Rugs - of the muggish sort

Yesterday was our crafting group meeting and Sue was the birthday girl this month.  She likes pink so I created this mug rug for her...



And further in the muggish rug-ishness theme....I made two of these crocheted coasters that are heading to the Christmas box..



Today the quote is from another anonymous source..."Sometimes having coffee with your best friend is all the therapy you need"

  1. Lucky Sue. That's lovely

    I learned a crocheted cast on for toe up socks and felt so accomplished about it. Nice to use two crafts at once.

  5. Best mug rug I've ever seen. I'd sit with a cuppa and admire it as a wall hanging.
    The crocheted mug rug is great too.

  10. Very sweet gift you created. I love all the knitted shawls and I have delicious yarns and some needles...maybe this WInter I will learn how to actually knit something lovely. Happy Autumn Dear. We are having Summer once again! Spent the day playing tourist with our company from Staten Island. He is treating us to dinner out tonight. I am blessed...<3
