But I don't do cute!

I'm usually not one to be seduced by cute stuff, but this lovely little table mat caught my eye.

It's a free pattern by Marcie on this site and she has several with a Christmas theme which she is sharing. It's only 9.5 inches square, so perfect for protecting surfaces when people need to put down drinks and plates over the festive season. Maybe I'll make another as a present for my Mum!
