Happy Saturday Y'all!
I thought I'd share a few pics of my old "Farmer Kids"
set that I re-painted with my favorite lovely RED...
-sorry no before pics - just picture in your head old sun-faded black metal. They were a gift from my MIL, years ago. They are so cute! Each one has a "ring" hand to hold a clay pot, but the Boy's is broke :( so I had to set him behind the big pot of vincas. Plus his ring feet are all out of wack, so he needs help leaning on the flower pot.
I just love their faces! They remind me of the old Charlie Brown characters, especially the girl... a short haired Lucy?
I tried to get a good wide snap shot, but somehow their faces just won't show up good, unless you're up close.
By the way, can you spot my Craft Flop?
I'll give you a hint...
look in the first picture...
still no?
ok, here's a close up...
what is it?
A Spanish moss covered bunny...
Well, it's supposed to be a CUTE Spanish moss covered bunny...
it started out like this...
I thought I could improve on it by adding this...
but I just ended up with a big blob of an unrecognizable mass of moss... so I stashed it... in the plants... to help cover up a hole... oh well...the rest of it's cute though, right?

ReplyDeletethanks Jana! been meaning to re-do them for quite a while now and did a couple of weeks ago. Just now getting around to posting them. thanks for visiting! Hope your area is as sunny as ours is!
DeleteHow cute! And such a nice outdoor spot for relaxing.
ReplyDeleteHey Sara! It is, when we have a cool breeze a-blowin', otherwise we're swatting Georgia gnats and mosquitoes :) Thanks for coming over to chat! Love your SFP items.
ReplyDeleteI like your Farmer Kids, they are cute. I know what you mean about the rabbit, some things are better in my mind than they turn out when I try to make them, but maybe it looks better than you give credit for. Lol! This looks like a nice shady spot to get out of the hot sun this summer.
ReplyDeleteMary, I have a room full of "maybe I'd better not post that one" crafts flops :) I appreciate your visiting today!

DeleteI think I'm in love with you pallet bench! Your "camo" bunny is really hiding now with his mossy coverup. Such a nice shady spot!
ReplyDeleteTeehee!! yep I suppose he's even more covered now LOL! My son made the bench for me a few years ago for a HS project, which I failed to mention in my post. Believe me, I was SO happy when he brought it home! I appreciate your visit and comment!
