Hello Friends!
I wanted to share with you a few of the Christmas mug rugs that were created by the ladies participating in my swap. Not all of the exchanges have arrived due to the location (New Zealand, for instance), but I couldn't wait to share the ones I've received photos of so far!
I will start with this lovely Christmas Cardinal mug rug that I received from my swap partner, Lorrie. I think Lorrie did a beautiful job and I love the little tea bag pocket-it's perfect for me since I drink tea all the day long.
This is the mug rug I made and sent to Lorrie.
Jann, at Have A Daily Cup of Mrs. Olson sent these cute calico mittens to her partner Stephanie. There were gifts included which you can pop over and view at Jann's website as she also did a post.
And this sweet lacy angel was created by Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose for her swap partner Jann. I love the angels doily and jeweled head!
I have a few more of the mug rug photos but I'm waiting until I'm sure that the ladies receiving the gifts has gotten them. I don't want to spoil anyone's surprise! I will be back to show you more as soon as possible.... I've also received a surprise gift in the mail from a friend that I want to share soon.
Hope you're having a blessed Sunday-Kimberly
They are all so adorable! Put me on the list to take part next year. I wanted to learn to make them before I joined so that will give me a year! haha! What fun designs. And it's something I love to use! Sweet hugs, Diane PS Please do this again!!!
ReplyDeleteI will remember you, for sure, next year Diane!

Great, Doreen. I use both blogs depending on my mood!
DeleteKimberly, this was such a fun exchange. I love my gift from Stephanie and I enjoyed making hers. I'm laughing because this 'dumb blonde' did not realize it was an angel. I thought it was a lacy tree. lol! Either way, I love it! ha, ha! Your cardinal is sweet and love what you made too. Looking forward to seeing more!

That's so cool you hosting a mug rug exchange. Does it have to be handmade? I'm afraid I'm not very good at sewing. I haven't done quilting but once, and I could try it again...Will you be hosting another one?
ReplyDeleteSuch cute gifts everyone received.
Love,
Ashley
