Coffee, Anyone?

I just love the taste of a good cup of coffee. I can't say that I am a coffee addict, but I do love the smell of it brewing and the rich flavor when I take the first sip. I had a nice delicious cup this weekend and it got me to thinking.... I don't have an appropriate coffee cup sleeve for the spring/summer. Well, you know me, off to my creative studio I go.

Digging through my stash of fabrics, I found some very cute and colorful pieces that I felt would do the trick. What do you think? Do these say spring? Summer? Ah, pretty daisy flowers everywhere.

These make me want to visit one of my favorite coffee shops and get the best drink every. Can we say Turtle Mocha??? Now, is it really a drink or is it a dessert???? By the calorie content, I have concluded it is a dessert conveniently disguised as a drink. Yummy!!!

I did make five (5) new coffee cup snugglers over the weekend. You can find them in my Etsy Shop. Hmmm, I'll get them over to my online store as well. Maybe next week.

The Challenge of 2008

Wow, can you believe it. 2008!!!! Where did 2007 go? Does this mean that we are too busy, even for ourselves, to realize how time flies? Or, am I really having fun and time does fly??? It must be that latter. How can you not have fun when you are creating something?

Well, this year, instead of making a New Year's Resolution, I vowed to challenge myself to create a new item each week. Hmmm, can 52 items be too daunting of a task? Heck, no!!! It's fun so I am guessing time will fly.

On to this weeks challenge:

It dawned on me one day while drinking a cup of coffee, that the paper sleeve on the cup was not trendy, snazzy nor did it represent my personality. So, why not create your own. So, I did. My very own cup snuggler.

Of course I could not just stop at one. I had to make one for my Aunt Shirley who loves hot Tea:

Do you think she will like it? I sure hope so. I really think this one is so trendy and Aunt Shirley is a hip and happenin' kinda gal. I can't wait for her to get it.

I had fun making this cute little item. It is not only trendy, attractive and useful; it is also eco-friendly. Use it over and over again. Would you like to have one of your own, pop on over to the shop and design your cup snuggler today.
