Teapot Tuesday - Lovely in Blue

Today’s teapot is one that I recently painted at Market 124. I absolutely love to go there and spend some time creating. I absolutely love to visit this store because there is always something new and fun. I have written a couple of posts about them so you know that I love to stop by anytime I am down town in Mason City.

This time I took JeniEats and DonnaHup.com along. Well—let me rephrase that. I took Jeni and Donna along but you know them by their blogs.

It was Donna’s birthday and I wanted to treat her to painting something and while I was there I had to do something to keep my own hands busy so I picked a teapot. Big surprise, right? This is what I came up with.

I picked some fun blues and went to work. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out once it was fired but wish I had made the yellow dots on the flowers a bit darker. Next time….

Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of toast and tea
T.S. Eliot

The Good Girl

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines

by John Green

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
