In case you haven't heard, we've had a giant ice storm here in Texas all weekend. Our poor tree branches are laying on the ground. As far as we can tell, none are broken and we are hoping they will bounce back as the ice thaws.
We've been stuck in the house since Thursday (ok, we snuck out to Target yesterday afternoon in hubby's big truck with brand new tires. It probably wasn't our brightest move, but we were all suffering from severe cabin fever! We're home now safe and warm, no worries). Honestly, we could use a little excitement here at ellyn's place. How about a giveaway? What? It's Sew Mama Sew Giveaway day you say? How convenient!
With all of this nasty weather coast to coast I imagine there's lots of hot beverage drinking going on. Whatever your drink of choice, (tea? hot chocolate? coffee?) wouldn't it taste better on a snazzy Christmas mug rug? Yes? I thought so (what? you're reading this on the other side of the equator and are currently drinking lemonade on the beach? Fine. Christmas is still coming up, right?)

cute mug rug! thanks for stopping by : )
I'm in Texas too, the ice is awful. The mug rug is really pretty!
WANT! Hmmmmm, my list FOR Santa or FROM Santa? My Santa has a couple of eye surgeries coming up so, I want a speedy and uneventful recovery for him. FROM Santa? A real greenhouse with entry from the south side of the back porch...oh, please oh, please! I will be real good! Well, as good as I can be for me anyway!
Hmmm... I wouldn't mind some fun socks :) Thanks for the chance!
So cute! Hope you are staying warm inside!
On my Santa list.... a new Vera Bradley bag with matching wallet. :) Very cute mug rug and would love to win it. I will use it on my desk when I'm hard at work. My Halloween one that you made me is on my sewing table by my machine. :)
On my list is only a bit of felt for more Christmas ornaments to get an early start next year!AriadnefromGreece!
Thank you for a fun giveaway. If I could have anything it would be a sewing room, but I will settle for some quilting books.

I remember ice storms in Texas. Not fun. Makes for fantastic photos though. Stay safe. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a cute mug rug! I would love to win it. On my list from Santa would be more hours in the day. lol Watching an 18 mo granddaughter just is sooo time-consuming but sure is fun.
Stay warm and I hope the trees make it through the icestorm okay.
Cute mug rug. We are in SC and I am wishing for snow (no ice though) from Santa
Such an adorable mug rug! I don't really have anything on my wish list for Santa but I wouldn't turn down the EQ7 quilting software if it showed up under the tree!
WE had our first snow yesterday & are loving that! I'd love a new mug rug for my mugs! xx
What a delicious looking mug rug. That would make any snack more appetizing :) Thanks for the chance to win. On my list are a couple of books and {always} sewing supplies.
We don't really do Santa gifts in my family anymore (we did as little kids, but now the gifts are from family and only the stockings are from Santa), but I'm hoping I get a cutting board this year.
I'm in Dallas so I know what you're saying about the ice and definitely agree with the cabin fever comment!! Hoping for new fabric scissors this year! :)
We are snowed in up here in Arkansas. My brother-in-law lives in Dallas and he says he is going crazy.
What a darling mug rug! On my wish list is a set of nice measuring cups for baking- My puppy chewed up my plastic ones.
hmm a ton of books are on the list ... mostly for university ... and there is a pan and new fabric scissors and spare blades for the rotary cutter and hmmm gran will finance the batting for a few quilts (unknowingly) and hmm yep hair bands and now I can't remember the rest ..
Hi Ellen ! I found you--thanks to your FB link. If I learn to bookmark, can I bookmark your site? Your work is beautiful--including the close-up photography of the tree leaves :D

I love these handmade giveaways! I long arm quilt and never have time to make something for myself. From Santa? I really want a Quilters Rule ruler that you can set to line up precisely for 2.5 inch (or others) cuts. Spendy, but would help from making slipping mistakes. Happy holidays!
I enjoy these handmade giveaways so much, everyone makes such wonderful articles for the giveaway. Christmas list wow well other than a new Harley and a cruise around the world both of which I know I won't get I am going to ask my personal Santa for a hex and more ruler and a drop in table for my sewing machine.
We had an ice storm in Ontario and Quebec years and years ago - pretty but so destructive. I'm hoping for a new iron and ironing board cover from Santa.
i would love some new yarn.
I would love a white Christmas. If I have my family here for Christmas I'm happy. My son is in the military, so anytime we are all together it is a gift.
What a cure mug rug! I would love a camera from Santa!
That’s a really sweet little mug rug! At the moment I would really like Santa to bring me children that stay in their beds and go to sleep at bed time! At any other time I would love Santa to bring me a lovely new sewing machine with blanket stitch and a couple of other non boring stitches as I have exhausted what can be done with straight and zigzag stitch. I know Santa will definitely not be bring me what I wish for but whatever he does bring will be appreciated. :-)
Super cute festive mug rug. I love to drink peppermint tea during the winter to warm me up. We have rain and nasty weather but luckily we have had no ice thank goodness.
What a cute mug rug. You are so handy at sewing. My wish is for Peace on Earth for everyone.
I'm sorry for the weather. I'm from Barcelona and it's sunny and mild at the moment. In my Santa's list there's a new bag for work. Thanks for the giveaway!
So cute! They are on my list of things to make...my list is just too long.
I love that mug rug! I don't love that ice! My sister, from Dallas, was stranded in Cinci with me last week because of the ice.
I'd like the Hoop La! Book for 100'projects, or a new timing belt for my car, sigh.
What a cute mug mat! I like it a lot more than I like this icy weather we're having in Oregon. :) I don't mind the cold but the ice...not so much. :)
What a cute mug rug! We had one branch break on the little berry bush outside my craft room window! :(
Very pretty mug rug and who doesn't love candy canes? So of course I wouldn't argue if you wanted to add those, lol! ;)
One thing on my wishlist is a ruler organizer for my quilting rules. And a new brush for my sewing machine.
Thanks so much for this giveaway!
I can totally see myself having hot chocolate on this! Santa spent all his money on a trip to Disney World last month so nothing for me under the tree.
Cute and mmm proper candy canes. mug rug is on my long list of things to make! Please Santa can you teach my fingers to crochet :)
I am asking santa for a foam roller for christmas. My soar muscles need a good rolling session.
We are having Ice in Virginia too! I wonder if Santa can give me more sewing time?

