the DH has been busy!he's been cleaning in the garage, rearranging the stuff on the shelf, sorting tools, clearing the workbench
he discovered this piece
a friend of mine gave me this cutie many years ago, but in the moving and all, both of his antlers and one ear had been damaged (sorry folks, no "before" pictures here -- the DH just went to work on it before I knew what was happening!)
anyway, he removed the ears (which had been held on with what looked like pieces of coat hanger wire), did glue and dowel reattaching of the ears
then he drilled out the stubs of the old antlers and went out into our back yard to get new antlers off the tree out there
the next step is to get a new post for it, then I can reattach the bell that goes under the chin with some new ribbon
this one will get put in the little area right outside the front door when we do the Christmas decorating
and there is this project
this is designed to have fabric ears that are changed for each season or holiday
the bare wood piece had been sitting in the garage for a long time, and the last time our daughter came to visit she saw it and ask if she could have it
the piece has been sanded and stained
now I get to do many, many sets of ears to customize it
this should be a lot of fun!
yup, we're actually getting some things done
