Slow Stitching - cross stitched mugs

I will be working on a few little cross stitched mugs to embellish some mug rugs I want to make.  It will be my first go at this sort of project but I am looking forward to incorporating these little mugs into these projects.  I did not find a pattern I liked online and I did not have any in my pattern book so I made one up!!  I will be using Derwent Inktense Paints to colour the cup and the background to coordinate with my fabric.  It will be a fun project!!  I will stitch a few more mugs, cut them apart, colour them and then add fabric all around them when I make the mug rugs.  Therese
