July TUSAL post and Coffee!

I'm so close but not finished yet with Let's Do Coffee!  I still have to backstitch the coffee beans in the handle, then stitch two more rows of words in the saucer.
Let's Do Coffee update #4
I'm SURE I can finish this today after work. I already have a frame ready to pop it in, then I'll wrap it up, pack it in a box, and mail it tomorrow to my friend for her birthday!

It's time for the Totally Useless Stitch-a-Long again!  Share a picture of your ORT (old ratty threads) jar. Read all about the TUSAL HERE.  Check in on Daffycat's blog with a link to your July TUSAL blog post, too!
TUSAL 2013 #7
I took the picture outside by this big flower bush with clusters of little berries.  It grows like a weed and I don't even know what it's called!  It's about 5 feet high now.  Can anyone identify it?

CORRECTION: Thanks to AnaCristina, now I know this is Lantana!

I luv this coffee pattern. It is so cute. I may just have to get it for myself.

Whatever that flower bush is, it is pretty. :-)

I've been thinking this whole time that you were going to drill holes in actual coffee beans to make the handle, lol. It's looking great, and congratuations on finishing a stitchy gift on time (I've never heard of such a thing!)
