More birthday sewing

This gift for sweet Candice took me a while. Not because the sewing was difficult but because I couldn't decide which fabric to use! Lol! Finally I settled on her favorite college team-Auburn University . I made a basket for her like the one I made for Sandy along with handmade soaps. Then I tried, for the first time, to make a mug rug. I'm pretty pleased with how this one turned out . It really was fun to make.
Next on the list is sewing for my northern friends. Suggestions are appreciated. :)
