The more I grow up, the more I see resemblances with my mother.
As far back as I can remember, she has always loved table/kitchenware. Every Christmas or birthdays, I felt like it was the easy way out for her presents, and I didn't like it. For a long time I wondered why she was not asking for something else, something more fun, more pretty, more girly stuff etc.
It took me a while to understand her and realize that it does not matter if what I was giving her was the easy present: that's what she was asking for. And she genuinely meant it!
So, Mum, now I can finally say: I understand! My heart melts over a set of flowery delft, a wok, a silicone spoon, an oven dish or baking stuff. Merci Maman chérie ♥
But as much as I love flowers, colors and all of that, it's nice to have neutrality around us.
There is something classy about a black and white mug. When the black is deep and bold.
This little craft is inexpensive.
All you'll need is some mugs, a white board pen and a porcelain paint pen.
I personally went to Tesco, and bought two plain mugs for €1 (oh yeah!). But don't be afraid, open your press and see what can be customized, what could really do with a second life ;). I bought the porcelain pen in a craft shop, I'm pretty sure that you can find it pretty much anywhere.

With the white board marker, draw your pattern, following your creativity.
Once you're happy with the result, two choices:
- draw over with the porcelain pen
- erase approximately the marker and paint
Let it dry and bake following the instructions on the pen (90" at 160C for mine)
Tadam!
Reward yourself, have your favorite mug-in-a-cup or just a cup of tea!
Have a look at Madeline's, you will find lovely ideas there too. Talk to ye soon little monkeys!
