I was right...I was bit by the mug rug bug. I made another one..This time it was for me. I thought about what I wanted, and I decided on something pink with a butterfly. Now, I have my own cup of coffee on my very own mug rug. What can I say? it is me in a nutshell. Isn't it cute as can be?
I know this is only the beginning. I will be making a mug rug for every major holiday and season. Why not? They are so much fun to make!

Then, a lovely package arrived in the mail...What can I say? I was overjoyed to receive this gift from Linda whose blog is The Sewing Granny . She knows I love to read so she made me two of the cutest bookmarkers you can imagine. Aren't they just adorable? I love the Warner Brother characters! Then I got a fat quarter which is so pretty...love it Linda! Also, a heart shaped yo yo...You must have read my mind, as I was going to order it for myself. Finally, a purse that is also the Warner Brother's characters. ...I have to admit I love all of each and every one of them, esp.Bugs Bunny and Tweetie. It is the best purse I ever had! I have to say that in her note to me she said, " I know you love to read, so I thought these markers might save your place and remind you that you are loved."
Linda, you are the sweetest! I was so touched by it all.
Linda, you are the sweetest! I was so touched by it all.
Here is a limerick for Linda in thanks for her present.
There once was lady who is my friend you bet,
Who always is so sweet to me, even though we never met;
She has a heart filled with so much love,
She's like my guardian angel sent from God above;
I love you too and will always be true to you;
Many hugs to you Linda and much love sent your way too.
By the way Linda, something will be coming your way from my wee cottage here in Dunfanaghy, and thanks so much again!
Well, that was my day. Oh yes, we did take a long hike to see Bobbi and fed him his carrots and oatcakes, and we gave him many pets and kisses.
Have a great day! Mine has been so nice!

Lovely mug rug and what a nice surprise that came your way!
Wow....what a fun mug rug and gifties....
What lovely things! your mug rug is very cute.
I was thinking of doing some this year, but never got around to it. Would be fun to make some to practice stitching too and then use them as gifts.

I like your mug rug. Butterflies are very special to me and hubby. He has always loved them and the first gift he got me was a butterfly necklace.

What a lovely day! I love the mug rugs, too! I have not made one as yet but definitely will! Thanks for your visit and comment! We do love the swans so much. We are blessed that they visit so often. Hugs to you Macooshla!
The mug rug is wonderful, I can see where it would be come addictive making them :)
I love the mug rug! You have to read the mug rug carol I posted the other day, it sounds just like you! http://cyarnell.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-have-little-mug-rug.html
Cute, cute mug rug. I received a couple in the mug rug swap but they are just so lovely, I don't want to use them. I think I need to make a couple simpler ones that I don't mind actually putting a mug on!
Very cute butterfly mug rug. I have yet to make a m.r. but it's on my to-do list for 2011. Jodi Nelson of Pleasant Home gave me one, and I keep it fondly in my sewing room.
This bug has done good job!!! The mug rug is so nice, I like Joe's too, so Christmas time. Take care and enjoy your weekend, Clara.
I love your Mug Rug. Make one and you are addicted. Looking forward to seeing one for the next season. What nice friends you have to think of you and send you such nice gifts. Take care!
Your mug rug will brighten each day for you. I agree....I think you need one for each season.
What lovely gifts!! I love your limerick for her.
Happy Holidays Micki! :)
I noticed that Debbie in WoolenSails suggested using them to practice other things and then using them for gifts. I think that is a great idea.
I also laughed at Terrie Sandelin when she said they were too pretty to use - that she would have to make one that she wouldn't mind to get dirty. ! LOL That is actually the way that I feel about some of my tee shirts ! Either I keep the ones I love until they get stained or wear holes in them and then they get demoted to everyday use - OR- last year I actually made two from the same fabric and did one for house use and one to wear out.LOL
I agree with everybody else - they are great -even a chance to bring out the creative artist in everybody and let your essence show. :)
Thank you so much for your poem, Micki. I have Never had anybody do that for me- I am so honored. But, I know all of us feel the same way about you. You are one of "our" rays of sunshine everytime we walk through the door of your blog.:)
I just love your mug rugs I'm thinking about making a bunch for my daughters blessing way so everyone can take one.

Cute Mug Rug! I see the bug has gotten you. Isn't fun...the people we meet in this bloggin community. I am glad you got to see Bobbie!
Nice to read that you are a happy girl, and very good in quilting. Have a nice Sunday. Loredana.

I might still have time left before Christmas to make a couple..

I love your limerick. But totally don't get the mug rugs YET. I guess I'm a tea-cup on table kind of person.
What a darling mug rug, Micki. Mug rugs have been all the rage - I think they are such a cute little something for quilters to make.
