Wendy, we took the cheeks off but I didn't keep the pig head - maybe it would have made a good mold for a mug :lol:

I got a chance to do a little work on my trailer and have almost finished up my Christmas present benches.

I cut a piece of 4 inch memory foam that fills the entire inside of my trailer for a bed and sewed a removable fleece cover for it (I hate sewing knits! And it has enough static electricity to power a small villiage, I hope it doesn't shock the bejesus out of me while I'm asleep!)

I made curtains from Dawn's fabric and started working on a matching border to go all the way around the inside of the trailer. In retrospect, I should have pained the border orange to start with and painted the brown (darker) over the orange (lighter).

The benches are ceramic decor embedded in concrete benches. The Hula Dancer and Mermaid benches are acid stained a blue/green color, it washed out in the picture. The Fall Leaves and Garden Gnomes are acid stained brown. (The legs for the blue/green benches are staining as the picture was taken)

Be good to yourself and to the ones you love
Life is short, smile while you still have your teeth.
