No more burning fingers

We have delicious coffee at my new work. But the cups are too thin to carry them back to the office without burning your fingers.

Here is the solution I came up with this afternoon. Hopefully there will be no more burning fingers!

Colourful felt

In London I fell in love with a colourful rug at Anthropologie. It was made of hundreds of little balls of felt, and just looked so pretty and comfortable - I would have loved to pack it in my suitcase!
And today, on Pickles, what do I find? A beautiful Christmas wreath made with the same 'ingredients'! I need to learn how to make colourful felt balls: I want a wreath and/or a rug like that too!
