A Perfect Morning Pick-me-up!


I love a good cup of coffee in the morning. Brew it strong and serve it hot with a splash of milk and spoonful of sugar. What could possibly improve on that?



How about adding a colorful patchwork mug rug? It's the coffee (or tea) accessory I never knew I needed!


My friend, Mary Conley, made this postage stamp version exclusively from her scrap bag. Each vibrant square finishes at a mere half inch. Isn't it fun? 


Why not make yourself a mug rug and see if it doesn't “perk up” your morning brew? There are plenty of ideas, patterns, and tutorials online.
