Hello my friends, have you ever heard of a mug rug?
It's a cute little mat, smaller than a place mat used to hold your teacup or mug and a small treat.
About a month ago Kimberly from
Camp and Cottage Living contacted me
and asked if I would be interested in joining
a 'mug rug exchange'.
Of course, I jumped on it. I was partnered up with Stephanie from
The Enchanting Rose. She is so talented and I knew that my mug rug would be fabulous!
When my package arrived, it certainly did not disappoint!
A gorgeous lace tree with bling on top. I also love all of the pretties sewn into the edges!

And look at the other lovelies she sent me.
Love all of the gorgeous lace and embellishments she added.
Even the tea and chocolate was dressed up so lovely.
This afternoon I fixed me a cup of hot chocolate and a piece of pecan pie. I do believe it tasted more delicious than usual. Could it be because it was sitting on my mug rug? :)
I knew that Stephanie loved pink so I gave her a pair of pink mittens on her mug rug.
I threw in a few pink vintage goodies.
This exchange was so fun and I'm sending hugs to both Kimberly and Stephanie!
And as always,
hugs to you too!

I will be sharing with these lovely parties:

It was a joy to have both you and Stephanie participate in the Christmas mug rug exchange! You both did a super job and your gifts were so reflective of each of your personalities I think.
Thanks you to two sweet ladies! Kimberly
Oh that is so pretty1 A mug rug - what a great idea!
Aren't you a lucky gal to receive all those delectable goodies from Stephanie! The pretties your gifted Stephanie are gorgeous too. Those pink mittens are very sweet.
Oh how fun! Stephanie is my pocket pal partner for Christmas! I am enjoying getting to know new friends through these super fun exchanges. I've never heard of a mug rug but those are Both so cute, such a fun idea! Enjoy!! Blessings, Cindy
What precious goodies! You have started me thinking about mug rugs and fun fabrics and specially chosen treats. So many little delights count up to be one big blessing.
Oh how sweet! You both are very talented gals!
Of the two, I choose your mitten creation.
I have that flower patterned dessert plates from my mother but I didn't know there were bowls (or maybe its a cup). The search is on.
Fun swap - I can tell that both of you put a lot of thought into your projects! Our rug group is exchanging hooked rugs & matching mugs at our next meeting. It's gonna be SO fun to see them all!
Both are so cute! I love the quilted mittens so much! You all are so talented.
Wow, what a lovely idea! Love both rugs!!

Jann,
Adorable mug rug, dear friend!!!
The 'vintage' half apron is much like those I used at my Wedding Reception for the hostess and her helpers!!! Thanks for the wonderful walk down memory lane!!!
Fondly,

What a fun exchange. A mug rug ... something new to me and both are so pretty.

You are just the sweetest, dear Jann :) It was truly a blessing to be partnered with you and I had a lovely time making your mug rug.
I also LOVE the mug rug you made me and you are right, I love my pink {{smiles}} You spoiled me, sweet friend, and I will thoroughly enjoy each item.
I will be sharing your goodies on my blog this coming week. I hope you had a delightful Thanksgiving, dear one. Hugs to you!
How fun! Both of those mug rugs are too pretty to use! I'd be afraid of spilling on them. I just received a heart ornament that I bought from Stephanie's Etsy shop and it is so pretty! All the extra goodies were like yours...all lacy and pretty and sweet. I love her things. I love your pink mittens...did you quilt that?! You girls are all too talented next to me!
How fun!
How fun! I loved seeing your mug rugs and oh, that pie! We just have to make the time to create a beautiful life.
Jann,

Such a sweet idea and so pretty! I especially love your mitten mug rug! So nice to spend time looking at all your lovely decorating and amazing features. Glad to have time to visit! Looking forward to your Christmas decorations.
So fun and pretty!
I do love making mug rugs and have made a few. Your exchange partner did a WONDERFUL job!!!
Hi Jann, it is so nice to see that you are having fun with mug rugs. I discovered them a few years ago and they make great hostess gifts and they are a wonderful way to try out new quilting techniques. These are so pretty. Wishing you the merriest of holidays.
Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
So pretty Jann,
Had not heard of a mug hug before and so love this idea! Both the one you made and the one you received are so pretty!
What a great way to celebrate a blogging friend at Christmas!
Happy Monday!
Hugs, Kimberley
That is a cute idea and such a pretty little mug rug. Thanks for joining Home Sweet Home!
These are really sweet and unique! What a lovely idea to exchange mug rugs! So glad you have shared them with us, Jann.
Blessings,
Sandi
What a fun exchange! Both the mug rugs are beautiful! Stephanie always makes the loveliest crafts.
I happen to love different mug-rugs, and I love this exchange idea :)
You've made such a beautiful one (but I'm not surprised!) and it shows that it was made with lots of love :)
Jann, you and Stephanie were the perfect match and we're both sooo blessed! Your quilted mug rug that you sent was precious and Stephanie's was so full of vintage charm. What a sweet swap!
