Rachel and I picked out cute little cupcakes to paint, my mom free handed her monogram on a flat tile and Jon picked out an adorable little cat bank to work on. We spent most of the night freaking out that we weren't going to be able to finish our painting before the store closed, but we all finished in time with minutes to spare.
We only had to wait a week until our projects were fired and ready...here's the after photos:
my cupcake dish
Rachel's cupcake plate (she didn't want her face in the picture)
Jon's kitty bank (modeled after our original kitty, Nuku Nuku, shown in the background). With Jon's new cat bank, we finally have come to the point where it's no longer acceptable for us to bring any new cat figurines into our house. The count right now is at 4 and any more would make us labeled as crazy cat figurine collectors.**
*we didn't realize it was ladies night before dropping into the place...thank goodness Jon is a good sport.
**the label crazy cat people is fine with us
i love your cupcake dish. so cute.
ReplyDeleteI went to a paint your own pottery place, on vacation once. Andy and I each painted a dinner plate, so that we would have fun dinner plates. We still bring them out and use them from time to time, it was such a relaxing time, I'd like to do it again. Love all of your pieces, and I love how fat that cat bank is!
ReplyDeleteI am more of a crazy dog person, but I love that kitty bank... :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I'd have to drag my husband to that kicking and screaming, so kudos to Jon for going with you guys! And I don't fancy the diaper / crazy baby talk either. Blech.
ReplyDeleteThat fat kitty bank is cute, your boy has some skillz! And of course, cupcakes are fun too :)
ReplyDeleteadorable cupcake... but i think that kitty bank is hilarious! love it! well done jon!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the ceramics! That little cupcake is too cute!
ReplyDeleteROFL - I can relate to Jon's discomfort - been through it but I'd rather not talk about it! LOVE the cupcakes and the bank, great job. I had to stop people from getting me cat stuff....call me a crazy cat lady, that's fine, but don't get me cat stuff!
