cup o' java on a mug rug |
Seems like ages since I've posted, but such is life! I should have known better than to vow I was going to work straight through any pattern book of anything, but I get carried away ... it always seems like a fun idea, but then I get side-tracked and other things catch my attention and well ... I'm off on something else before I know what has hit me.

a mug rug still on the "loom" |
In this case, it's been a new ukulele! But enough about that... I have had some time to do a bit of crafting and decided to go very low tech (again ...
I discovered this a while back) and whip up a few mug rugs for the holiday season.
When I decide to do these I find a piece of cardboard, cut it to the dimensions I need, make a good number of slots in it and away I go!
Depending on the pattern (or lack thereof) these are really a pretty quick projects to whip up. Easy to do when you're watching a movie or tv show.

lots of mug rugs |
I'm pretty new to weaving, but this past summer I bought a small hand loom and tried it out (you can
see those results here) and I've been fascinated by
what one can do with a potholder loom. Hmm... think I'll dig that out next and see what I come up with!
