Cuando estuve en Edimburgo no compré muchas cosas (viajar sólo con equipaje de mano puede ser un incoveniente a veces...) pero algo sin lo que no podía venirme eran revistas de manualidades.
En mi lista estaba por lo menos un ejemplar de Prima Makes (una de mis revistas favoritas desde que la descubrí en un viaje a Malta) pero por desgracia no la encontré en ninguna tienda. Espero que fuera por un problema de fecha de publicación y no hayan dejado de hacerla porque para mí es una de las compras obligadas siempre que piso un aeropuerto o un país de habla inglesa.
Sin embargo esta pequeña desilusión me duró poco porque sí encontré el último número de Mollie Makes (otra de mis revistas favoritas y habitual en mis compras en el extranjero) y Simply Crochet que hasta el momento no había comprado nunca.
Como es habitual la revista Mollie Makes propone un montón de proyectos de estilos diferentes (fieltro, ganchillo, costura, papel...) y artículos que nos animan a vivir la vida de una forma más creativa.
Además incluía con dos regalos que me van a venir muy bien en 2016: un calendario con 12 proyectos de manualidades diseñados por Emily Quinton y un juego de pegatinas caligrafiadas de Lamplighter London para marcar los momentos especiales.
En el caso de Simply Crochet, tal y como su nombre indica, la revista se centra únicamente en proyectos de ganchilllo aunque propone ideas de todo tipo: decoración, accesorios, amigurumi, prendas de vestir...
Esta revista también incluía un regalo, cinta para para personalizar y etiquetar los proyectos de ganchillo, una idea que no puede gustarme más.
En ambos casos también hay un montón de ideas con temática navideña pero, tal y como me pasó el año pasado con las revistas que compré en Londres, no he tenido mucho tiempo para ponerlas en práctica.
Supongo que la parte buena es que siempre me pueden servir de inspiración para el año que viene...
When I went to Edinburgh I didn't buy too many things (travelling only with hand luggage can be a disadvantage sometimes...) but something I couldn't come back without were craft magazines.
On my list I had included at least one issue of Prima Makes (one of my favorite magazines since I discovered it on a trip to Malta) but unfortunately I didn't find it anywhere. I hope it was a problem of publishing date and that they haven't stop making it as for me it is a compulsory purchase whenever I step into an English speaking airport or country.
However this small disappointment didn't last for too long because I did find the last issue of Mollie Makes (another one of my favorite magazines and also a regular purchase when I am abroad) and Simply Crochet which until the moment I had never bought before.
As usual Mollie Makes magazine proposes a lot of projects of different styles (felt, crochet, sewing, paper...) and some articles that encourage us to live our life in a more creative way.
In addition it included two gifts that I find very useful for 2016: a calendar with 12 craft projects designed by Emily Quinton and a set of calligraphy stickers by Lamplighter London to mark special moments.
In the case of Simply Crochet, as its name shows, the magazine is only focused on crochet projects although it propose all kind of ideas: home decor, accesories, amigurumi, clothes...
This magazine also included a gift, some ribbon to customise and label crochet projects, I can't like this idea enough.
In both cases there are also a lot of Christmas inspired ideas but, just as what happened last year with the magazines I bought in London, I didn't have enough time to put them into practice.
I guess that the good side is that I can always use them for inspiration next year...
