MAD ABOUT COASTERS....OR MUG RUGS!

MAD ABOUT COASTERS....OR MUG RUGS!

Today I am going to be making more of these:

I just love them!  They are (in my humble opinion) so much better than wooden/ceramic/glass coasters!!!!  The 'other' types of coasters end up with pools of water on them from your cold glass's condensation.... the fabric ones can absorb the moisture and then be washed later... and if you spill a bit of ya coffee or tea on the coaster you can just wash it too!   No more mess.... yaaaa.

I am going to have so much fun thinking up new ways to make them...using different patterns, fabrics etc. 

If there is one thing I do love, it's coming up with different ideas for creating 'stuff'... I love being creative... OBVIOUSLY eh?  lol
AND they are going to be so easy to post as gifts... they will fit in an envelope!  AWESOME.

ONWARD...

Well...I haven't made any more yet... I've been out and about checking out present possibilities for the kids.  With limited funds it is going to be 'interesting' to say the least.  Brylee is so easy to buy for... whereas Griffin is the pitts.  He loves Playstation and anything with wheels... but just how many toy cars and playstation games does one kid need?

So, home again and just relaxing for while before sewing again.

Oh and I need to clean up a whole bunch of bird feathers.... a  bird flew inside and the dogs got it... I saved it from certain death, but not before it lost a lot of feathers!  The dogs were having a ball with it!  Ikkkk.

ABOVE:  I started this set of 4 late this afternoon... hoping to finish them by bedtime, which is totally do-able.
Got to feed the kids dinner now... Stew won't be home for dinner tonight, so we will have something quick I reckon... 

End of Day: the kids and I had yummy toasted sandwiches for dinner!  And I finished those 4 placemats too.  Time to end the day, nite nite.
