April Showers Blog Hop

Today is my special day to show you my mug rigs for the April Showers Blog Hop. 



First of all I need to send a big thank you for the wonderful job done by Madam Samm and Erin for the fabulous job they have done putting this hop together.  We've all had a great deal of fun....right?  I am sure we have also been greatly inspired by all of the creative work.

When I heard of the Mug Rug Blog Hop I jumped on board immediately.  I LOVE mug rugs and I love making mug rugs.  They are instant gratification and allow you to try some techniques that you may not want to use in a bigger quilt.  They are also so much fun to swap.  I keep a little stack of them close by at all times to use as coasters.

 

Although our rainy season is finished in March, we did get a bit of a shower on Easter Sunday. Spring here does not involve the drops falling from the skies, but these are a few of my April thoughts.

First off would be the gorgeous flowers blooming. It is also the time of the year that I freshen up my pots. An added "pot" this year is my mug rug. See how well my flowers are blooming already!!!







I can even pick my flowers for guests that come to join me for a cuppa.








Anyone who knows me also knows of my love for frogs. This time of the year the frogs are croakin' like crazy in the garden so I had to do a little mug rug in their honor.



 I love my mug and use it all the time, but now I have an accessory for it.




With the longer hours of daylight the chickens also start laying their eggs again. No more store bought eggs with the pale yellow yolks!



The birds chirping is one of the things I enjoy hearing the most when I am in my sewing studio. Springtime is always quite active in my backyard when the birds arrive. This little mug rug is one I made and keep at my sewing machine.



One last April event is the arrival of our migrating hummingbirds. With them comes my purchasing of the giant bags of sugar at Cost*co each week. LOL We have 6 - 4 cup feeders that need to be filled EVERY DAY, but we love having them for the summer.



Thanks for stopping by for a peek and be sure to pop over and visit all of the others sharing their mug rugs on the final day of the hop.  I know that those of you who have participated in the hop probably have a mug rug or two, but do you ever really have enough????   How about if I give away the hummingbird mug rug?  Just leave me a comment and let me know if you are interested.  Following is not necessary, but always welcomed.   I will choose a winner next Monday evening, April 22.

    All your mug rugs are sew adorable. I love the birdie ones. I have never seen so many hummingbirds on one feeder. You must be very sweet! The flower pot mug rug with the individual flower mug rugs is just the cutest thing ... my favorite! Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat

    Fabulous mug rugs - I like frogs and chickens too!
    I'm in England so I don't have hummingbirds - you're so lucky!
    I'm curious to know how you feed them - do you make a syrup from the sugar??

    What a great collection of mug rugs! Hard to pick a favorite, they're all so beautiful, though I love the originality of the flower pot! Have to say I've never seen so many hummingbirds at one feeder before. We will have two or three at most hanging around here, though one variety stays all winter.

    Oh my goodness! What a bunch of wonderful, unique mug rugs and each one just as cute as the next. You do an amazing job. The frog on his lily pad is adorable and so is your sewing wren. I was thinking your flower pot was made so that you could have 3 cookies with your cuppa!! How sweet that the flowers are removable and can be used by themselves. :) My husband and I are always so excited by the hummingbirds that come here in the late summer and fall.

    Such cute mug rugs! I especially like your robin and hummingbird. The frog is super cute, and the pot with flowers that can be "picked" for coasters is so creative and pretty. Beautiful work.

    Here in NM we are on migratory routes and celebrate with the return of hummingbirds. They are not here yet--good thing, since we had a bout of winter this past week.
