Cuppa/coaster combo


I found these pretty cups and bowls on sale at my favorite store; Anthropologie. Don’t they have the cutest stuff?  I plan to use the set at my work desk to help cheer the place up a bit.  I decided to crochet a coordinating colored coaster to go with. I was over visiting ‘Crochet with Raymond’s blog and saw that Alice had posted this adorable mandala pattern. Soooo bright and cheerful. I made up a few using up stash yarn, and now I have to decide which is my favorite.  Looking forward to having a cuppa Via (my new favorite drink) while I’m busy tapping away at the computer.

  2. The mandala pattern is great and I love the way you made it your own. The colours look great and the cup and bowl are a real accesoire for your desk. It is always nice to have something that pretty to look at while you're working.
