Mug Mat Swap

It was a really fun mail week this week. I won't show you everything right now, but I will show you what I received from Susan, over at Art of Mine, for the mug mat swap hosted by Brynwood Needleworks.

When I opened my package, I found some really fun stuff.  My mat  was wrapped in the blue swirl fabric that the stuff is sitting on. I do love a pretty swirl.


The coffee is very yummy. I might not share that! The yo-yo is actually a pretty pin, which I have the perfect sweater for. And the mug mat is inside a cool vinyl pouch that Susan made, with lots of sparkle. I may not have this for long, as the Daughter has her eye on it.

Inside the pouch was the mat itself. The color is quite vivid. I love it.


And it goes really well with chocolate chip cookies. I had to shoo the bunny off. He forgot that chocolate was a no-no.


Thank you, Susan, for your generous gift, and for participating in the swap with me.

For a look at more Mug Mat creations, click here.  And maybe make one for yourself. They are a quick and fun way to use up bits and pieces, and add a little color to your house during this long winter.

Tomorrow I will be back to show you more treasures that I got in the mail this week.
Happy Saturday, everybun!

Checking In

I've been spinning my wheels this week like a rabbit on a hardwood floor! The only thing I've manged to finish is the food I had to cook for a local family in distress. I have so many things I want to show you, but that will have to wait till later, after another sewing day.

Annette, Susan, I received your packages, and I am thrilled. I will post pictures, and send notes soon. The only picture I have for now is of the fabric I found in my stash for the back of the  Mug Mat I am making.


Perfect, isn't it? I'll be back later with more pictures. Have a great day, everyone!

Joining In On A Swap

I've decided to join in with some of the swapping fun that goes on on the "Net, and I'm starting with  a Mug Mat swap being hosted by Brynwood Needleworks.


My swap partner can be found over at her beautiful blog, Art of Mine. When you check out her very romantic-looking blog, you'll see that she loves pink.  I don't have a lot of that around, so there's yet another reason for a road trip. This should be fun!
