I'm stepping away from the sewing machine for a sec to show you a little something I made for my girls.
It all started here, with Lala. I gave her a ceramic plate to paint, a plate for special treats and for her to use on her birthdays to come. So when she was done painting I thought it would be nice to add her hand print, name and age. It looked cute! After all she did paint it herself and her tiny little hand is forever captured on the plate, but like most of my projects, it just needs one more little thing...
Just like the portrait mugs I made as gifts last Christmas (post HERE), I thought it would be fun to add her face.
It's finished and it pleases me.
It pleased me so that I did one for the older girls. After seeing all three together and how precious they are to me, I'm having second thoughts of letting them use it. That's what everyday dinner plates are for, or better yet... Dixie paper plates, right?!

P.S., I got another portrait mug to show you... my first custom order! Yup, I'm thinkin' of taking orders, but we'll talk more later...
I am in love with these! You are really good Venus! WOW!!! And I'f not let them use them ever or maybe just birthday.
ReplyDeleteOh wow - they are beautiful. Great idea to do their portraits.
ReplyDeleteO, how brilliant! Yes, let them use paper plates -- these need to be hung up!
