Super Mario! I spent many thousand hours playing Nintendo when I was a kid and Super Mario was my favorite game. I used to get a blister on my thumb from playing so much! My hubby and I still get out my old Nintendo and play every once in a while. These Mario, life mushroom, and Goomba bottlecap magnets honor my old addiction! They're for sale in my shop!
Deb of Fearless Fibers Yarn is another Oregon crafter. She makes gorgeous yarn!
