May Mug Rug
May 2020 - Music --- Anything musical or related to music.April
**Or** Anything you want. Please make sure to read through the posting before singing up. Welcome to the May 2020 - Music --- Anything musical or related to music. Get those creative minds to thinking and make a beautiful Mug Rug for your Partner. Signup begins; now 4 -22- 2020 Signup closes 5 - 5 - 2020 at midnight Partners will be assigned no later than: 5-6- 2020 Mail by dates: International 5-10-2020/ all others 5-20- 2020 these dates are firm. What is a mug rug? A mug rug is an item you use to place a cup of coffee, tea or soda on, along with a small snack plate/napkin beside it. It’s approximately 9”x8” or larger so both items will fit. Please do not make it smaller than 9”x8” as that is quite small for both items as it is! 1. You will be assigned a partner. This is not a secret pal swap. Each partner will contact the other partner for addresses. Will you make something abstract, realistic or whimsical? Will you appliqué or paper-piece or just go with regular piecing? 2. It must be made with 100% quilter’s cotton, with a nice cotton batting in between to protect furniture from possible damage due to heat/cold. Use a binding method you are comfortable with, or practice & learn a new binding technique! Also, the mug rug must be quilted. Remember, this is a gift you are making for someone. Be proud of your work & do your best. And be kind about what you receive. If you have any issues, please work it out with your partner first, before contacting me; communication is key. This board is for all of us to make friends & have fun. 3. You must send your name, address and phone number for emergency’s only to me, Boop56 by March 3rd.Don’t forget to send me notice (with tracking number) that you have sent to your partner. Any delays must be shared with me prior to this date. I want everyone to receive a partner’s trade. We should not have to request angels. Again, communication is important. You can be forgiven if something comes up & you notify your partner & me prior to the end of your swap mail date requirement. But if you don’t communicate & don’t send out a mug rug to your partner, you will be locked out of swapping with this group and negative feedback will insure other swap groups know you didn't send. 4. You are free to include little gifts with your mug rug, handmade or store-bought; it’s up to you. But you are only obligated to send a mug rug. Nothing else is required in this swap. 5. Any questions? Contact me immediately and I will help get you started. 6. Please take a photo before you ship your package to your partner, just in case she cannot post a photo. We all want to see photos! But don’t post it until you know your partner has received your package & that she is unable to post a photo. 7.Also, please let me know if you can mail internationally! This is important, as we have quite a few international swappers who want to join us, & I don’t want anybody to be left out. So if you can ship internationally — even just one time — that would make it more fun for our overseas & Canadian swappers! Thank you!! Have fun! ! Remember you are required by the board to send things you sign up for, or risk not having the ability to swap again in other swaps. Again, per board rules, anything about your partner or the item they swap to you that does not please you is not to be posted on the board but sent in a PM to me or to your partner to sort out. It’s polite and it’s the right thing to do. *********Upcoming Months********** June 2020 - Feathered Friends. July 2020 - Sports Anything sports related that *You* like. Now there are alot of sports.

Hello everyone. Finally starting to get in a routine. Had a little scare. Hubby had been in contact with 2 different people that had tested positive for COVD19. He is an essential so it was work related. So he had to get tested. It was a nervous 7 days waiting for the result but it came back negative. So........okay. How have you all been dealing with this? Florida is doing a phase 1 of opening up the state. We live in an area where the planes for the airport go right over us. It is weird with no planes actually. We live on a busy road. We have gotten use to no cars. But that will all change. I am still very leery. My husband is 64 with COPD so I am not sure when he will actually go back. His doctor sent paperwork stating is in the high risk category. Plus our parks and lakefront have been shut down all this time and if they open those all up, well those are his actually areas for work. But we will see. Okay enough of me babbling.

Everyone is so talented. Please contact your swap partner and exchange mailing information. Next month is Feathered Friends. I don't know if everyone has the stash to make these, so whatever you want to make for June is great. I do not want anyone out and about until you feel comfortable. I know I am not comfortable yet. I want to wait another month. I want to see if cases go up with our state opening up to a Phase 1. We are beside Orlando and that is the hotspot in Florida. Our county has the 3rd highest cases reported in the state. Anyway...Let's begin. Thank you everyone, Peggy |

Thank you Granky for a great swap. It reminded me of New Orleans Jazz. We used to live in Louisiana. You are a great partner. I love the extras as well. The yarn snips are already in my knitting basket.

June mug rug swap?
Have i missed the signups for June?
|
Short n Sweet. You mug rug truly put a smile on my face. Something that is just a mere though these days. Thank you for the mask. I was making so many, it was nice to receive one.
Everyone, I am sorry for being absent. I cannot believe how much of a backslide I did. How do you all do it? I let myself sink so low into a depression, that I literally don't know the meaning or reasoning for getting up. Functioning. I didn't need to do a day to day because I let my husband handle . Literally everything. My days all blurred. I saw my granddaughter for the first time in 6 weeks andi was afraid I was losing my mind. I didn't recognize her. Now mind you this is a child I had everyday (except weekends) for 11 years because I was their nanny. I just drove today. First day in forever. My anxiety got the better of me. A car beside me beeped and I went into panic mode. I have had my car 5 months and just put 1000 miles on it. But that was my husband driving it the most. I will be 64 in a few weeks and feel at least 80. Onwards, upwards and prioritize. |
