Mug Rugs

I've been going through a bit of mug rug withdrawal most likely due to the Mug Rug Madness week led by Erin of Two More Seconds.  Plus, I needed a small gift to send to my sister who does my taxes for me each year.  One of items on this weekend's "to do" list is to package up all my tax info to send to Carol and I wanted to enclose the mug rugs.  So, here are the mug rugs I made...  

Carol's husband is retired Coast Guard and they collect lighthouses so I thought these would be cool.



While these would be acceptable to her DH and her two sons, the mug rugs aren't very girly, I don't think... so I made a couple JUST for Carol...


 


I don't think any of her three boys will be claiming these two...   *lol*

My daughter and granddaughters stopped by to visit yesterday afternoon and the youngest drew me a picture...


All the grandchildren like when I hang their artwork on the frig... so, after I admired her drawing, Chloe took it over and posted it on the frig for me.

Note: According to Chloe, the "love" on her shirt means she loves me.

    Now, that picture on the fridge is what it's all about! Awesome, Gramma!!
    I love your lighthouse fabric. My mother was a Coast Guard Auxiliary commander and loves lighthouses, too. I'm sure they will cherish these!

    Perfect choice of fabric! They're bound to love the rugs.

    I love your granddaughter's drawing, and explanation! Grandchildren make the world a brighter place :)

    I love children's art work. Next time, give her a Sharpie, fabric markers and piece of muslin and then you can use her art work for pillows. (I had my granddaughter do that and we made it into a small quilt to send her mother after she had been deployed to Cuba for 6 months. It made a wonderful gift!!!)
