HaPpy New Year everyone!

Yikes, time just zips by faster and faster all the time. It is so hard to believe that we are 13 days into the new year already.

What have I been up to? I made 15 mug rugs for swaps and Christmas gifts and planned on making more but ran out of time.

I knew that I would have time right after Christmas to make some more for friends and family that I wouldn't be seeing for the holidays but would see them in late January. But life has a way of throwing wrenches into our plans, doesn't it?

Hubby went in for an angiogram on Dec 28th and had quintuple by-pass surgery with mitral valve repair the next day. Another yikes. We are so blessed and fortunate that he is on the mend and alive. He could have had a fatal heart attack if a small series of events hadn't happened to get him to the angiogram. God is good and watching over us, that is for sure.

Here are several of the mug rugs I made. The 'cute ones' were made for my grand kids to use for their cereal and snack bowls as well as their glasses of milk, water, juice etc. They weren't as jazzed about them as much as I was with making them, LOL. But I don't care, they were so fun to make. And I'll make them more HA!
