Mug Rug Tag Card
 
I have made a Lot of rice bags over the years and always put a little tag card on them with the poem "this little pillow filled with rice .....", so I'm getting ready to jump on the Mug Rug "band wagon" (LOL) and thought they should have a little poem too. Sooo ----

A place for coffee, water, pop or tea
Whenever you use it, think of me.
Extra room for a little treat
Be it fruit or veggies or something sweet.

Anybody that has better wording can jump right in and help me with this.

cute, cute. Good idea:)

QuiltnNan 04-07-2011 06:04 PM

I really like it. I hope you don't mind if I use it on my tags.

mltquilt 04-07-2011 06:08 PM

Very cute and totally appropriate for a mug rug.

Sounds great to me!

lheizen 04-07-2011 07:42 PM

I love it

QuiltE 04-07-2011 08:27 PM

Great idea ... otherwise some may be puzzled when they get it!

What size are you making your Mug Rugs?

Ann L 04-08-2011 02:21 AM

Perfect! Wish I could be as creative.

sunflower126 04-08-2011 03:10 AM

It's perfect. I used another one that someone on the board wrote and it was cute too. But this one explains the purpose better. I hope you will allow us to use it on ours.

patricia graham 04-08-2011 03:15 AM

I really like it.I've made two of my own to keep.I use them all the time@washable too.

Care to share the alternative?
Please? and Thanks!

rannyof3 04-08-2011 05:17 AM

Well Of Course, everybody can use it. I'm humbled. If anybody has ideas for changes, post it... I used to post the rice bags ones on blank business cards and attached them.

lynn7448 04-08-2011 05:22 AM

What was the complete poem you used for the rice bags? That just sounds so perfect for gift giving when you can provide a cute little poem.

rannyof3 04-08-2011 06:21 AM

This little pillow filled with rice is such a comforting device,
Microwave for 2 or 3 minutes on HIGH
and kiss those aces and pains good-bye.
Apploy it to a troubled spot, the heat will ease the pain alot.
or warm those little toes, so cold.
Youo'll find this nice to have and to hold.
Or freeze it for while, and fix that boo-boo in style.
Instead of a compress made of ice, use this pillow filled with rice.

Like it!

I will share this with you but please whoever wrote it I am not trying to take credit for the poem. I did a search and can't seem to find it. I used it on the 3 dozen I made and gave for Christmas gifts this year.

I could have made a bigger quilt,
I'm willing and I'm able
But instead I made this tiny quilt
To save your lovely table.
So when you are drinking something hot
And want to rest your mug
Remember that your special cup
Now has it's own little rug.

If the person who wrote this reads this please take credit. Thanks.

Ann L 04-08-2011 01:24 PM

All three are very nice. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

patricia graham 04-08-2011 01:55 PM

That's a good idea for the rice.Never thought of putting it in freezer, I use it for heat mostly.Although mice like the rice too, so a friend showed me to use an old mens sock@fill with popcorn.Warm up in microwave for 3 min, take out, cool completely.Then when cold u can stick in microwave for longer.Keep's warm for awhile..

QuiltE 04-08-2011 02:28 PM

Thanks for all the verses!!

As I was driving today, I was thinking of Mug Rugs done, rolled up and tied with ribbon ... then one placed at each place at Christmas Dinner instead of Christmas Crackers. Or used for table favours at any event!



Question .... what size are you people finding best for your Mug Rugs? Also for the pockets?

Please? and Thanks!

leiladylei54 04-08-2011 02:50 PM

Oh a nice idea to include this tag with that cute poem. I like it!!!

rannyof3 04-08-2011 05:36 PM

I'd like to know the sizes also..... Thanks

I made mine 7 x 9" with no pockets. Rolled them and put them into a mug with a single wrapped biscotti and a single serve coffee of hot chocolate. Used them for friends, teachers, gift exchange for female family members.

Good idea, Ranny for the additions!!

patricia graham 05-21-2011 03:18 AM

I'm on to making more mug rugs today.Mine are becoming a little ragged with washing so much but can always fix in a jiffy.

Homespun 07-07-2011 10:14 AM

Love it.

Homespun 07-08-2011 05:32 AM

I changed your poem a little to make it more snappy!

A place for coffee, soda, tea
When you use it think of me!
Extra room for a little treat
Be it veggies, fruit or sweet.
