Practical as well as pretty, these simple, stylish projects really will inspire you to make your life a little easier and a little brighter. Like many working mothers, Joanna knows that life is busy and finding time to be creative often ends up at the bottom of the priority list. That's why her motto is 'minimum effort, maximum return'. Making things for yourself and others means they can be more personal, unique, thoughtful and satisfying - and usually a fraction of the cost of buying something similar. The book is divided into three chapters: * Home - including stylish hanging bookshelves, simple curtains, magnetic spice jar storage and an oilcloth shopping bag. * Giving - including lace-printed clay tea-light covers, simple candles, a knitted Kindle cover, a charm bracelet and chocolate honeycomb. * Celebrations - including a golden chocolate egg for Easter, hanging firefly lanterns for Diwali, fabric-covered lanterns for Chinese New Year, salt-dough star garlands for Christmas. Some projects can be done in minutes, others take a bit longer to craft, but all are very simple. Live, give and celebrate in style.

"I'm the guy. I only get to make suggestions, but when I showed a beach wedding to Nancy, she sure lit up. This book helped me sell it, because there are a few things to take care of that I didn't think of. My big idea: I'd like a yacht docked close by that could take us out on the water as part of the reception. I now see how that's possible. All the pictures gave Nancy some ideas for decorations and design. That is helpful, but the author also gave us her source for the items. I could see the prices immediately, so i could keep her away from the really expensive items....she's watching me write this."

"I absolutely loved this book. It was a fun read and gave me plenty of potential ideas for a beach wedding. I am seriously contemplating switching from a fall wedding to a beach wedding."

"Paris has outdone herself on this book. I have always loved the beach and these wedding themes are perfect. You won't believe how elegant a beach wedding can be. There are ideas for three themes and gorgeous pictures to help you envision your perfect day. From the themes to wedding centerpieces and favors. She even includes a link to make it easier for you to find sources for these great ideas."

Crochet patterns scatter when in sheets of paper; one can buy one pattern on-line and the cost to print and mail it runs $6-$7. Free patterns on-line are unformatted and difficult to follow. So have consolidated and recomposed and colored this antheology of patterns for basically the cost of printing. These 85 classic crochet patterns have been collected from public and anonymous sources, organized, re-structured for a consistent format and enhanced with color for a permanent craft archive going back to the 1930s. Traditional motif names are conserved for the expert or family member who returns to old patterns to restore or recreate old family heirlooms. These patterns cover tables, beds, altars and chair sets, but no doilies. NOTE: Crochet stitches are knotted and not woven, extremely durable--unlike knitting, which is soft and pliable. Crochet is best for decorative elements (curtains, tablecloths and bedspreads) due to their longevity and washability subject to hard wear. This series of 8 volumes when completed will include four for Crochet and four for Knitting, about 800 patterns in all, a few dating back to 1850s. These are beautiful designs, but practical too. The NEXT volume in the series will be Volume 5, Emmie's Knitting for Babes to Tots.

Intermediate Examination Paper from the year 2011 in the subject Design (Industry, Graphics, Fashion), grade: 1.3, Berlin Technical University of Art - private university for design, language: English, abstract: Magazines today face unique challenges: Readers have learned that free, high quality content is ubiquitous on the Internet, that design is more than just an appealing layout, that attention spans are dynamic and media choices are overwhelming. The start of the iPad and the tablet device market leads many magazine producers to embrace this technology, from The New Yorker and TIME Magazine to Wired and Vogue. But doubts remain: Here comes another new market of media gadgets to challenge existing print magazine brands. How does it impact the way readers consume media? Will it be a vehicle for existing brands, or will it mostly spawn new ones? Will readers follow up on their online subscriptions when a free digital magazine is just a click away? These challenges need to be addressed, and by highlighting the differences between the iPad and "old media" print magazines, it can be shown that magazine producers can certainly use this technology to their advantages. Bringing an existing magazine brand to the iPad may mean rethinking reader participation and experiences, the creative process and workflow of an editorial team may have to be reshaped, and the editorial design reinvented. Never have readers been more entitled to influence their media mix, but where can media producers draw a line? Apple's tablet device is unique in that it combines a specific set of features on a particularly restrictive platform, and in its reception by a worldwide audience. It is especially this device that may help magazine producers take the next step in the evolution of Editorial Design and reader experience, through employing rich media contents, enabling users to choose curated contents by desire, and creating an immersive experience of the brand.
