When my last kid was young I saw these Snoopy's somewhere and made a whole bunch of them for Christmas decorations. I lined them up across the front yard and strung lights across in their little bootys. I had forgotten all about them. I told Rick to get all the decorations down this year so I could trim down what we don't need to keep. Then we will put them in our storage shed since we still plan to move sometime soon. When he came down the ladder with these I was so surprised. I had forgotten all about them.
I took a couple of pictures before I threw them out. They were filthy after being in the attic for about 18 years. From the pictures you can tell they are made from milk jugs glued together. I forgot to take a picture of the back. You cut out a hole in back and fill the bottom with about an inch of dirt so they don't blow over. That's also the same hole I stuck the light in when I strung the lights across.
The ears are cut from old jeans and the scarf is just a scrap of red fabric. If you are creative enough you could probably create any cute character with these jugs. I used a permanent marker to make the face so it wouldn't fade from the sun or rain.
Rick spent his day making sausage.
He used to only do pan sausage but his skill at making link sausage is getting better.
He plans to smoke them tomorrow.
As you can tell, he is proud of himself. It's really nice to know that life as we know it would not end if our world drastically changed. We just might survive and be the better for it.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm trying to get back on the blogging train.
