found on etsy

Found this on etsy. Rather striking, the black and white combination. The design is by CaCtuSDesiGn. I figure, I can make this. Sandy wants one, but not my first attempt, since those are usually full of mistakes. If anyone reading this blog wants one, just click on the picture. It is listed on etsy.com for 22.99 $USD plus shipping. But if you're willing to wait for me to figure out the pattern so you can make one yourself, then stay tuned.

Magnets Makes Anything Awesome!

While reading through Lifehacker.com, I saw this picture. I followed the link and found Popuplunch.blogspot.com. Alexandra Pulver is the creator of the site and the genius behind the magnetic coffee cup sleeve. From the looks of the photo, the sleeve seems to be felted; how the magnets are attached cannot be seen, but I'm thinking felted pockets. I will be making one so as to be ready for Roll-Up-the-Rim season.

On Popuplunch, are Alexandra's other creations like the fold-up lunch box - it unfolds into a plate but looks really cool as a lunch box - quite the cool design. Also cool is her design for the title of her blog - great font. I should really invest some time into spiffing up mine.
