Some Christmas creations

16 years ago

Here are a couple of GJ items that my wonderful DH made for me this Christmas. First he made me a snow gauge...the snowflakes are made out of nuts and nails! And then he made me a "birdie treat" holder for outside near our feeders. The base is made from old mower blade teeth and he formed and welded the heart! I love them!!! And him too of course!

What a sweetheart! Those are great gifts for the great outdoors. At least the snow gauge makes it a little more interesting when you're hit with the white stuff. Give him a smooch for being an A+ garden junker!

DH did a great & very creative job!! Does the center of heart have a function? I see the ends are for hunk of fruit, thought maybe you pierced a cake of suet with the heart center?? Love that snow gauge, only in So. Dak. would be buried right now! Asked if lot of snow around DS's place, he said,yes, about 12 ft. snowplow hasn't made it there yet, just 1 lane down street. Kid that got frostbite had helmet & face protection on & wind still got him! But you know, you have to try out your birthday present!!Think he will remember this birthday a long time!! Jan

What a neat idea. I like that he recycled and he made them very useful.

I love the snow gauge in particular. How wonderful of your dh to make all those things for the garden.
Normally an 18 gauge in wouldnt be enough for here either, but it sounds like SD got some of our snow and Europe too. 12 ft in SD! We have just enough to be pretty, a foot or so on the ground at the moment.

The arrow in the heart is for a cake of suet! And the funny thing is that we got 18 inches of snow the week BEFORE he gave me the snow gauge!

Oh Marlene, How sweet of your husband to hand make those gifts. I usually try and hand make my gifts. This year poor David just got a PEDEGG (which is not precious at all).
