So it's been a very slow week in my corner of the world. I am on a "lay down as much as you can" kind of bed-rest. Of course my definition probably differs than the doctor's or my husband's...So I have been laying down a lot and sitting/sewing very little. The mug rugs have been wrapped along with their Cocoa mixes and 9 were delivered yesterday.
Note: For those who asked about augmenting the cocoa recipe to be more like a "drinking Chocolate" I am sorry to tell you that it just does not work. My recipe ends up being a non-fat american cocoa recipe. I have learned from my research and experimentation that "Drinking Chocolate" is basically made from milk and a melted candy bar which includes the chocolate fat & milk fat, which is why is tastes soooo good! I was able to only find one drinking chocolate mix in my local area; it was very good and worth the Benadryl (allergy medicine). So those who have access to such mixes, you really have it better off! lol.
I finished getting the pieces cut and ironed onto my "melting rainbows" and have begun the slow process of zigzagging around each piece. I like the look of the black thread on the front, but if I had put more thought into it I would have used a rainbow thread for the bobbin/back. I can tell this one may take a couple weeks at the rate my sewing times are appearing in my day. I have been asked how I made this project...since it is being made up as I go along I will have to tell you what the process was/is when I finish.
I had 4 very small finishes this week; I was able to hand-sew the binding on the 4 of the mug rugs I started a few weeks back (I missed taking a picture of one of them). I have assembled the burp cloths, but have not added the embellishments yet.
