Oh my. This is beyond fabulous. I love things that make you do a double take. If I saw a cockroach on a friend's fridge I might even let out a girly little scream. I am SO linking to this. And now if you'll excuse me, I have to add the tag "cockroach" to my roundup list. =)
Stopped by from One Pretty Thing.
So gross, but so cool! I'm making several of these for this Halloween. Thanks for the tuorial!
YIKES!!! A set of these would make the greatest practical joke on someone's fridge. (Just please not mine!!) I posted a link to your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing: http://sewing.craftgossip.com/tutorial-cockroach-softie-magnets/2009/07/10/

Hey Runo,
This is great! I didn't know you had a blog. I have visited your website several times for various dollmaking ideas and tips..my son loves the Inuyasha one the best. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise!
I think it's hysterical that the note says "I love you." Great simple pattern! And by great I mean utterly creepy and hideous. In a good way.
