AfterThis fall our son and family moved into their dream home - a large house where grandsons have lots of room. Since the home was previously occupied by a family with girls, some changes were in order ASAP! Twelve year old Jed found himself in a bright comfortable room with one serious flaw - a wall mural featuring beautiful winged fairies! This gave me a chance to be a " nana-super-hero"...with a paintbrush! We are off to a fun start! Toy soldiers were used for our models and the transformation is underway! Jed helped paint the sandbags and requested the turtle be spared. We have not completed the mural but there are no visable fairies since remaining ones are temporarily hidden by furniture until we can continue the project in the spring.
Rosemary, good job! That must have been fun.....
ReplyDeleteyou are the hero!!! what fun, what memories and what a great mural... you get an big "atta girl"!!
ReplyDeleteMethinks I need you as MY nana, Rosemary! I have a headboard and footboard that I am just dying to have a small mural painted on! I love the touch of little boy and whimsy by leaving in the turtle.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo, cindi and Sherry! I love, love, love your comments! This was fun and makes a world of difference in Jed's room! The boys have had a pet turtle for many years and I suppose that's why Jed wanted to keep this one on the wall.
ReplyDeleteSherry, get busy and paint that mural on your head and foot boards! I promise you will enjoy it!
Great work Rosemary! Lucky boys.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good grandma, this came out great and I bet you had fun doing it. I love your splash piece, good luck with the competition. I laughed when I read how your husband posed for you, my husband is a good sport too. We're lucky. :)
ReplyDeleteLiz, thank you! I am a lucky grandma! I just wish we lived near them year-round!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you Barb! We are so fortunate having our grandsons to keep us busy painting them and their walls! And, what would we do without these husbands - we are indeed lucky!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like Splash!
