Sunday Selections #504

 Long, long ago, in days of yore...Kim of Frog ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections. 

A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please. 

Nothing rude or vulgar though.

The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I occasionally join in as do a few others. Drop in to Elephant's Child and have a look.

Off we go again >>>

I bought new hotplate covers, the old ones had started to rust around the edges and I was sick of looking at them anyway

I don't know how many of you will remember Garden Guardian Harley, my biggest garden gnome, he had a brown hat too and was getting very weathered out there, so I brought him in for a makeover, starting with a red hat

He is so badly worn some of his plaster has eroded away where the paint wore off, this is his left boot

I moved him into the back porch as the paint fumes were too strong to keep working inside, here he now has a lovely green vest

 "new" skin, a nice light tan,  light blue pants and a whiter beard

almost finished now with his new blue eyes, shiny black boots and belt, just a bit of gold to come on his belt buckle and some red buttons on his jacket, and those blades of "grass" between his legs need to be green.

this little fellow enjoyed watching the painting process

I also worked on this Halloween kit, bought at Woolies, meant for kids, but I'm a big kid so I got one

It comes with teeny tiny pots of paint and a brush

and here she is, finished, with touches of gold of course. I do like gold :)

a plastic skull with battery operated colour changing LED's now has a gold tooth

and Draco, another door stop, has a touch of gold too

Here's Meg,

A new seat? Just for me?

Thank you
