Little Quirky Houses

I saw this adorable bag over on my FaceBook page
and it reminded me of the time, several years ago,
I went with a bunch of girlfriends to a place called
THE CLAY CAFE...

Do you have one in your town..?
I had so much fun.

You choose a piece of pottery,
choose a pattern...
choose your paints...
and create a MASTERPIECE. 


....only trouble is....
I CAN'T PAINT  !!
 the only thing that kept this little dish from being super ugly
are the black dots all around... 


I just fell in love with the quirky little houses...

and they surely weren't the EASIEST  
things I could have chosen...

they were HARD to paint...














...but, we had the BEST time..
and I want to do it again, sometime.


Every time I see this little plate,
I remember the fun time we had together..
and that's A GOOD THING.


Yep....
they do remind me of ea other.

I may just go back over to FB and see where to order this cutie bag.

    I can't paint either. I have heard that it is easier to paint on china as you can easily wipe it off.

    So cute! Ummm I think they stole your design.
    I have never been to a pottery place like this but it would be something id love to do.
    Id also like to try a pottery wheel!

    Good Morning Sweetpea!

    I see we have another taste in commmon---those charming little wonky houses with the impossible roofs and catty-wampus windows and doors. Wouldn't you like to know the lives and moments of all the wee beings who create and live in such sweet little dwellings?

    I'm invited to our ten-year-old GRAND'S Pottery party next weekend, and now I know exactly what I'll choose to paint. (that being a relative and somewhat misleading term---I daub and squiggle and blot, making more mess than a three-year-old with a whole arsenal of finger-paint). I'll think of you when I'm giving it a try.

    Despite your protest, I think the houses are adorable. Think how cute it would be to do a teacup or mug to match with pieces that would go with the houses. The colors are so unique too! I think you could do a whole line of cute based on those houses.

    Well, that cute little plate looks good to me. I can't either BJ. One time some of us ladies at church done the painting on Canvas was for a while was pretty popular. May still be. Anyway, I thought I was doing fairly good.When I got home that night I was eager to show my husband my little painting I had done and he looked at it and smiled and then he said, "Baby, that would really look good in the grandbabies play room". He tried so hard to be nice. Well, that was a couple of years ago and it's still in the grands play room. LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy

    Love the little houses on the bag and the plate. Lots of little houses appearing on quilts and things these days. Are we all longing for home?

    Howdy there my sweet friend, and that sure is a cute pocketbook---did you buy one?? I like the pretty plate too---I have no artistic bones in my body....can't draw or paint and they would surely throw ME OUT OF any crafty place such as that, or anything remotely to do with ceramics or painting or such---I would have that stuff flying all over the ceiling and the walls and the windows--SPLAT! SPLAT!--...it would be one big gyspy-MESS........HA HA HA lol So I think you did great, and your plate sure turned out pretty and I love the little houses on it.

    I think that your plate is super charming, I love it! It has character and as an artist myself, I think that perfection is overrated. :) I say if it makes you smile, go paint again!

    What a darling plate and I so love the memories it holds. We don't have one of those places here but when I lived on the coast a life time ago, there was a little ceramic shop where we could paint our stuff. Hoe you have gotten that bag, you need that bag!!

    Cute bag. You china painting is adorable. It looks better than the piece I did. China painting is difficult. Thanks for sharing. I'm praying for our dear friends on the coast.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
