DIY Coffee Mugs

So I have a lot to catch you up on which I will do later tonight when it's acceptable to do so with a bottle of wine.  But right now it's 10 am and I don't think work would appreciate me drinking a bottle of wine before I come in, even if it is my birthday!

A few months ago I met my amazing boyfriend and he started bringing out feelings of domesticity (perhaps that is my own word), that I have never felt before.  He had me wanting to be all responsible and shit, like cleaning out my fridge and making room in my closet by getting rid of things I haven't worn in a year (that was hard)!  I actually always had a back up paper towel roll on hand and even toilet paper (jk, er kinda).

This was when I realized that here I was actually thinking that this might be the one and I didn't even have a matching coffee mug to my name.  So that was when I decided that it was time to change a few things and I went out and bought some matching monogram coasters and four matching coffee mugs.  But c'mon, who am I kidding, I can't entirely grow up.  Hence my brand new DIY mustache coffee mugs.  Yes, I have a secret obsession with mustaches!

And these were super easy to make too!  I went and bought some dollar store coffee mugs ($1.00 each at dollar general).  Then I came home and drew on some mustaches.  I baked them at 350 degrees for 30 minutes in the oven.  Let them sit in the oven with it cracked and turned off to let them cool slowly so they don't crack.  And then hello beautiful DIY mugs.  I loved these so much I think I'm going to play around with more mugs soon.  Just a tip, they are microwave and dishwasher safe, but if you put them in the dishwasher the sharpie will come off slightly so wash them by hand.  I just want to point out that this was my amazing boyfriend's mistake and so now he gets to drink out of the cup that looks as if the mustache is just getting a few gray hairs.  This is his punishment.  A reminder every morning that despite how old I'm getting, he'll always be older :)
