Mon Oeuvre ~ Mics. projects: Hexagon Mug rug

"Oeuvre" (the works of a painter, composer, or author regarded collectively: "the complete oeuvre of Mozart" a work of art, music, or literature: "an early oeuvre" ORIGIN late 19th cent.: French, literally ‘work.’ - Oxford Dictionary.)

I thought I'd make a mug rug, so I looked on the Crafty site and found a cute Hexagon pattern. My daughter loves to exercise at Orange Theory gyms, so I made her an "Orange Theory" inspired orange hexagon mug rug. I'd never bound a hexagon shape before, it took a few tries but I think I figured it out. 

*note to self, buy orange thread.

Here it is, being useful in it's new home.
