I had a couple of articles in this month's Craftseller magazine which hit the shops in the UK this week. This issue has a back-to-school theme... although I think this fabric-covered lunch box might be nice for summer picnics too! I don't know if you can tell, but this lunchbox has a cute monster on the front - they've called it Monster Munch!
And I made some polymer clay fridge magnets with a "well done at school" kind of theme to them for their 30-minute-make slot.
I also managed to scan and upload some of the first humorous digi stamps I've made. I'd really like to develop a range of these! But for now, you can see the first ones on the newly-created humorous digi stamps page.
And on that note - what have you been doing or making this week?

I saw the magnets in craftseller, they look wonderful. This will be something my goddaughter will love to do. The humourous stamps look great. I love this image it made me think of my aunt and uncle. Have a great week.

I love the idea of the lunch box. I've been working on final wedding preparations this week, but I've managed to four in some crafting. X
The fridge magnets are a great idea. I'm looking forward to see your Christmas stuff too.
Love the humourous digital print :-) Also working on Christmassy things this week for a magazine - crazy in this gorgeous weather! I really love seeing your items in Craftseller! Simmi x
Lovely items this week Wendy.
Love the lunch box cover - a great idea for boring plastic boxes. But, is it removable? What about washing the box in a dishwasher?
Just love the badges, they are super funky and kids will love them!
Christmas trees - nothing strange, I'm already making my own Christmas cards! :) Im looking forward to you revealing this project.
It's amazing how many people are working on Christmas stuff!
Martha, no it's hand wash only, I'm afraid! I couldn't figure a way to get what they wanted (fabric or paper piecing) *and* have it dishwasher-proof.
Love the funny digi stamp0s Wendy, I think the 'cake' one suits me :)

Lovely items Wendy. Really like the lunchbox
Really love the humerous digi stamps, especially the cake one. Can't wait to go and get the new issue of Craftseller too, your lunchbox looks great.
I think I am going to have to subscribe to Craftseller, as I find it very hard to find in any newsagents, and loved the one copy I have managed to get my hands on.
This is my first time posting on your blog so hi! I've never read craftseller either. Might have to get my hands on a copy. I'd love to see how you made up that lunch box. What a fab idea. I am soooo bored with plain tupperware!
aww i love the monster munch lunchbox! the magnets are a great idea too - i'm a big fan of fridge magnets and we have loads of handmade polymer clay ones on our fridge! x
Oh, yes, I have seen the monster lunch box! As for mentioning the C world - I'm already planning for Spring 2014 - mad or what!
Yes! Again some great articles and ideas how do you come up with it all? I agree comment mods are a pain, sometimes getting rid of the anonymous helps.
This week my blog features where I sell my art. I hope you find the article interesting and that it may inspire you to start something similar in your area.
Happy crafting. Joan

Love the lunchbox, really cute. And the fridge magnets are fab. Really must get round to getting a copy of craftseller lol butnkeep forgetting :)
You are so busy! Where do you find the time? Love the little fridge magnets and the quirky quotes you have been adding to your digi stamps :) They make me smile :)
Well Christmas will be in the shops very soon.
Hello everyone sorry I've not been here in ages but I'm back now and ready to get involved in Handmade Monday again. I see there has been lots going on so I'm off to explore.

Love the Monster Munch lunch box - I did something similar (although predictably for me mainly lace related!) to a rather masculine tool box to transform it into a sewing box for my sister :) Congrats as always on your magazine features, you're on fire! ;)
I Noticed your make in Craft Seller - well done! Gotta go - work.
