Finally!


Yes, I finally made something. I'm sorry such a horrible picture, but it was late afternoon and the window is facing north, so not such a great picture. Actually, I did make something else a few weeks ago, but I was in such a hurried state and luckily a very simple project - two men's sized travel shoe bags. In fact I made it in such a rush that I didn't have time to put in the drawstring, let alone take a picture!

Anyway, back to my mug rug, snack mat, oversized coaster, what ever you want to call it, I really like it. It fits perfectly on the side of my laptop and keeps my drink or snacks in order, not messy. I used scraps, of course, and some fancy stitching on the seams (a little hard to see). I originally was going to make another potholder, but after reading about mug rugs and how useful they can be, I added another strip of fabric and "voila"!


Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
