v day lies ahead and guess how’s spending his on the other side of the world… yes the boy. ;) nice move mister. anyways i made these arrows for my friends because this day is also for your dearest friends (don’t forget about that). if you don’t want to give them away, they look very pretty in a vase to.

all you need is some golden spray paint, white acrylic paint, sticks, a pencil sharpener, paper and a pen oh and twice as many feathers as sticks.

here is how you do it:

now if you’d like your arrows to have a pointy tip you can use a pencil-sharpener to get them this way. paint the tips white and let them dry again.

cut off the thinner part of the feathers and be sure to always have a left and a right feather for your arrow. spray paint each side of the feather gold. let them dry properly! glue the feathers to the ends of your arrows. be careful, this is the most tricky part of the quest.

if you get past this you’re nearly done. just cut the paper in stripes and write down your secret valentine massage. bind the paper to the arrow and shoot it over to your loved one. i hope mine can fly to new zealand! :*

hey there. one more day and february will be here. i don’t know if i like this so much… someone special won’t be here the whole month and i really don’t like the idea of that. on the other hand i have so much to do the whole month will pass on quick enough anyways!

here’s the new wallpaper for february. if you’d like to download it, hop on over to we love handmade!

I read this the other day on a picture a friend posted on instagram. it was printed on the inside of a coffee mug. It’s a bit drastic i know… but it fits perfectly for someone who loves coffee as much as i do.

spring is everywhere on Flickr.

we took a fieldtrip to the lainzer tiergarten yesterday after a book flea-market. it was nearly as warm as a summers day. we also tested the gopro i got us for our anniversary. this tiny camera is so much fun.

some time ago dominik and I tested one of those underwater disposable cameras.

I thought it would be a fun way to get some pictures in the thermal spring resort… well let’s just say it was fun using it… but at the end we got 6 pictures. how did it happen? we don’t know. the strange thing is we took pictures in the inside pool and the outside one. i figured that the outdoor pictures wouldn’t show up at all because it was already dark… but all of the 6 pictures are from outdoors. none of the indoor pictures made it. is this just a disposable camera problem or maybe he drugstores fault? any suggestions? anyways the few we got are nice… i love water! 

i love spending time with my friends

nuts about you

one of the v-day cards i made for this year

i made little gifts for my loveys

step 1: get all the things you need, like sweets, cellophane bags, maybe some glitter, paper & a folder.

step 2: cut the paper the same size as as your bags, fold them in half

step 3: fill your sweets into the bags, I also added some glitter

step 4: put the paper on top to close your bag. i sewed along the edge and stitched a hart.

have fun spreading some love!
