The Happy Sunshine Cup Cozy was born from two inspirations at that time in my life. The first was when my cousin visited us for a few days. During that time, she wanted to learn more crochet stitches, and I taught her to make a cup cozy. From that visit, I was encouraged to design another new cozy for my blog to share with readers.
After my cousin’s visit, they sent flowers as a thank-you for the wonderful time we shared. The flowers were placed in a happy face cup, which reminded me of my mom. She loved happy faces!
The flowers, and especially the “vase,” were reminders of those I love and the memories shared. After designing the cup cozy, I thought it appropriate to take pictures with the Happy Face vase in the background.
A few years later, my cousin passed, and this image means more to me today. It reminds me of those I love, of memories that can never be taken away, and to cherish those we love, right here, in the here and now.
I hope you enjoy crocheting this cozy and that it will bring many wonderful memories and a cozy you’ll reach for time and again. Happy crocheting!
