This all started when I was sitting down at my dad's (who is 84) and realized how much cleaning really had to be done! So two days later Igot my family involved in repainting the whole house and putting new flooring down. Blinds and curtains replaced and old pictures taken down. Done!!! now since I had taken some things off the wall that were falling apart I had to put some things up! I went and made a fish wall hanging!
My dad was a avid fisherman and hunter so this fits his new decor nicely

How wonderful to do this for your dad! I'm sure he appreciates this plus having his house spruced up!

Love it - both how you took charge of tidying your fathers house and the decoration contribution. I'm sure he's very grateful.

Did you use a pattern or just wing it? It's really got a lot of charm.

lol.
I'm going to go for the tooth pull... do you know what pattern it was or where we can find it? I bet there will be several people wanting to know. It's really cool. I'm already envisioning it with bright colored fish for my parents' island home ;)
