Thanks. (Blush). It’s strange sharing this sort of thing online, but it’s been fun, and a lovely distraction from the other less simple things in life right now!

Oh wow @Sevensilverrings - they look gorgeous, you’re so talented.

They are nicer than the original one, plus they carry a beautiful story with them.

@PeaceLoveAndCandy, Kiln had been emptied, so here’s the results. The glass has made the glaze a little darker than I’d hoped, but nothing broken, which is always good!
I don’t know if you’d prefer the set of three or a couple of the other ones that fit together but not as snuggly? Let me know and I’ll pop them in the post for you! Thanks for giving me a fun distraction!

Thanks for the update silverrings, I'll check on Monday.

FlatteredRhubardFool · 06/02/2021 09:42

Never heard of these but I now want a metallic red spoon rest set!

peridito · 06/02/2021 09:19

Buster now I know where my partner has been when he's out on his long walks .Drinking coffee at yours!

Maybe a couple of these to solve the donning rubber gloves issue ?

After an upsetting night, this lovely thread has soothed my soul.

Which is my clumsy way of placemarking.

That nest of rests really is lovely, even in its naked form Smile

Ifailed · 06/02/2021 08:13

I can't help wondering if a teaspoon needs a rest, then surely the teaspoon's rest needs it's own rest?

Sevensilverrings · 06/02/2021 08:05

Jelly, your looking at Sunday evening for the kiln to be done again and cold..possibly Monday morning if I get caught up with other things.please don’t check back every hour! (It’s going to be a bit of an anticlimax I fear)!

BusterGonad · 06/02/2021 02:21

I love this thread. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't use a teaspoon rest. My husband leaves teaspoons everywhere. Leaving horrible sugary coffee stains all over the kitchen, I then have to put the washing up gloves on (allergic to detergent) just to wipe them off. Or he chucks the teaspoon in the sink and we run out. Don't even get me started on the way he chucks coffee in the sink and doesn't rinse it....

TheRealMrsJamieFraser · 06/02/2021 00:54

@Sevensilverrings I wish had an ounce of your creativity- those nesting rests are a thing of beauty that I now need Grin

JellyMouldJnr · 05/02/2021 21:01

I've been checking back every hour! I want to see the finished teaspoon rest!

peridito · 05/02/2021 20:13

but cheese we want the dish to give the teaspoon a hug .

so they need to be smaller .

Tequilasun · 05/02/2021 08:44

I really need a nest of rests and I never knew. Waiting and watching for the talented sevensilverrings to show her finished pics.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 05/02/2021 08:25

What a lovely thread. Waiting for the finished pics. Also now feeling a need for nesting spoon rests.
