Comment by vizma bruns on January 4, 2014 at 10:50am: Thanks Kat. My Best secateurs are by Fiskars, and the lower handle swivels. So comfy! Will look at their scissor range!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 4, 2014 at 10:36am: Your are right, Vizma, they are FISKARS brand.

I bet you can order on-line? I was not allowed to bring them

from the States in my carry-on luggage..hahaha. I gave them

to my nephew and he sent them by snail mail to me...aah, life on this planet!

Comment by vizma bruns on January 4, 2014 at 10:26am: Snap scissors? And are they Fiskars brand?? Me want!!

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on January 4, 2014 at 10:07am: Kalimera, Viz! Kalispera to Oz :-)

Yes, those "snap" scissors are from a shop in Chicago that sells sewing materials, etc.

I like them for fine cutting work, and they are great for cutting fabrics (but I do NOT use

them for cutting sandpaper :-(

I gave my son scissors like that too, because he is left-handed

and normal scissor blades are set for right-handed use, I didn't know that beforeh and :-)

Comment by vizma bruns on January 4, 2014 at 10:01am: Hey Kat, those grey-handled scissors you have there, with the orange dot...are they spring-loaded, and are they any good? Fiskars??

I want some new pointy ones.

Comment by vizma bruns on January 22, 2013 at 5:31am: Yeah, Angie, I have all kinds of great boxes, baskets and vessels for my stuff, but I tend to put things in stupid piles on my table "for now", and now becomes forever, or until it all topples!!!

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on January 21, 2013 at 6:17pm: ha ha ha - exactly Angie! The problem is, it starts as "convenience," but somehow they always get lost amidst the hoards...

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on November 10, 2012 at 5:40pm: Yes, Vizma...this is the wooden table in the studio apartment in the city where you were!

Comment by vizma bruns on August 31, 2012 at 6:04am: Kat, is this the table where we made mail art together? Or is this the marble room?

Comment by Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on April 8, 2012 at 4:20pm: Some of my tools ...out on the little table that is also a table where I eat....(apples)

eraser stamps are in tiny eraser box, 2 carving tools, scissors with those zig-zag cuts, etc.

when it is lunch time, all the tools go into a straw-woven box about 12x25 cm.

Comment by vizma bruns on April 8, 2012 at 10:42am: Ruud, do you vaccuum your drawers and dust the shelves? It's so clean!!

Comment by Ruud Janssen on April 7, 2012 at 2:52pm: tape is another tool I enjoy......

Comment by Ruud Janssen on April 7, 2012 at 2:33pm: I like to use stickers on my mail-art. Even ordered complete roles at the NSD (National Printing Shop of the Government) to use for the TAM-Rubberstamp Archive.
