A Hug in a Mug

My daughter has got some handlettering books from Sinterklaas and while I was cleaning her room I flipped through a couple of pages. I was immediately inspired and made this mug. It's a gift to myself, because a good cup of coffee can really feel like a hug in a mug, am I right?

    I'm impressed by your crafty result! And I enjoyed learning the name "Sinterklaas".

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though.

In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases.

Strawberries!

After months of crocheting, I am now more in the mood for sewing.

Love that! www.betweennapsontheporch.net
