Just a Little Project

I had planned on sharing more about last week’s camping trip, but decided to show off my latest (and only recent) project. I’ve been so lazy since the end of May, that I really am proud of myself for finishing this.

We bought this guy at Menards on sale, probably nine years ago. Adorable, right?

He’d been starting to fade and show his age. And then last fall we didn’t get around to storing him in the garage over the winter. Whatever plaster he is made of does not apparently like the snow. 

Yikes! I feel like I could be arrested for cruelty to lawn ornaments just showing these pictures.

We brought him in the garage, and I started with two coats of primer.

Then lots of coats of lots of different colored paint.

And finally two coats of a gloss spray finish.

I hope he makes it another nine years. 

I’m not much of an artist, but I think I got him back to looking adorable.
