Hot and Cold

There is now hot and cold running water in the kitchen. Well, it's not really running, but YOU know what I mean...



I gave up on the mini hinges for the sink cabinet. I used ribbon instead. If ANYONE ever mentions those nasty little things again, I won't speak to you for a long, long time!!!!

My little faucets turned out kinda cute. If you are good with clay, I know you could make them better. This is the best thing I've made from clay. I know that's not saying much, but for me, I'm happy. :D



I'm going to go work the kitchen tile floor for a while and watch NCIS. I like that show so much that I even watch the reruns.

I won the Ebay table I bid on. I will have to wait until I get it before I can actually finish the floor.

My Creatin' Contest Kit arrived today. I started adding up all of the things I'll need to buy $$$ and the things I can make myself. I found the perfect wallpaper for one of the rooms. :D



Hope you have a nice evening!

Making "Porcelain" Knobs

I thought I would try making some knobs for my kitchen faucet.

First I found a photo of some real porcelain knobs. VintagePlumbing.com has lots of them as well as other really cool old bathroom and kitchen fixtures.


So here we go. Anyone can roll out a snake with clay. Even me! LOL

I made some skinny snakes out of FIMO clay then cut a piece about 1/4" long. Then I cut another piece in half and added them to the sides. When they looked like a cross I added a teensy flattened ball to the center.


Then I popped them in the oven to bake. It took about 15 minutes at 275. I kept checking on them to be sure they didn't burn.


I only need two. Let's hope there will be two that match?

Tomorrow I'll show you how they turned out. Or maybe how they didn't turn out?

Sweet dreams!
