Taking a break from the repetitive process of preparing my taxes to share a couple of repetitive crafty things I’ve been working on lately.
I’m making a large number of Kanzashi flower magnets for my publisher to use in marketing my upcoming book. Many more of these in my future….

And then, here’s a magazine reed project I just finished. Can’t show you the whole thing, but let’s just say, it was a lot of magazine pages. And a lot of hours of Mad Men.
…Although I’ll take this kind of repetition over the tax-preparing kind any day.

Hooray for fun repetition! Is it gross that I thought those were a bunch of pink severed ears (or maybe children’s fingers)? Yeah, I thought so. ;)

The magazine reed project looks incredible! I can hardly wait for the ‘unveiling.’

While Christmas shopping at TJ Maxx last season I saw my first ever magazine reed covered box for sale, it was all in Chinese magazines. They only had one and it was damaged, with some all banged up and missing. I really wanted it and wondered if I could make one myself. (They wanted $20 for it and it was not marked down due to damage.)
I didn’t know what they were called. Now I know what to go looking for, for a tutorial. Are you going to post more on your project?

I’m intrigued by the magazine thing. Can’t wait to see the whole picture!

You are such a nut! I love this, because it’s what I do. My break from my weekend work was to mop, dust, and clean my apartment. I had to resist refolding all my sweaters.
