New Year 2015

Thinking about the new year and reflecting on all the festivities as we wind down to a quieter home. Specifically, I'm thinking about mug rugs:

I made these rugs last year for Christmas

I finished a tree skirt for my oldest daughter and had some scraps that I used.  They turned out pretty cute and these have other uses than just for a hot mug.  They are great to place under a hot plate that just came out of the microwave or to place a snack on if you don't want to dirty a plate for.  Now I need to contemplate what I will use AFTER Christmas :-)
