You know what I think is exciting? Learning new things. I’ve been taking baby steps to learn how to make a quilt and this coffee mug rug is a great step on the way to that goal, because a mug rug is just a little quilt! It’s made small to fit a delicious cup of coffee…
Have you ever wanted to give a really special Easter basket to someone? I’ve bought new baskets over the years, hoping to achieve a personalized look, but I needed to make one myself to get the look that I really wanted. The only problem was that I had no idea how to do that. Then, I…
