Quite a few years ago, my eldest son
(with a wee bit of help from my carpenter husband)
made me a lovely bench for Christmas.
He left it unfinished so I could
paint it to match where ever I
wanted to use it...so sweet.
It's a beautiful bench, buttery smooth
and I debated whether to just leave it
as is.
Then I was inspired...

by a Keith Urban song,
It was a #1 hit back in 2001
but it's one of my favorites
from him.
I originally used my Cricut to
cut out a stencil but had major
issues with placement and paint
getting underneath it...what a mess.
So I pretty much free-handed it.
Sketching the letters with pencil,
painting with acrylic then using a
sharpie marker to even out where
my hand was unsteady. whew!
Determination always succeeds!
Hope you're having a great day.
Blessings!

Oh, my goodness! You have some talented family members, Maria! That bench is beautiful! When you said "buttery"... that's just what I was thinking because it looks so smooth and so utterly perfect. I absolutely love it! And love Your beautiful verse, too. The stenciling looks perfect. Cannot believe you did that free hand! Wow!
