My Man Dan

This is a bragging post about my husband's awesome talents. These are some of the perks of being married to a ceramics teacher. I asked Dan to make me a decorative plate to put up in the kitchen. I actually want two. I got the idea from a plate I saw at Bed Bath and Beyond. Here is the one from Bed Bath and Beyond.

And here is Dan's variation. Isn't it cool? I love it.

I'm going to hang the plate holder here in the corner by the curtain. I think the second one will be green. You can actually see the plate holder on the floor, just waiting to be hung up. :)

Here is a cute little jug/pitcher that Dan made me for Christmas.

Here's another pitcher.

And another...

I've posted these before, but why not again!

Here is a utensil holder Dan made for me a year ago.

And a fruit bowl, which I absolutely love. It's actually black, but the flash makes it look brown. I was at Goodwill a week ago and actually got some fake fruit for $2 to put in my fruit bowl. If I put real fruit in it, I forget about it and it goes bad. It's on the table and I just don't think about/see it. Also, if it's empty, it becomes a holding place for junk and stuff I don't know what to do with at the moment. If there's fruit in it, I can't put stuff that doesn't belong in there! I'm a genius, I know! :)

I can't wait till the second plate is ready. Dan is going to start on that this week. He wanted to make the first one, just to see how it would turn out before he started on the second one. I love how talented he is and how nice he is for making me stuff I want. :)
