A Bullion Stitch Coaster

This pretty coaster works up quick and easy for those who are comfortable with the bullion stitch. The stitch provides a nice padded surface for cups or mugs. You can also use this as a handy scrubber for your fruits and vegetables, or for the face. It’s soft, yet an effective scrubber due to the bullion stitch.

And in case you’re wondering about the green stuff in the cup, it’s called matcha tea. It’s a great alternative to coffee, but without the harmful side effects of caffeine. Matcha does contain caffeine, but in moderate amounts which makes it good for you. And it’s super rich in anti-oxidants that help to cleanse and replenish the brain cells. Matcha is expensive, but it’s been so good to me that I don’t mind the price anymore. If you get a chance to try it out please do.
