Horsey finished the race!!

Just a quickie to show you the finished result of my silliness - they say the older we get the sillier we get and I think that I am living proof of this, LOL


This is Horsey as I bought him..............................




And this is Horsey mid-race - notice the gender is beginning to change.............................


And here SHE is in all her glory (as I was working on IT, it became obvious that HE was no longer a HE).  I present to you, Princess Gee Gee............................










Who can resist those big, beautiful eyes.  This is how it all came together:
Horse from Queen's Cupboard
Cream Paint
Hair pieces from Dollar Store
Hair Clip from Dollar Store
Googly Eyes from Dollar Store
False Eyelashes from Dollar Store
Jute String from Dollar Store

Where would I be without the good old Dollar Store?  If I like the Dollar Store, imagine how I will feel when Michaels opens up here.  Can't wait.  So, there she is, Princess Gee Gee.  Looks like she needs a little playmate but for now she sits quietly in my living room.  'Til next time.

  36. Hi Chris, thanks for coming by and I have to say thanks for following me. I have done the same for you. I really like your blog. I love what you did for horsey. She's so cute! I found one by the side of the road but it was rotted and falling apart, so she has taken up residence in my garden. She peeks out from behind a bush. I'll need to show her sometime. Visit me often and I will do the same. Happy Valentine's Day!

  72. HOW CUTE!!
    I had to chuckle when I first saw Gee Gee's "after" picture. And, okay, then I admit that I wished I were smaller so I could rock on her while watching Mr. Rogers. Took me back to my childhood! ;)
    SO nice to meet you and of course, I'd love to stay and be your new friend so I can read about more of your adventures!
    HUGS and blessings to you as you make your home!

  81. Muchas gracias, Chris por tu visita a mi blog, por tus palabras y por darme la oportunidad de conocerte.
    Me encantas, eres una mujer muy vital, positiva y alegre y eso me gusta, contagiarme de esa energía. Tienes un blog de lo mas variado, divertido y con unos trabajos increibles, este caballito demuestra tu creatividad y las vitrinas estan geniales, de cine.
    Yo tambien tengo un pequeño nieto de 8 meses que me tiene muy ocupada y por ello tengo el blog un poco descuidado, en cuanto vaya a la guardería tendré mas tiempo, tu sabes que aqui en España hasta que no tienen un tiempo las abuelas cuidan de sus nietos y yo estoy encantada reviviendo nuevamente la infancia de mis tres hijas.
    Me ha encantado conocerte y tambien me hago tu seguidora.
    Besitos desde Tenerife.
