Granted, the mugs are really nice and they work really well for coffee. But for those of us that drink ice water most of the day, the mugs are a big pain in the badunk a dunk. The condensation that forms is really annoying and we end up using a paper towel under the mug to prevent water from getting all over our desks and documents, which totally screws up the whole green thing.
I saw THIS coaster pattern over at Crochet Cami. My last attempt at coasters was a big old bust, so I wasn't holding my breath on this one either. Thankfully, the pattern turned out to be pretty simple and I whipped out six of them for myself and some of my co-workers, using left over fabric from the wall hangings I made.
Nothing goes better with coffee than coffee cake. I saw THIS pattern over at CookNKnit and had to try it. I used pecans instead of oatmeal and it turned out amazing. It may have been the best thing I ever baked.
Take a closer look. Yummmmm!!!
*drool*
I made this cake about 2 weeks ago and forgot to upload the pics. Just looking at them makes me want to bake this again, right now!
P.S. - Ally, I'm definitely going to be making banana bread for Thanksgiving. Its become a family favorite around here!

Cute coasters! I agree that your coworkers are lucky! That coffee cake looks delicious! I love coffee cake (one of the few non-chocolate sweets I like), but I can't eat nuts. : (
Cute! I'm going to have to make some of these for gifts. I love the fabric you used. What did you have your stich on for the quilting, if you remember? i like how long each stich is?
