The Melt-Less Pumpkin Snowman

Prince the Cat didn't seem to mind either way ;-)

So... these snowballs, I  mean pumpkins,

are the ones that I never got around to

drilling the holes into for my

outdoor Fall / Halloween porch decor.

I thought about chucking them over the fence

for Suzie Cow to eat. Then it occured to me that

I needed something for my Christmas/Winter

front porch decor. Instead of putting

 up a tree, I thought a "Snow" man

would be a fun and super cute project.

We don't get the pretty white snow 

down here in South East Georgia. 

However, we do have LOTS of the Green

Longleaf Pines needles and pinecones!

I scrounged around my hubby's t-shirt drawer

and found an old black one that

I cut just under the arm pits.

I cut a strip from the top of that to use

as a "rope" to tie off the top and

glue the t shirt edge to his "head."

I cut black felt circles for eyes and 

tummy buttons, and I cut the

smaller ones for the smile.

I found a piece of orange for the carrot nose.

His scarf is made from the sleeves

from one of my old sweaters.

His "arms" are smaller than I wanted

but I didn't feel like dragging out the

hedge trimmer, so I just found a 

bush that I was able to break off

some twiggy branches bare handed.

I'm undecided about the eyes...

should I cut some white dots?

They look a little, well... creepy...

What do y'all think?

How do I make his eyes look "happy"?

** Crescents added to eyes **
Better, much better ;-)
