Dottery? Yes, Dottery!

It's polka-dot pottery and crafty mama Bethany of Bethany Actually is a master at it. She and her preschool daughter visit the pottery store often on weekends and paint dottery.
Now that the weather is chilly this is a perfect indoor activity. Dots are awesome because they are simply beautiful. And, you can even start making your Valentine's Day gifts now. Tell me a Grandma wouldn't LOVE a mug with her grandchild's fingerprints as artwork:

If you tackle one piece per weekend, by springtime, you could have your own play tea set.

One of the many reasons the internet is so awesome is because you can peek into people's lives and be inspired. For families, the weekend is especially fun as the structure and routine of the working and school week is replaced by fun family outings, activities and home organization projects.