I already received my main Christmas present this year - I've been hand sewing for a couple of years and finally got my first sewing machine as a Christmas present from my mother. She decided it was easier to get it delivered straight to me rather than move it around the country, so I took the day off last Thursday to wait for the courier. Yay. Hope you get what you're hoping for too, and thank you for a lovely giveaway.
Absolutely love mug rugs. Thanks for the giveaway
I've asked for a Kindle Paperwhite.
Love your mug rug. Your making me feel good about our -10 temp.
Love mug rugs! Made them for all the girls in my office last Christmas! We had ice today in Virginia and now expecting 4-6 inches of heavy snow tomorrow! Staying home from work to sew, sew and sew some more!
This would be my first mug rug! So cute!
I asked for a water softener. lol
I'm loving this mug rug. A few crafting supplies are on my list for Santa this year.
Thank you for the chance. I have made rugs for gifts but have never kept one for myself! Why do we do that, leave ourselves till last. I would love to use your rug. Stay safe!
Santa's bringing my son home for 3 whole weeks! I'm so thrilled!
Such a cute little mug rug
That is adorable! Wonderful for some hot chocolate by the fire :)
I am hoping for a new iron this Christmas. I am happy to follow you on GFC. Merry Christmas. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
So far it has been super warm here but I am afraid that is coming to an end tomorrow. I think we are getting your cold headed this was (Alabama). My list for Santa includes a new cutting mat for my cutting table, the one on there has so many groves from cutting that it keeps catching my rotary cutter. And Embird for my embroidery machine.
Hello from Melbourne, Australia where it is kind of warm (but not as warm as it should be for this time of year).
This year I am hoping to get some new vases to replace all the ones which got broken.
Some Ghastlies fabric to make a cool handbag. Thanks for the chance!
Cute mug rug - love the binding. I'm hoping Santa brings some gift certificates to my favorite quilt shops. Thanks for the giveaway.

Gorgeous Mug rugs, I need to make a few before Christmas.
I'm in Texas, too.... not loving the ice so much, but I do love watching the snow flurries when they fall. The mug rug is so pretty! For Christmas, I'd love some warm, fuzzy socks in funky fun colors. :)
What a cute mug rug! I would really like some new quilting books this year!
What a cute mug rug. I am looking for a Nexus 7. My e reader is starting to go and I do love my e reader. My son suggested that I get this. So I hope I have been a good girl this year and will get one. Thanks for a chance to win your lovely mug rug.
too cute! i would love for santa to bring me more yarn, but alas, there is nowhere to put it! lol
I'm hoping for a dinner out with my Santa :)
What a darling mug rug. I hope your ice has started to melt by now. I know how frustrating it can feel to be stuck in the house.
The thing I'm really hoping for is a paper trimmer! Put it on the list, but we'll see. :)
Thanks for the chance! Hope your weather is back to normal soon!
I really want a tablet for Christmas so I can have all my quilting patterns at hand easily

I just love mug rugs and have a couple but not a holiday one! I'm hoping to get some slippers under the tree this year :) Thanks for the chance to win!
We got a lot of ice here in Md too. I think it's beautiful afterwards. Not much on my list except for a couple of quilt books. Thanks!
On my Christmas list this year, to bring a new puppy in to our home.
Ice in Texas! oh my! I live up in northern Alberta Canada and we've been having -25 to -30 celsius consistently for the last few weeks with a few dips to -40! Sweet little mug rug, and thanks for your generosity !!

Well, I am in Florida and there is not ice or snow....in fact, we are suffering from too much warm! I can't wait for a little chill to happen!
I'm not picky. Whatever Santa brings me is fine!
I'm in TX also, but the ice didn't make it down to San Antonio. Hmmmm, for Christmas I wanted some new fabric and some books.
Super cute mug rug! For Christmas I'm hoping for a new curling iron. Kinda boring, but my old one is toast :)
