Where did you put the sugar?



I found these great glass containers at a discount store here in Cyprus and thought to paint them with the same pattern as the wine glasses.




I plan to use one for sugar and the other for tea.
They will look great on the shelf next to the bowls.

I live in Cyprus these days and I absolutely love the Cypriot pottery.  
Bright colors and unique designs - who wouldn't love it???



I bought this fantastic salad set - each bowl is just a bit different the the other. 
The set needed it's own glasses and so often we just have a Caesar salad - it made perfect sense.


It seemed to take forever to finish the glasses because of the fine outlining and details.
The time spent was so worth it!


I know - you are counting 5 glasses.
That's because I started with 5 - these were extra glasses that I had in my cabinet and I was too lazy to shop for new ones and honestly I didn't know if I would like the way they turned out.  
Usually, I can visualize the finished project but this time I was totally blocked.  
Then as they progressed I couldn't find a matching glass to the set. 
So what you see is what you get.
I guess I can only entertain five people...





The glasses really do add to the table.

Fun and Festive


I have to be inspired to work on a project.
A friend gave me a bottle of Tequila and the bottle was so cool.
But first we just had to empty it 
such a chore - really


I painted it the same colors as my margarita glasses
colorful and festive.


On one side I painted the Serpent Moon Goddess
just seemed to fit the bottle.


I plan to cut off the top eventually and use it as a vase.
it will make a great centerpiece.

Sweet Snowmen



I love to sit by the fire and enjoy a cup of steaming hot chocolate and a chocolate chip cookie.
This cup just makes it more special.


Snowmen with striped scarves and matching red hats seemed to fit my wintery night. 


Whimsical white, blue and silver snowflakes fall down the side of the cup.


My sweet snowman cheerfully holds bright Christmas lights ready for a bit of merriment.
