We had some birthday fun this weekend. My Uncle Joe and Aunt Molly, who I have blogged about a couple of times, are visiting us from Kuwait. We had a small birthday party for Molly at their new Bangalore apartment.
The birthday girl with my two younger brothers. Rayan and Alan are such cake piggies. 
I made a set of six coasters as a Birthday/ Housewarming gift. Five of them model here.
Each coaster is backed with fabric (wonderful Indian print fabric). This fabric is first backed with freezer paper. Well, I suppose “freezer paper” is the right term—it is hard fabric where one side is waxy and when ironed onto a fabric, both the fabrics fuse together. Dont forget to zig-zag both the fabrics after fusing them together (oh, I love talking sewing). Then handsew this new fabric onto the crocheted round.
