Butterscotch

Once upon a time... there was a rocking horse, who had two enormous googly eyes.

And a little crack in his neck.... but that shouldn't be a big deal...

But, alas, it was a big deal.

Because his head fell off.

Then kind young lass fixed him, with some nasty smelling magic goo...

Once healed and fully restored, he needed a makeover.

This weird looking stuff is a steel wool and vinegar stain. It's cool! 

With some imagination, and paint, he began to look more like the dashing horse he ought to be.

Wood burned details - thanks Mom!

While attempting to fasten those floppy ears to stand upright, the nail cracked his head... 

Some sturdy glue fixed the ears and the crack.

He road off to a little shop on main street just yesterday. 

Where hopefully he'll find his happily ever after. 😊
