Pin-spiration!!!

I thought I'd do a quick little post to share some more of my pin-spirated ideas. This one goes out to a co-worker of mine. She had the good fortune to have her name drawn by me in the Secret Santa. (Well, I think it's a good thing. I'll let her think what she wants).

Anyway, I'm a fan of the custom gift....WHAT!?! You don't say! Couldn't tell by all my hobbies and crafts pinned on my Pinterest account. Anyhoo.....I found this little gem and thought, why the hell not.

TOO CUTE!!! Right!?!

So here's what I made...er...came up with. I fiddled with the design a bit...but had a good outcome.

Cute Polka dot Orange Fabric covered button

That Tea be hot!!!

I tappered the knitting to allow the band to sleeve between the handle and the mug. I created a button hole at the end of the taper. The Orange fabric was left over from a baby quilt that I'd made (actually for the same co-worker, who just had a little one). I'm sentimental like that.

I thought the hand stiched little tea tag with the RED HOT - well HOT was too perfect. You be the judge.

I'm thinking I may make a few more of these for gifts. Pair with white ceramic mug and a package of their favorite hot beverage. Cocoa....Tea....Coffee.....

HOT TODDY!?! You decide.
