They’re beautiful! You are so talented. What a lovely thread.

They’re fab! Love your updates @Sevensilverrings

Oh my god I NEED that nesting set of spoon holders.

When you set up your pottery shop after ALL THIS MADNESS, please post on MN as I would love to support you.

JWrecks · 27/01/2021 17:33

Ooooooh! I never thought I needed a teaspoon rest in my life, let alone a nesting set, but look at that!

Lovely set @Sevensilverrings !!

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 27/01/2021 17:17

Oh my! I now need these in my life!

Sevensilverrings · 27/01/2021 17:14

Brief update now ‘schools’ out for the day! Kiln load dry and going in tomorrow for bisque fire. Will be out, glazed, and back in by Sunday....hopefully! Here’s the other set, thanks to the PP who suggested nesting set!

Barmbraic, absolutely no apology needed! I’m just juggling everything same as everyone right now! I can’t wait to have the space to do some making properly again, but it’s going to be a while! Spoon rests have been a lovely distraction though!

Barmbraic · 19/01/2021 22:49

Sorry, Sevensilverrings, that was unfair of me. Flowers (the spoon holders are just gorgeous and I got carried away.)

polkadotpjs · 19/01/2021 21:06

@Sevensilverrings you are beyond lovely
If you did make several I'd love to buy one , it's just the thing I didn't know what to look for but need! This thread shows that most people are good and warms my slightly frozen heart ❤️

Love this thread!

Mumsnet at its best.

sparklefarts · 19/01/2021 20:43

Love this ❤️

Sevensilverrings · 19/01/2021 19:17

Barmbraic, I’m impressed and slightly struggling with your puppy eyes, but I really have such a list to work through right now I’m not taking orders. Homeschooling slows everything down.
Why don’t you tell me what your after, and then if I get to it I can let you know if it’s something I’ve got in stock? Is that fair? (Also, you might not like my stuff anyway)!

Barmbraic · 19/01/2021 18:06

@Sevensilverrings, so I know you say you aren't really selling at the moment, but would you consider commissions? Pretty please?

Ginkypig · 19/01/2021 17:27

Oh god I’m so jealous! I’d love a set of them for different spoons!

Lovely thread.

@onyourway

I came in here genuinely wondering how a request to spice a tea spoon rest could generate nearly 100 replies- and I'm so glad I did! What a heart warming, simple friendly thread!

Housing101 · 19/01/2021 16:16

This is brilliant. I am so looking forward to seeing the final piece!
And the moment the teaspoon gets the hug it's been waiting for

@PeaceLoveAndCandy

HEY!!!! I AM HERE!!!
I love this! Panic response that her tea spoon rests were going to be distributed to the vipers Grin

I love this thread and all of you in it!

Barmbraic · 19/01/2021 15:06

@Chambored

Not just teaspoon rest - tablespoon rest, for cooking etc... I’d buy one!
A little nest of 3 or 4 different sizes. I'd love that.
Sevensilverrings · 19/01/2021 14:58

I didn’t in any way come on to sell stuff, honest!
I’m not selling just now....and when I do it’s through local craft fairs and exhibitions, so I tend not to post stuff. Kids still quite little, but plan is to do this properly one day. I can dream.
More than happy to post to you OP, I will post the finished things here (it will take a while because they need about two weeks to make it through my kiln twice. You can choose what you want, and how many as I have no use for them...(we are not so kind to our spoons in this house, they go straight in the sink). Just do some of the crochet for the hospital you were talking about, that’s be more than enough, just nice to pass on some cheer in these tricky times!

ImAncient · 19/01/2021 14:04

@Sevensilverrings that’s so lovely of you. Do you sell any of your pottery? Would it be ok to put a link on here if you do?

TopBants · 19/01/2021 14:04

@Sevensilverrings Are you set up on Etsy? If so, I'd love to buy one of these because DH keeps leaving bloody tea stains all over the counter with the freaking spoon

It could be a proper Mumsnet thing. The Mumsnet teaspoon rest. Grin

Why does a teaspoon need a rest?

Because you can use them more than once. Put it on the rest, it dries out, and then you can use it again. Why make more washing-up?
