Last night my beloved chocolate cupcake says to me:
"Why is there clay all over my hair dryer????"
You would think the answer to that is OBVIOUS.
You see below some of the things I was finishing yesterday. A teapot on a teapot, and a pair of Irish coffee cups with elephants on the base. I was making these at Cornell and a young woman from China was chatting with me and trying to figure out what the heck I was doing.
"You know, they're for coffee of tea. Or very specifically, Irish coffee."
Blank look on her face (she reads this blog regularly, as a matter of fact)
"Irish coffee is coffee and whiskey. Maybe a little cream."
Blank and puzzled look.
"The Irish like whiskey."
Recognition dawns.

Gary the teapot w/teapot is SO CUTE!
I love it!
don't you know you need to clean the hair dryer after claying it. i heard couples have gotten divorced over this exact issue...i heard it on jerry springer.
The question is...does the spout on the little teapot pour correctly??? Inquiring minds want to know!
I LOVE the header picture!!!
OK, now that THAT'S out of the way... did you say whiskey? *eyes cup of coffee*
The Irish like whiskey? I think there's a post there all by itself... i like the little teapot on the big teapot.

That teapot is great!
Might I suggest buying Maude a new hairdryer and you keeping the clay-coated one? :-)
Well, actually, maybe I need to let her keep the old one (ahem) and I get a new one. Business tax write off or something....
Awww... I love the header picture. You look so proud. :)
And the teapot on the teapot is very cute!
Can I get your autograph Mr. Gore... that was a good one!
The teapot with the little teapot is absolutely adorable!!!
The header pictures just made me go "awwwwwww" when it came up on the screen. And those elephant buddy mugs would be great for Irish coffee. Who's got the whipped cream?
Guess I am a lil slow I am clueless why clay is on the dryer. :shrugs:
The teapot is cute!!
I was using the hair dryer in le studio to dry some things and hadn't cleaned it properly :)
The teapot teapot is too wonderful! And the engagement pic is perfect!!
"little teapot" is absolutely adorable! I love it! (And my family LOVES Irish Coffee - oh yeah)
I was all "awwwww" over the header pic, and then I saw that teapot with a teapot... in the words of Farmer*sWife, "SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
If whiskey is going in those coffee cups, maybe you should paint the elephants PINK
