A Mini Kitchen Addition: Magnet Play

A while back I used a unique set of felted hexagon magnets as inspiration for a succulent planter box for our outdoor table.

I loved the modern shape of the hexagons and was really happy with how the diy box turned out. Fast forward about a year and our dishwasher was feeling like it needed a little colorful attention (aka I was still thinking about those felted magnets that had me at hexagon back when) and I decided to support the awesome artist that created them and purchased a set. We don’t have a magnetic fridge (it’s stainless steel) but the dishwasher is just at eye level for Liv and these magnets give her a fun little puzzle activity to work on while I’m making breakfast or dinner.

Man I love those morning hair curls.

These magnets are pretty cool. I’m worried because I’m not entirely sure the artist makes them any more, but I came across this tutorial recently on how to make your own (out of business card magnets, no less) and have to give it a go. Looks very easy to replicate!

PS I have another little kitchen update to share after a productive President’s Day, I can’t wait.

PPS Hope you had a great Valentine’s Day as well! Kev surprised me with tickets to the theater, I also had a chance to visit him at work on site (he just recently started a job working for an architecture firm that’s designing a hospital) and it was really neat to see his new office space and tour the huge building being built just next to it. I wanted to check it out before ‘the skin went up’ (I learned that little terminology while there) aka before the outside walls and windows were added. We also went on a crazy incline hike (while carrying two children) the following day and I’m still feeling the burn…
