Remember Sasquatch?

 Happy Friday everyone.  It's almost the weekend once again.  They say we will have some rain at my house  tomorrow/Saturday. The hubby isn't happy because he has some outside chores he is trying to finish up, but I've been in the opposite mode, so now maybe I can do some inside things. For those of you who stop by fairly regularly, I still haven't gotten back to cleaning my giant pile that I posted the other day 😫, but my art table sounds like an even better place to be on a wet Saturday. 😀

Today I have some photos to share for Nicole's Friday Face Off  and Gillena's Friday Smiles.

You might remember back in early September I showed you my husband's first art project.  Here's a link back to that post (Friday Face Off) in case you're interested, but let me refresh this post by sharing a couple of photos again.




Since then Mr. Sasquatch has  been painted and  urethaned.
 Painting was easy, but I think my husband was a little intimidated when he went to paint the face.



After the basic face was painted there were several minor changes. A line added.  A color switch  for the mouth. I wanted to do some blending with a paper towel but I was reminded this wasn't really my project. 

He did a great job. Maybe he has a new hobby for when he retires.

Now Mr. Sasquatch is guarding my yard from any wildlife that might wander into it. (Well, he isn't scaring the deer though, so I don't think anything would be afraid of him either. Smile.)




Here's the view from up near the house.  He's a fun addition to garden decor. ❤😀👍
 I'm really curious to see how he looks next summer when everything is really green, and there's more leaves than there are now. And I bet he'll be a yeti when he's covered in snow this winter.

That's all for me. Have a great start to your weekend, and thanks for stopping by my blog.

  5. Very, very cool! I hate snow, but I really do look forward seeing him as yeti!
    Hope he stays where he is - it would be too tempting to secretly put him against another tree ;-)
    Hugs, enjoy the Friday

  6. Oh very well done. He/she looks fantastic. There is one this big at a house on the back roads here in OR. They painted theirs all black and every time we pass it, it's almost disturbing. Then we have to laugh. I love the colors on yours. Thank you for sharing with FFO and for the well wishes for my foot. Have a great weekend.

  7. THAT is incredibly cool! I love that he's guarding the yard. Maybe he'll keep the bees safe in the winter. Well, one can hope! He did a terrific job.

  11. Yes, he did do great! I'm impressed! But I chuckled about you having to restrain from "fixing" the face. I have to do the same when mine does some art. I read y'all are gonna be wet. We've just come out from several days of rainy weather and I was never so glad to see the sunshine. Hope yours moves through quickly, XOX

  15. Had some trouble with blogger so hopefully you don't have 5 comments from me - lol.

    Love this project - he is talented! I want one.

    I miss visiting you and your blog, Erika. I haven't been feeling like doing much of anything for awhile, but they found out what was causing it so hopefully I can get back in the swing of things soon. Hugz

  18. A husband who likes to do outside work around the house when the weather is decent? You are a very lucky woman :)

  19. Very amusing garden decoration! I can't see a deer being scared by it though.

  20. Mr. Sasquatch looks great in his new "home" and I wonder how many people might be startled on coming across it. I also smiled when you offer to help with the face painting was rebuffed.

  21. Love your Sassy man. Well, hubbies. He made a darned good job of it but I am surprised he didn't want any help from you. I do hope he scares off something before long and then you can all be pleased but in the meantime enjoy him as a piece of garden sculpture.
    hugs, Neet xx
