I have a love/hate relationship with deer.
When twenty of them are milling around the field in front of my picture windows with the snow covered Eagle Cap mountains rising up behind them, I’m totally in love.
But, when they are munching on my tomatoes, the love leaves quickly and Cooper’s pellet gun starts to look like a very good idea.
So instead of target practice, I asked that ruggedly handsome (and artistic) husband of mine to draw a deer head silhouette, grabbed a sweater and some plaid, and got right to work making a deer we can enjoy all the time and, I promise, it will never eat your garden.

Thanks so much!!!
Cute! Thanks for sharing the picture – what a talented pair! I think I might just add that to a tote bag to liven things up. 😀
This would be super cute on a tote bag. What a great idea! I’d love to see your bag when you’re finished!
Beautiful! Such a good idea!
Thank you, Hannah!
Pinned to my Easy DIY board! I once painted a deer on a lightweight sweater and it worked well. I used solid white fabric paint on a solid grey sweater. Would love to read your book!
Thanks for pinning, Debbie! I bet the solid white on the grey looked beautiful!!!
I really enjoy your refashion ideas! I pinned this project and would absolutely LOVE to have my very own copy! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!

Thanks for pinning, Janet!
Pinned it! So cute! Would be cute for a little boy, too. My nephews are little country boys.
Thanks so much for pinning, Jennifer! That’s so funny that you mention making it for your nephews because the other day when I wore it to school, one of my Kindergarten students had a sweater with a deer head print on it. Each looked quite different, his was knit right into the sweater and had a face on it, but we said we were twins for the day anyway. 🙂
I love this! So chic. Cannot believe it is a DIY
Thank you, it was such a fun and easy project to do. You could put any design on the front.
Another fabulous project! I pinned it: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/121386152432822189/
