No horsing around here

I almost passed this up...I was dropping off some bags of clothes at Goodwill
and thought I should drop in for a quick glance


It looks like it was handmade for "Heidi"
a solid rocking horse, no batteries, no plastic,
just a wooden rocking horse!


Cute paint job - if it was still the 1980's!


Now this is what I had envisioned...when I first saw her~


I sanded off all the old paint
and then two cans of spray paint later...
She's a beautiful white rocking horse!


I made the tail out of yarn from Michael's


Used my Cricut Expression to cut out the flowers
and my granddaughters name


I'm so happy I didn't pass this one up!

  5. Hey, beautiful horse! I am just doing this over the weekend to a similar horse... aqua spray paint, white yarn tail, leaving the mane alone. Great minds!
