Father's Day Cereal Bowl

For his first Father's Day, I made Poke a cereal bowl especially for him, from 4L.  I also painted a mustache on his favorite mug.
Michael's had some ceramic paint on sale, so I went ahead and bought all the primary colors plus a few extras. I have many plans for this paint!
It's easy to use, if you are patient.  You can't just slop it on like acrylic paint - you must dab gently, otherwise you'll get streaks and lines instead of a smooth finish.
Paint, let dry overnight, paint again, let dry overnight, then bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees (or whatever your paint says to bake at for however long).
Yay! Custom-made wares!



 
 

 And now a photo of Poke enjoying cereal out of his awesome bowl:

Update on Indoor Gardening

The Cat Grass Died


The Carrots, Radishes, and Lettuce were a success... 
Until they withered a few weeks later thanks to random 30 degree weather at the end of April!
Now they're in the actual outdoor garden, clinging to dear life.  We shall see.





 Got this for free, it was ridiculous, and did not work.  Supposedly you keep the thing submerged in water and it will sprout - but nothing happened.  The paper got kinda moldy and it just sat there looking ugly.



Throwback to Elementary School

Day Two of Soakin' up the Dyes

After we dyed the Easter eggs, I had all this dye leftover, and I couldn't just throw it down the drain!
Step 1: Dye
Step 2: Celery
Step 3: Enjoy
















After one week, the celery is beautiful, but... Down the drain we go!
