We have moved to Kansas, our home state, but leaving Missouri was terribly sad and more work that I could have imagined.
We are now settled somewhat, and I am anxious to start blogging! Moving shows one what kind of refurbishing needs done,
like these snowmen, which my husband made over 25 years ago.

I brought them into my studio, which is a mess, and started to refurbish them. I repainted them first and then put a matte varnish on them. I love the old tree posts!
The snowmen are made with treated landscaping timbers, and they can be any height you choose.
The hat brim is made from a piece of 1 inch pine board cut into a circle with a hedge or oak tree post for the top.
The nose, a dowel rod, is sanded/ground to a point.
The base is a 2 x 6 inch base.
The bottom base and post are put together with a lag screw. The longer the post the longer the lag screw needs to be.
The top part of the hat, the tree post, is put on with a lag screw to the hat brim. The hat then is tacked on with nails. You can see one of the nails in the picture below.

I love the faces on the snowmen! They have been stenciled on with a template I made with my Cricut. The scarves are scraps of material from my stash.
