This hop was one that I did not rush with at all. I was ready way ahead of time.
Thank you soo much Madame Samm and Carol for coming up with this great theme and for all your hard work.
I made 3 different projects.
My first was well needed. I always keep a calander on my desk at my computer. I am one that loves being organized and also writing everything down. My calendar not only keeps Birthdays, Anniversaries, appointments, but things I want to accomplish that day. Also notes as to what I did accomplished that day. I needed to get a new holder, but we are 17 miles from our nearest store and I only go twice a month. Unfortunately, I keep forgetting. So I got this idea:
I made a pocket using black fabric, and placed a thin piece of cardboard inside. Not knowing, but it should have been a little heavier piece.
It is not perfect...but it sure works good for what I want it to do.
My second is a wall hanging:
(I always say to myself. Get your work done, then quilt. That way I can quilt as long as I want and not worry about getting other things done. Before, I had to wait till after 5:00, when I got home.)
My third and last is a mug rug.
I like to enjoy a good cup of coffee when drawing, or designing my next idea. (Coffee isn't bad but when I have a cold drink, it sweats.)
(I usually grab a few cookies too.
Chocolate of course)
I purchased this a week ago when I went to Jackson with my husband. I thought it was too cute to pass up. Plus I can use it as a pattern. :)
Now it is time to put my mug rug to use. I am going to pour myself a cup of coffee and see what others had made.
Come join me. Here is today's list:

What great projects, I especially love your wallhanging! Did you make the sewing machine pincushion, sew sweet. Thank you for sharing.
For a second there I was thinking "poor girl" No quilting till after 5---then took a better look at the clock hands! You got me. Cute entries, Jane!
Great projects, love the wall hanging!
Love your projects and your helper too!! The sewing machine is adorable

That journal is perfect. What a clever idea! The wallhanging is very sweet. No more watching the clock until it is time to quilt! The mug rug is perfect. It is always time for tea (well, for me anyway). Thank you for sharing!

Being retired - after 5 is every hour - cute. Love the idea for the calendar, noted. Thank you for sharing today.
You got a lot done for the hop. Lots of useful and fun projects!
Great projects Jane. Love the clock always at 5. Great idea! Your pin cushion is too cute!
Great group of projects; they're all wonderful!
Like your calendar idea...they are practical but always so boring looking. A mug rug is essential for that perpetual cup of coffee or tea, and cute clock idea!
Just wonderful Jane!! Love your 5 o'clock clock!!!!
Jane your 5 clock clock very cool..your mini quilts for your mugs, totally there with you ....rushed no way, i am so relaxed
Love what you have made, especially the mug rug, I like how the butterflies seem to be coming from the clock, great work.
Great job on your projects. And I love your pin cushion. Great find!
Pretty projects, great job :) Lovve those butterflies!
I love your calendar holder! That will certainly come in handy and keep things neat and organized!
Your mug rug and pin cushion are also perfect for your sewing room!!
That sewing machine pincushion is just too cute...love it! I like your kind of clock!
I love, love, love your wall hanging. It gives a new meaning to 5 o'clock somewhere. It's always 5 o'clock. Too cute. Sweet projects, Jane.
Very nice. I like the calendar mat. The mug rug is a great idea too.
Love your projects. The 5 o'clock clock is priceless! The butterfly cutouts on the mug rug are such a special touch.
What great projects you made! Your little mug rug is so cute.
These are so cute!!! What a SWEET JOB you did!!! And that pin cushion...adorable!
Thank you for sharing!!!
Can I also add... THAT WALL HANGING is ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON!!!!
Way to go! I loved these projects!
All the things you made are great....but I Love, love the after 5 ! Sew cute !
What fun. From your personal calendar to your quilting clock. (although I would probably reverse the order) no cleaning until after 5p, or maybe 9p cause I go to bed soon. hahahahaha Hey, I wanna come over for coffee and choco cookies too! :-)
The clock wallhanging is fantastic. I wish I could stop working after 5. The pincushion is fantastic. Love the sewing machine shape.
Wonderful pieces and the sewing machine pin cushion is so cute.
Oh, I love your calendar holder!! I used one on my desk when I was teaching!! I also really like the generous size of your mug rug - I need to make mine bigger!! (More cookies, you know!) That sewing machine is fabulous!! I can see why you just had to have it!!!
Darling, just darling! Love the Wall hanging and Mug Rug. Sew much detail, beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!
Huggs, Nancy
I really like all your patterns. And I think your helpers are gorgeous too. Glad you find time to sew, I need a clock like that. ;)
It is truly 5 between the numbers too; how fun. Like your wall hanging to check the clock. So many fun ideas on this Rush Hour Blog Hop! Kathleen ~ Lane Hill House lanehillhouse[at]centurylink[dot]net
Cute projects! Love the clock with all fives!
Very nice calendar pad and mug rug. LOVE the wall hanging with all the numbers a 5. Just too cute.
Awesome projects. I adore your calendar holder. I would love to make one for my desk at school. It is always 5:00 somewhere. Seems to me there was a song like that?? :)
Your 5 O Clock is perfect. The rest of your projects are darn cute. The mug rug makes for a great place to start the day.
How clever of you to make your calendar desk pad. I am like you about having that calendar handy. Thanks for the idea.

I smiled when I looked closer and realized that every number on your clock was a 5. Cute. I like to sew in the morning because that is when I am the most creative and fresh. Have a wonderful day. Janita
Hi!!! Wow!!! I love your calendar holder!!! Great idea!!! Your mug rug and wall hanging are adorable too!!!!
Hi Jane! You win the prize for thinking outside the box! The calendar cover has gotten me thinking! Your mug rug, though, is so creative! The butterflies leaving the face of the clock....wow! Thanks for your post!
