Pretty Magnets

August 14th, 2007 · 5 Comments

Button MagnetsI made up a batch of pretty magnets today. My fridge has been looking rather messy with its mish-mash of magnets, and I wanted to pretty it up. I did this with some fabric scraps from other projects and do-it-yourself covered buttons. You just cover the button and attach the magnet. And they turned out so nice! I found it so satisfying that I know I’m going to make more, so when the glue sets up on this batch, I think I’ll put them in the shop.

In other news, I finally received the sew-in fabric labels I ordered last month from Namemaker. They are black with white text that reads “Anodyne Design.” I can’t wait to put one in a purse. I think they’ll give my bags a nice, finished look. I also heard my business cards shipped yesterday, so I’m eagerly awaiting those. I love getting mail anyway, but I also love office supplies, so I’ll be pretty happy when they arrive.

Also, I was tagged by Lissa over at Bully Beads to share a few facts about myself. I think I’ll add them to my about me section, so feel free to check there if you want to know more about the woman behind the blog.

Stumble it!

    I love the one in the middle. Green with a little bit of red.

    I love making those magnets! (or anything with covered buttons, really)

    I was just in your shop admiring your patchwork reversible bag… I hearted it just in case I get some cash soon! :-)

    LOL! Great to hear all those facts about you:) Made me remember another one of my habits..Hope we can still be friends since I tagged you! :p They are a bit like chain letter..”Tag 7 people in the next 20 minutes or you will have bad luck next week ” LOL!

    Of course we can still be friends, Lissa. I don’t mind being tagged at all… I’m just not a big re-tagger. I’m always breaking chains. I’m a rebel! ;)

    Thanks, everyone, for your nice comments about my magnets. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :)
