I got a little bit of time each day to catch up on handiwork. The rain helped me out, although I should have been shampooing carpets or something else, ha ha!
I was thinking "from stash to cash" for this project, but I'm not so sure about it now. Maybe just the coasters.
I finished this coaster and cozy set for myself. I was feeling the fall weather, with the dreary cold and wet weather we were getting early in the week.
My "Grad" Daughter eye-spied it, and exclaimed, "I want one of those!"
She may get one. In her stocking or for Christmas. Maybe. The only problem with the matching cozy, is that the granny square fits larger mugs only. I didn't follow the pattern either. Instead of two squares, I used one and then made the strap and added buttons. I wanted an area to drink my coffee without getting yarn in my mouth. I also used scrap, 100% cotton I had in my stash.
I used buttons from my craft stash too. Hard to believe I only paid $.25 for them. Glad I have a stash of them too.
I started to pull more scraps of my cotton yarn to make more coasters to sell at the market and possibly online as well. I just wish I could make the cozy to match each one. Sets sell pretty well, but the cozy needs custom made to the mug a person owns.
Not to worry, I make other items using the granny square, so other sets can still be created by buyers.
Current library loot.
Started a jar of pickled garlic cloves.
I finally washed the gloves, hats and a few scarves.
More rain is on the way.

I said goodbye to two more older magazines.
Cracked more walnuts, and saved more walnut shells for fire starters.
