We spent the weekend up at Mom & Dad's in the mountains. It was lovely cold and sti
ll quite a bit of snow on the ground. Living in Southern California you get to miss the seasons quite a bit, so having a few days of actual winter is nice. We played a lot of cards, Rummy and Canasta. Martha wrote a bit about that the other day.

Love my mom, but we can get a little... well... we push each other's buttons sometimes. 
And because it is fun, and Hubby will do it with me. He picked a mug to paint too, his is blue and gold (go Chargers!!). He is a sport nut and not a craft nut, so I really appreicate him doing these silly things with me.
This is my mug. 
I really like how it turned out. The little seeds inside were so much harder than I thought, spent 20 minutes with a teeny-tiny brush just painting little black seeds. It is a fairly big cup, more for soup, or
maybe hot chocolate, since I don't drink coffee.

Wonderfully done, Laura Jayne. I understand about the little seeds; those are the parts of projects that tug at my patience ;o).
This is so impressive! I loved doing ceramics when my kids were younger, but not much time lately. You did a fabulous job. Those tedious seeds were worth it!
Wow! Your mug is absolutely beautiful!
I love your new mug!! Very well done! I really enjoy playing cards. Actually, my nephews just introduced me to Mancala.
