My kids didn't have school (president's day), but my friend picked up the baby vase. Unfortunately it didn't turned out so well - the glaze smudged the painting a bit. The big one was baked without glazing first to fix the paint. I didn't do that with the little one. This is the way one learns...
The background is photo-shopped. We don't have the kitchen yet and my living room is so messy it didn't look good on a photo.
