While visiting with the granddaughters, it's always fun to sit down and enjoy a tea party together, so when I found a pattern for a "mug rug" online I thought it was the perfect project. (Here's the free pattern by Debbie Taylor) What is a mug rug? Well it's a small placemat that's used for setting your tea (or hot chocolate) mug on. If you have cookies with your tea, they can sit on your placemat also. When I saw the pattern I just had to make them!
This is my version and I thought it turned out really cute. I liked them so well that I even made one for Kayla and Marissa's mom, and then one for the bff.
I found the really cute valentine material at JoAnn's half-off because it was so close to valentine's day. Some of that material ended up not being what I thought it was.....but that's another story!
All-in-all, though, I was happy with the results and had a lot of fun making them.
