Christmas Dishes

Does anyone know what 4 months from today will be???  Christmas Day!! 

Can you believe that??  Well, I'm still  trying to get used to the idea that summer has once again, come and gone.  To be thinking about Christmas is really hard.  But it is coming and will be here in no time.  Hobby Lobby has had their Christmas decorations out for two months!! So regardless if I like it, the season is coming!

Recently, I painted  some Christmas dishes --- they were a wedding gift for my niece, Carly.    Carly had requested traditional dishes.  I jokingly asked, "Has she seen my work?"  I don't think traditional has ever described my painting.  So this project was going to be a challenge for me.  After much prayer,  I had an idea.  Well, it really wasn't mine, more like an answered prayer.  I would tell the Christmas story through Carly's dishes.  Each plate has a scene that corresponds to the scripture painted.  The verse is cited on the back of each plate.  Check out the finished product below.



These Christmas dishes are some of my favorite pieces I've made. 

 I also made Carly a dessert plate with a "K" on it that she could use with her Christmas dishes or any other occasion along with some red or black plates.  The salad plates are Christmas themed with ornaments and trees.  The dessert and salad plates nestle together nicely.

I'm also including some "non-traditional" Christmas dishes that I did last year.
