How cute!! What did you use to outline his mouth? I've done a couple but used stained glass mosaics & the half round gems....but never thought of doing faces on them & place into a'scenario'. Very very clever!

Kathy, You gave me a great idea--can't wait to show you! It's funny, my dad was an artist but I can't draw a straight line, even with a ruler. I painted an old cardboard barrel the kids gave me, traced the image onto it and went over the traced image with a sharpie. I am always Goggling for images to trace. I can' remember where I found the image for this idea, but the sign originally said something about the Wee Haggis. I did some editing and inserted the can of soda.

You're so lucky to have a place to call your own! It's just gorgeous! I've got my sewing machine down in the basement, I do my painting in the kitchen(DH can never sit at the kitchen table to eat his cornflakes!), and woodworking in the garage(we can still park the cars in there...so far!). You did a great job decorating it and it must be easy to be creative in there!
