One day, I was out 'junkin' and I came across this brown owl. I've never really been a fan of owls....not sure why. However, owls are really popular right now. Kind-of trendy. I even bought a few snow owls for my Christmas tree this past Christmas. Anyway, I decided to take him home and give him a make-over. This is the BEFORE...
This is after I gave him a coat of white paint. I didn't know that I would have to bake him in the oven to 'set' the paint until after I painted him. This is after he came out of the oven. He looks so much better!
BEFORE.....
BEFORE.....
And AFTER.....What do you think? Now he is 'shabby chic'. A cheap make-over. He cost $3.00 and the paint was $2.00. I posted him on facebook and my daughter claimed him. lol Smile on my daughter's face....priceless.
This is my project for March. My new king-size headboard. I am so excited to get this one done. I started it a few days ago. It's gonna be so pretty!

PS. I love, love that Fernando Ortega song Give Me Jesus! Karl, my husband, plays that a lot on our stereo here!
Wait a minute, I did not know you could set paint on ceramic by baking it! I have kind of shied away from painting ceramic because the paint did not stick well....Do tell us more about that! The headboard will be great...Hope you have a big oven LOL! I love the owl, anything white. Sorry you could not find the follow gadget, it is on the left side half way down....Of course you know blogger, sometimes it disappears!

Hi Lee Laurie,

Take good care and blessings to you and your hubby.

Hey sweet girl! I wonder why you haven't been able to see my blog! Blogger can be weird, so it's probably something to do with them. I hope that's not happening to other readers! :-o
My tea towels are so pretty..I love them! I really loved the story with my hubby, I love it when God speaks to us like that! :)
Your owl turned out great...so funny your daughter claimed him! lol I can't wait to see how your headboard turns out..I bet it's gonna be great! My window seat is really coming along too...did you see any of my posts on it? I'll be doing another one in a day or so...it's getting there! I have a TON of sewing to do, but it's gonna be slow going, I have a lot of other things going on around here right now too. Oh well..it'll get there eventually! :)
I'm so glad you can see my blog again...I would miss you if I didn't see your face! :)
Hugs
