Sheep+Mug=Cuteness!

Last weekend was my friend Genia's birthday. One of the things that we did was visit a "paint your own pottery" place. You know, you show up, study the wall of ceramic items, finally choose one. Then you study the wall of paint, for what seems like forever. Then you have to actually paint said item. This can take a really long time if you aren't careful. But I loved it! It was totally fun and relaxing. The best part though, is that I love how my sheepy mug turned out!

Here is a picture of the inside of the cup...pink of course! I'm seriously contemplating making a whole set of these mugs in different colors. Wouldn't that be so fun?! Have a great weekend everyone! I'm headed to a show opening of Denyse Schmidt's quilts tonight. It should be a nice change from the normal Friday night knitting. I'm hoping that they let me take pictures!

I heart that mug!!! My favorite color is lime green! Oh, how I wish I could draw a sheep! Yes, make a whole buncha mugs...then you won't be heartbroken when I ask for this one.

I'm impressed at how neat your sheep are: even though it looks easy to do, pottery painting is surprisingly hard.

What a darling mug. I also love the mod-on-mod backdrop!

I love it! I tried the paint your own pottery thing for the first time last year, and it is a lot of fun. You're right, very relaxing.

I am lusting after your mug! Make more for sure, and give them to everyone!

Adorable mug! Definitely make more because that is way too cute!

Mom and I once went to one of those places and made the mistake of taking along the 5 year old brother who was all done after 25 minutes and ready to go home. The next time we went it was just the two of us.

I'm all about the cotton suddenly! Who'd a thunk! I love the mod-on-mod! How have I not heard of this before?!

Bloglines sucks! I never saw this post update until I was looking at your post for today, so weird. If I had, I would have already known that you weren't knitting last weekend, oh well. I hope that Genia had a good birthday. Did she enjoy all of your gifts? ;-) That mug is way cute!

Love the mug! My husband and I did a bowl on a vacation to Martha's Vineyard and it is the exact same color as your mug. Great knitting minds think alike. :)
