My Little Owl Guy

I kind of love ceramic animals.  I have a few birds, and now I have my lion.  And whenever I go to TJ Maxx or any store like that, that is the first thing I look for.  Something cute and cool.  And this week I found the best little owl there! He was darling but was white with strange bits of tan on him.  So I painted him "ivy leaf" and now just love him!


And since I've been sick and haven't had the time or energy to do any of the projects I've had in mind, this was just the mini project I needed.  And thanks to Asher's third nap yesterday I had the time to do it.  Also it was the perfect test run on the color since I was trying to find the perfect shade of green for my TV stand.  It is exactly what I had in mind.  Now I just need Asher to take a REALLY long nap and I'll get on it!

OH! I LOVE HIM! I love little ceramic guys too. . . so much character. Good vision to paint him - I love that color! Yay for painting your TV stand. I love mini projects too. . . they are enough to make you feel like you accomplished something when life is too busy to do anything big.

That is SO cute!!! I love that he's peeking his little eyes out. And your tv stand will be fabulous that color!!

I love your owl--and I really did see him "in the flesh"! And that little Asher Guy is so stinking adorable! Can't believe he's 7 months. Glad he's thriving on the bottle!
