This is a recipe holder I cut from 1" pine. The legs are concrete nails and the tail is a finishing nail. I made these to give to my customers. They are easy to cut out and easy to paint. Have you ever had a day where it seem like nothing was going right? You make one mistake after another? I had one of those days yesterday. I broke an item I was working on; it happened so fast I'm not sure how I broke it. Then, I picked up the can of spray sealer to spray one of these sheep. It didn't have the top on it but it was a brand that I only buy the sealer in, not any other paint or primer. Well, a couple of weeks ago I bought some grey primer in that brand. You guessed it, what I thought was clear matte finish was grey primer. I quickly wet a rag to wipe it off but it was too late. I hurried into the garage and applied some paint remover to a rag and rubbed the primer with it. Hey, whatta ya know, it did the trick. Took that primer right off of there. I love happy endings. I expect today to be a better day. I hope you have a wonderful day too.

These are so cute and yes we all have those days and just have to grin and bare it.
Those sheep are adorable! What a simple idea. Thanks for sharing. And I can sooo relate to having a day like that....my whole weekend was like that!
Love your sheep Willa. I've done the grey primer instead of clear on a 4 foot custom order sign for a customer :( Marie wasn't happy! How are you feeling?
The sheep are just so darn cute!!! Great job.
God Bless friend,

Those shepp are wonderful! How clever!
Cute sheep. I know the customers love finding "a little something extra" in their packages.
Your sheep are so cute! When you have those
kind of days, you might as well go back
to bed and start over!

I just found your Blog and love your work! Will you be making any of the little sheep to sell? I also saw a oil can that I was wondering if you will be painting anymore of?
Wisteriagirl, I will be selling the sheep in my Etsy shop. I also have another oil can to paint (just found it over the weekend)and will be putting that in my Etsy shop as well. Thanks bunches for signing on to follow.
