Coffee Cozy

The other day, I posted about making a coffee cozy using Rachel's tutorial/pattern.

I have actually made four... one for a gift to a friend and one for each of the schools to which I am assigned.

Not only does the cozy keep my hands from the heat of the hot beverage in the cup... but also keeps the coffee/tea hot longer.

It took a little fiddling with the pattern...  *rip, rip, rip*   ...but I finally got the right size to fit the cup.   Next project:  a coffee cozy to fit my mugs here at the house.... sorta like this one...

Coffee Cozy found HERE on Etsy

I may be machine-less but I still got projects going!

Fabric Scraps and Fun

I enjoy browsing the net, as you may have figured out by now...  anything to do with quilts, obviously, but also crafts.  I like making crafty items…  especially when I am required to figure out how to make it!  So many ideas to be found online, so little time….

Fabric coiled bowls (supposed to look like sunflowers) using several fat quarters and uncovered cording:

 Bowls are used to hold sunglasses, keys, ID badge lanyard

Crocheted kitty, pattern found online, using cotton yarn and leftover yarn for scarf:

Yes, indeed...  I can get into mischief anytime and anywhere!
