and in love.

you could lighten up there family life.

This woman rocks. I can tell you. Even if i´ve just known here since some month in the big blogging world all i can say about her is:

Jamie is big hearted, funny, talented and very creative.

She and her family have had some hard month behind them and life isn´t that easy in these days, too. If you are interested. Read her story.

Darling Jamie is running a Silent Auction until Friday and this is what you can get:

So go over to her blog and do a bid if you love and like Polaroid, Buttons and Vintage wooden thread spools.

She also offers custom embroidery like this woodgrain tree trunk:

This would be a great present for a loved one.

And as a tribute to a blogging friend enjoy some great music.

I´m no artist

flyingscissors — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:11:37 +0000

but for those 500 pencils i would love to be one.

How would it look like to draw with the Norwegian sky or a Drizzly Afternoon? It could inspire to everything.

Imagine how it would be recieving 25 coloured pencils every month for 20 month. Maybe i would display them like this. Or find new ways and ideas.

I would definetly have much fun with these pencils, colours, names and stories.

What about you?
