Pretty Magnets

So these aren't a new idea by any stretch, in fact I remember making these many moons ago, but when Julian got annoyed because I threw out all the ugly business magnets and he could never find what he was looking for he asked could I pretty please buy some beauty approved magnets for the fridge.

Buy, please doesn't he know I diy everything by now!

So here's how I made mine, i doubt it's too different to the others out there but here goes.

Supplies:

• Mod Podge
• Glass Pebbles
• Scrapbook Paper
• Hot glue/gun
• Magnets
• Paper punch

1. Punch the paper

2. Mod podge to glass pebble and attach magnet

Prettiness!

Sew Delicious - Sew Along Completed

Howdy,

You might remember that I was joining the awesome Ros of Sew Delicious in a sew along. Well I'm a little late to end it due to some unforeseen things happening at the mansion this last fortnight (sickness, dead cars, ect) but I finally finished, yay!


Here she is from the back.

Here's the front.

It's so pretty, great tutorials by Ros which you can find over here, if you've never quilted before and it's something you want to try, give it a go.

I have to admit, while I have done some quilting I always round the corners or just overlock (serge) the edges, this time I stretched myself and did the mitered corners...so don't look too close at them but they aren't too bad.

My Mum a very experienced quilter will be pleased to see it done, I'm sure she dies a little on the inside every time she sees my usual edging/binding.

Thanks Ros for a great sew along even if I was late too finish.

Thanks for reading,

Mel xo
