Everyone's been making a mug rug in blogland, so I decided to make one for Joe today. he is a big coffee drinker, and I knew he really needed one. Being that I love Santa, I cut out a novelty fabric of Santa and machine appliqued it to a block and then used various Christmas fabrics to finish it off. Joe is using it at this very moment, and needless to say loves it.
Gee, have I been bitten by the mug rug bug? Is it like potato chips where you can't just have one of them? I have to admit I had fun making it. I will have to be on the lookout for some neat novelty fabric, but paper piecing would also work for this....really anything would be nice.
Enjoy your Sunday! We still have cold weather here, but the snow is melting. If you are having cold weather, keep cozy and warm! Back to my cup of coffee!

I've been seeing these pop up all over blogland and no one seems to be able to make one! No one in my family really drinks coffee but they're still hard to resist. Yours looks great! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.
I think you have been bitten! They seem quite addicting as I see the mug rugs all over blogland as of late. Well done!!
What a very cool Mug Rug. Yes they can be addicting. They are fun and quick little projects.
Oh, that came out so cute!! Well done Micki. :)
This is wonderful, Micki! I really like it!
I have the mug rug bug too! But I haven't had a moment to make one! I so want to though I need one for my desk and so does hubby! Yours is lovely I'm sure your hubby feels special to have the first one you made.
Very nice Micki, I must get around to trying them out.
Better than this for the coffe time in this period of the year I can't imagine. Have you have cleaned good your shoes, and put on the window!!!!. Loredana.
Aren't they addicting? I love the cute novelty fabrics for them too.
Love the Santa mug rug, Micki.
I think the bug might be taking hold here too! lol
Glad to hear the snow is melting
Keep warm!
I've seen so many mug rugs popping up lately. What a nice craft idea. Your Santa version is just lovely.
Very cute! No wonder he likes it!
Call me dim witted... but what is a 'mug rug'???
Awesome mug rug!I must admit I have been bitten by the bug and have been having fun making some for friends and co-workers. Like the idea of using novelty fabrics. Nola
Love your Santa mug rug. I also enjoyed hearing about you and your dad when you were younger. Christmas brings back so many memories.
Cute rug Micki!! Yes I am working on some too as gifts and some runners as well.
Hugs,

I have been bitten by the bug, and fortunately no one else knows about them here - so it's unlikely I'll duplicate anyone's gift!! They are so much fun to make.......
What a great idea! You'll have to make a mug rug for yourself too so you're not left out of the fun.
The weather has been pretty nice here lately. I'm glad to hear you're staying warm!
It is just lovely! You have me considering making a few myself!
I just love these I've been thinking about making some up as giftd.

Your Santa mug rug is lovely!
O.k... First I'm going to comment on "Downtown"!! I'm told this was a favorite song of mine when I was little, standing on my makeshift podium of some kind, with my pretend microphone! What language is this being sung in???! (0; As for your mug rug, I have yet to make one.. of fabric anyways, as you can guess mine are usually crochet ones! LOVE how yours came out! I'm a VERY big fan of Santa's, you know!! ~tina
Very nice what is the size of it
Hugs Janice
Ohhhh... that's a mug rug. I was just asking Sarah Craig what that was! Thank you for sharing.
uh-huh... they are EVERYwhere! And then there are those candlemats, too! Seem to be quick and easy for a lovely hostess gift. On my list to try, too. Yours is very cute! How are you? ...Karen
Thanks Micki for stopping by love your mug rug Merry Christmas
Hugz

Lots of Love

I really like it. Thank you for visiting and your lovely comment. I was really pleased with it. Where I live we are hammered every day with snow, it is very common at this time of the year-!!!!
Have a wonderful Holiday Season.
Love,
-Samya :-)
I've several versions of mug rugs in Blogland over the past year but I have not made one yet. Nice job on yours!
Your Santa one is lovely.
Just love them as gifts.
OOO Micki-
That was WAY TOO generous of you to share your snow with me!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought of you with every snowflake that fell - which turned out to be about 4 inches.
I TOTALLY adore your "mug-rug" for Joe! Now you can make him a new one for each holiday - or maybe each month - he should get a fresh one!
Lovely Micki. Now you need to make one for yourself as well, and of course, non-seasonal ones.
Hi Micki
You are so right. I am trying to catch up on my blogs and just left Nats and she was making some mug mats and now I see you are too. I love the Santa one. I guess I am going to have to find time to make me one. HA! HA!
Willow
So sweet! It is a bug and I have it too.
Cool mug rug Micki!!! This morning I had some cold water with lime in it to suit our hot weather!!! Happy coffee drinking JOe...Dzintra♥x
Hello Micki, lovely Mug Rug.....a matching candle mat.....would be great...Hugs Lyn
A very useful gift too! Very nice one. They're quick to make. I plan to make my sone a couple to go with his new tea cozy for christmas.
A mug rug, said the title...whilst waiting for your blog to load on my state of the Ark computer I had visions of you lining up all your mugs on the floor of the sitting room to walk on, or perhaps in front of the fire so you could sit on them...guess I was wrong!!!!!
Well I must try one, but yours is really festive, you do realise that Joe will be addicted too, he'd probably like a Spring one, then a Valentines, then an Easter one then.....
Your mug rug is adorable, I am sure Joe just love it!
