Happy January 2013!  I started out the year right with some arts and crafts.

Since I just moved and have had roommates for so long, I found that I had no plates or bowls to my name. Susan had an old set and had also read on Pinterest that if you Sharpie on them and bake them, they’re good to go. We had to do it.

Some of the Sharpie rubbed off after the first baking, so I’ve been baking them again at a higher temperature for a longer time. Some of the color faded (which actually helped Shanghai turn to her natural color of brown), and I haven’t tested them under water yet, but I am hopeful because making your own dishes is COOL.

Carry on and have a creative 2013!
