This Week's Easy Street ~


 


These are my part 3 squares for Bonnie Hunter's Easy Street mystery. I had fun just dreaming up ways to lay this block out!


Yes, I completed the required amount, plus some :-}

 This is a mug rug for my friend Pauline. It's a stocking stuffer gift for tomorrow morning's staff breakfast at 7 a.m.







This one is for my friend, and boss ~


Can you believe, these mugs are in my oven for an overnight baking? I got the idea from my super creative daughter, who directed me here:





 "It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness, oh Lord."  Lamentations 3:22-23

    What a fun idea with those mugs. I will for sure take time to check out that site. Aren't daughters the best for directing us to fun projects and to do fun projects with too.

  6. I visited your blog to see how you were doing on your Easy Street quilt, and to say how much I love it - I do, I do! The colors are awesome, and good for you to be on schedule! - and then I saw those mugs! What a wonderful idea you've shared! Thanks for the heads up. When I saw the first mug, with the name, I was ready to ask where you bought them personalized. It's a lovely gift idea. Just another reason that it's worthwhile to follow blogs and see what friends are up to. Thanks!

    I also love the mug idea! Yours are so inspiring! I sent a link to my sister, who teaches high school art. I thought this might be a project that she could do just before the Christmas break with students. I want to try it too!
