My Mug Rug - a Friday Favorite

I have a mug rug - I didn't know that! In that box I was going through I discovered that my forward thinking daughter, made a mug rug 8 years ago, 2003.  How's that for being ahead of the curve? She crossstitched the flower.  I am going to clear a space on my desk to put it and enjoy it.  Thank you, Em, once again.  You know how much I like flowers.  It's amazing what one finds in those destashing boxes.


PS:  that's  my favorite mug too - not for the size but the saying.

    That is a gorgeous find and I certainly wouldn't be putting a mug on it, it's too beautiful.

    Favorite Friday thing: Putting on my "Wabi Sabi" shirt and sweater. I read an article about the Japanese aesthetic of Wabi Sabi - the appreciation of the imperfect and impermanent as manifested in the material world. When I read this article I pulled my favorite shirt and sweater out of the mending basket where they had sat for a couple of years. I realized they weren't in need of mending - they were just Wabi Sabi. I put a picture of the shirt on my blog.

    So, after all of your commenters suggested not using your mug run - what will you do? :)

    I cant believe the detail in that stitching. It's just so pretty. And the border is perfect! Yes - you're daughter is quite possibly the inventor of mug rugs!

    All of my mugs rugs have coffee on them . It adds character. I'm not sure I'd be using that one though. It's too pretty to stain!

    Thanks for dropping by to FTF and linking up :)

    So very pretty. I would be scared to use it as well, mostly because I could never make anything so pretty! Love this FTF.
