I meant to put up one (1) picture and the picture wizard went crazy and put them all up!  <\/p>\n

TA DA!!!<\/p>\n

This is what I did this afternoon-  the mugs down at the house in Chincoteague (The Sailors Rest) are HUGE!  Even bigger than the mug I have in the picture immediately above with the red knitted cup cozy around it!   So large that your coffee gets cold- you go into diabetic shock from the amount of hot chocolate- and the tea in the cup ends up being iced tea rather than hot.<\/p>\n

So- I saw the smaller mugs on sale for $.50 each and I bought them.  <\/p>\n

The problem with that is that I had a small vision when I looked at them in the store.  I saw them with a small anchor logo and the name of the house on them.<\/p>\n

And I heard Jean-Luc Picard’s voice in my head saying, “Make it so.”<\/em><\/p>\n

OK<\/em>– I didn’t have any Star Trek voices in my head, but I really did flash on the logo thing and it seemed like I should do it.<\/p>\n

So I got out my ceramic paints and did it.<\/p>\n

They have to cure for 24 hours and then I will bake the logo onto the cups.<\/p>\n

I am so glad I only bought a dozen.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the cup cozy?  I knitted it in wool and felted it.  <\/em><\/p>\n

I’m thinking Christmas presents with a package of  Heidi’s Homemade Gourmet Hot Chocolate and a HUGE mug with a personalized touch painted on it, and of course a felted wool teacup cozy.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
