Thankful Thursday

It's another Mug Cozy.

This time I made it in the retro Christmas fabric and included it in my Christmas in July swap package. I want to make one for me personally. I am hoping it does a good job keeping your beverage warm. Between the lining and outer fabric I used an inuslated interfacing called Insul Brite. It is supposed to keep your drink either warm or cold.

I love coffee in the morning, warm with some fat-free half and half, and a touch of sweetner and I love sweet, iced tea. I am trying to cut back on my sugar intake so I am not drinking anywhere near the amount I was but sometimes a southern girl has just got to have some sweet tea!

Are you a coffee or tea drinker? Hot beverage or cold?

Today was a wonderfully, relaxing day. I spent the morning working with business partner, and good friend, designing and making jewelry and we spent the late afternoon hours at her neighborhood pool. We lounged and relaxed and caught up with one another's lives. I am so thankful for our time together today.

Tomorrow evening my husband and I are going to see our daughter in Charleston, SC. Charleston is one of my favorite places. It is a beautiful city, rich in history and traditions but also has a huge art scene. It is also just minutes from mulitiple beaches. Our favorite beach is Isle of Palm and I hope to spend some time there on Saturday or Sunday.

Have a wonderful weekend and I will see you Monday with a new recipe!
