All my previous HM posts were either about crocheted or knitted articles. Today, I am in the mood for something else. How about decorative birdhouses?
I inherited these birdhouses from the previous homeowners. For almost two years, they were just sitting in a corner of my garden. At some point I even wanted to throw them away as their shabby appearance wasn’t very attractive. But then I decided to give them another chance to life by repainting them.
I went to my brother’s place, who recently bought a house and now is remodeling it. He kindly let me use any of the paint from his garage. I felt the excitement of a little kid who was given her first paints. Even though I didn’t do a very good job, I enjoyed the experience a lot.
Now the birdhouses are back in my garden. They will be a part of a bigger project that I’m working on (I hope to blog about it in the future).
Moreover, I decided to use these birdhouses for Handmade Monday sign.
Thank you for participating in Handmade Monday or just stopping by. If you are linking for the first time, the guidelines are here. Have a great week!

Hello Olga - the birdhouses you painted are wonderful. Thanks for being a faithful visitor to my blog. I appreciate it. I've been working on a quilted table center today but it's not quite finished. I think it's great that you're encouraging people to post their home made creations. Sunshine Always - Sheila
