Welcome to the hottest time of the year....
August!
I'm hot already!
Think cool thoughts going....and have a slice of watermelon.
I painted this artwork a while back but I thought it would make a sweet calendar!
This is perfect for you desktop.
------------------------------------------
Every month I have been making a new mugrug....each month I try to fit the mood of the month.
This time I wanted flowers...like a summer garden.
If you make one... try flowers, camping, baseball, water/beach fabrics....any theme you want.
I love changing the mugrugs, plus I wash the last month's one..press it and store it for next year.
Use the diagram above for measurements. For more details check out my previous blog posts...where I explain it.
I just did some light quilting on this one.
They are big enough to have a warm drink and water too.
