New Magnet Boards! I am in love with the Poppies!

Ah, finally some new magnet boards listed!  I had to make sure that I used some of the new poppies fabric that I got.  Although, I had a really hard time cutting it!  It is so pretty!  All of these are beautiful!

I am still loving my new photography set up!  And I am getting better at playing with my camera and new lens!  Love these close ups!

You can find these in the Magnet Boards section of my Etsy shop!  At least until they sell out!  This is the last of the Amy Butler Periwinkle fabric ... and that does make me sad!

Fabrics Coming Soon!

Here are two fabrics that are coming soon! The Joel Dewberry one, is one that I have had before, and the Riley Blake is brand new for me! I've had so many requests for fabrics with more darker earth tones that I am trying to find some to stock! Unfortunately, I have had trouble finding some that really catch my eye!


Joel Dewberry - Columbine in Natural


















Riley Blake - Pears in Brown

Beyond the Magnets - Strawberries galore!

So, You may be wondering where I have been!

I've been updating my blog occasionally, but really not on a regular basis. The main reason is because I've been busy filling orders and working on home things.

So, I thought you might enjoy taking a look at some of the things that I have going on - Non-Magnet related projects!

Here is our little strawberry patch!

Excuse the weeds - it is actually much better than it was!

I started out with just 8 or 9 strawberry plants 4 years ago, and they have spread quite nicely!

So far I have picked about 10 quarts of strawberries from this little patch. Although we could have more if the birds and rabbits didn't like strawberries so much!

Most of them were eaten right away, but I have also frozen about 4 quarts.

Since my birthday is today!! I made pound cake over the weekend - Let me tell ya - Paula Deans Pound Cake is YUMMY, and really easy to make! Here's the recipe http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/mamas-pound-cake-recipe/index.html

For the topping I used some of the strawberries from my strawberry patch. I took 1 quart of strawberries from the freezer, thawed them out in the fridge overnight, then put them in a sauce pan on the stove. I added about 1/4 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar - you can add more depending on how tart you want your strawberries. I prefer mine tart since the pound cake is so sweet. Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer for 5-10 minutes. Then I put the mixture in back in the fridge until cool - although you can serve it warm if you like.

Next time I will let you know what we are doing in our front yard!!

Let the Games Begin!!!

New Product Preview - Wall Pockets, Spice Racks, Coupon Organizers ... Oh My!!

I have been asked several times about what new products are coming from Moore Magnets! So, here is your preview of items that are in production in the workshop, a brief description, and when you can expect to see pictures and listings!

Wall Pockets - I am currently working on some wall pocket organizers that will look similar to my new letter holders. These wall pockets will be larger than the letter holders and designed to hold standard file folders (a legal file folder option will be available). These will hang on the wall with screws and magnets will stick on the surface of the wall pocket. They will be beautiful, functional, and some of them will come with matching magnet boards and other office goodies! These are scheduled to be completed in 1-2 weeks.

Spice Racks/Organizers - I am also working on some spice racks and organizer racks! They will be magnet boards that include magnet tins suitable for storing spices or other itty bitty goodies! There will be large sets and small sets and some of the magnet boards will come uncovered for those cooks that get a bit messy in the kitchen. These are scheduled to be completed in 2 weeks!

Coupon and Receipt Organizers - Sorry - can't tell you more about these! You will just have to wait patiently! These are scheduled to be completed in 2-3 weeks (maybe sooner!)
