Let's Get Fired Up!!

Cassie, a friend of my daughter's who I have become friends with also, invited me to come along and paint pottery. I'd never done it before and not sure if I'll ever do it again, but I sure had fun!


The selection was almost overwhelming to me. I had no idea where to start. I needed something easy, that much I knew.


So many choices! And colors!!!


I took a peek at some finished products to get ideas.


This is our workspace before we got started... all clean and nice!


Then.... it changed! We got to work!



I picked my colors.


I found a cup I liked.


And I decided to paint hearts. I mean, how hard can hearts be??? I've been painting hearts since before kindergarden!



When I finish my coffee, I figured a little heart would be... you know... heartwarming!!


I need to perfect my writing, but I'll live with this.



All glazed and fired.


A daily morning reminder of how to live my life.


Mmmmmmmmmmmm.....




Thanks, Cassie!! xoxo

  4. Nice! I've never been to a paint your own pottery place before, but it looks like fun!
    It would be a fun place for a girl's birthday party, I bet, too.

  5. While we were sitting there an entire Brownie troop came in. Then whole back room was full of little girls and their parents painting away.

  8. My daughter took a bunch of us - bridesmaids, visitors, etc. - to do this just before her wedding. We had a blast, just like I imagine a quilting bee would be in the 'old day's'! I know she still has her spoon holder on her stove, but for the life of me I can't think what I made. It was ten yeasr ago, so I guess I can be forgiven! Love your cup!

  10. That does look like fun, although I cannot paint anything that isn't a single color rolled onto a wall. Did you get to bring your mug home the same day or does it take a few days for them to glaze and fire it?

  11. Kobico, I had to wait a week to pick up my project. It's fun to go back and see how everyone else's turned out too!

  12. I have always wanted to go to Fired Up, but haven't gotten a chance yet. Looks like fun... the quirky hearts are nice.

  13. Beautiful! I love your mug and all it stands for. I tried this once and my end product looked like something a three year-old might produce after eating a five pound bag of sugar. Yours is MUCH better!

  14. I have ALWAYS wanted to go to a hand painting pottery place and try my unsteady hand!! (even if they did mock them on Sex In The City)
    ;)

  15. I remember doing that a few years ago. I'm so not an artist, however.

  16. You've certainly got me fired up! I adore pottery. Love, love, love it.
