Mug rugs
When I was looking at other people's blogs, I saw Mug Rugs. At first I had no idea what that was till I saw the picture. Well, these mug rugs looked very practical to me. When I am sewing, or working on my laptop, my coffee cup leaves marks everywhere! So I decided to make a few. Also because I think they are lovely little presents. You can buy a mug from 1 euro to lots of euros. I went shopping and bought some cheap ones and some expensive ones.
Two very good friends of mine have their birthdays this month. As a matter of fact one of them has it today. This is the one she will get.
I loved the cup with the bags (I have something with bags!) and it has a very sweet box.
Because I love my garden so much, I also always try to make pictures from my garden to go with the patchwork. You can't really see this, but outside there is a big Jasmine which smells lovely.
My other girlfriend got her mug and rug already. She was very pleased with the present. I can imagine my two friend sitting in my garden, sipping their tea, because that's what they drink. One of them is British and the other one also loves tea. So, as a matter of fact, they got tea rugs.
This one is a bit bigger, because after I made the first one I decided to look on the internet to find out which sizes people use to make them.
The grey/pink fabric was once used for a duvet cover. The other materials are vintage, at least 30 years old. I bought them in this old shop in Kalamata.

Ik moet altijd even extra goed lezen als het Engels is, want ik beheers het niet heel goed, dus dit is een goede oefening. Maar begrijp ik goed dat je de bekers zelf decoreert/beschildert? Ik vind het bijzonder mooi. En dan die zelfgemaakte onderleggers erbij, ja daar word je blij van!

Hello Ada ! I have been following you for some time but cannot see your members so that I may also join you. I just love your patchworks but also your garden. I also love gardening and look forward for the weather to cool down as my flowers and vegetables have suffered a lot from the heat.
ReplyDeleteI would be very pleased if you also cared to follow me !!
Wauw, wat een mooie theeonderzetters maakte je zeg! Ik kan me voorstellen dat je vriendinnen daar heel blij mee waren. Een schitterend geschenk. Zeker in combinatie met de mooie mokken :-) oeps, ik schrijf je nu in het Nederlands in de veronderstelling dat je dat nog leest na al die jaren?
ReplyDeleteWat een leuke mok en natuurlijk de onderzetter. Dat zijn de leukste cadeautjes die je kunt ontvangen. Wat ziet je tuin er prachtig uit. Je zal wel heel veel met water in de weer zijn om het zou te houden en krijgen:)
ReplyDeleteEn volgens mij hebben heeeeeelllll veeeeel vrouwen een tassentik! Groetjes carina
Leuk! Die mugrugs zijn zo handig. En inderdaad zijn het leuke kado's

Allereerst: sorry voor het late reageren... wat een prachtige kleedjes voor onder een mok... Vaak zie je van die kleine onderzetters , tegenwoordig ook van stof, gebreid of gehaakt, maar zoals jij ze maakt vind ik ze veeeel mooier en handiger. En leuk om weg te geven en vooral om te krijgen. Groeten van Willemien.
