and his name is...RED~

Is it FRIDAY already?? I know you can't see me but i'm dancing in my chair right now! hehe!! The hubmiester always gets a chuckle out of me being so happy that it is friday. HE says that everyday is friday for me {since i'm a SAHM}. I say but darlin...friday means family time to me. :)

I have a few things that i'm working on right now i found a fabric that i have TONS of and well i have a few ideas for it! :P Super cute stuff!

Today i want to show you something that i just got the hubby to help finish up for me. I'm sorry i don't have a before photo. I did have one but we had a little virus pop up on my computer not to long ago and so the before pic is long gone. BUT i do have an after picture. :)
We were givin this cute {but in need of a little help} rocking horse. IT is an antique...and i loved it as soon as i saw it. The paint was very worn and a funny shade of red. I immediately wanted to paint it brown so that it would look oh so cute in my daughters room. So the hubby took it apart for me to sand down and repaint. I had purchased a chocolate brown paint and was going to put a pink rope on it. So i sanded...and when i went to apply the paint....the brown didn't speak to me. At this point i found out i was pregnant again with my son. AND then we started a house hunt. Project officially abandoned! So there he laid for months on end this UGLY shade of brown and dismembered. A few weeks ago as i was picking out a few cans of spray paint and i saw this.....





It is called Cardinal Red. I knew right then what i was going to use this on. So i came home grabbed Mr. Rockin Horse and headed outside. With the first spray of red...i was in love. Perfect!! And what was even more perfect was that the ugly brown turned wonderful under the coat of red. I lightly sprayed the edges and some of the brown was showing through. I love it, I love it! Now i had to talk the hubby into putting him back together again. He went into the DREADED GARAGE OF ENDLESS PROJECTS...PROJECTS...projects....{can you hear the echo??} HA!! And came up with the horse in hand....the kids went wild. The smile on my little girls face was priceless! She was so very excited about this new toy. And it is a great new addition to our living room. :)

He still needs a tail and a rope to hold on to but i can do that later. :)

I'm off to enjoy this beautiful day the Lord has blessed us with. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
