He suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis which has slowed him down, for him that is. When he needs to rest, he comes on the computer and starts to create, with pride, his snowmen. They are quite intricate and I think they are quite nifty. Some of these snowmen also look a bit shifty but they are all fun!
Since he is a dingbat when it comes to anything electronic, he asked me to place these on my blog and see what you all think:) This man can fix vacuums-hell, he took 3 that were on the side of the road for garbage pick up, and fixed all of them. He built our front stairs and has received many compliments (I chose the colours). He replaced our roof on the house after we had a bad wind storm. Can he figure out how to use the DVR? Nope...complete dingbat! I even wrote instructions.... Nope! I came home from work and he had screwed up the TV and complained it was not put together correctly (wires etc...). I got it back in shape in 20 seconds. Oh well he is my wonderful dingbat.
So here are some of his snowmen:
This one reminds me of the pigeon lady in Home Alone 2
He is one snowman who loves the sun
OK they are the Valleygirl snowmen wearing ugs:)
This is how I felt this past winter:)
This snowman has one long carrot for a nose.....there is a dirty joke in there somewhere:)
He is working on another one with 3 snowmen but this is his group for now:) Oh and here are the front stairs he built and painted.
He is responsible for the beautiful plants since I am the kiss of death. he will no longer let me be near them. I still will give my 2 cents worth though because I can(I am smiling with an evil grin).
I really love these snowmen. Snowmen are my favorite Christmas decoration!
ReplyDeleteHe is creating more
DeleteBeautiful steps he made; I like your yard; so green! He does seem talented in his own way, so what if he's a bit technology challenged (I totally understand, I'm the same way). I like his snowmen. I haven't seen colorful snowmen like this before, but it works with the bright colors of them! My favorite was the first one. I hope down the road you'll share more of his talent with us :)
ReplyDeletebetty
Actually my hubby is very talented and I will showcase his work with wood...very unique and stunning!
DeleteLook at those plants and the beautiful steps. You have one talented husband. The snowmen are awesome. I love how each one is so unique. My favorite is the first one. Something about the colors and the swirls. :) Thanks for sharing them with us!

He worked hard on those steps and he is very talented
DeleteHe's got talent, and quite an imagination...and your stairs are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh his imagination is on its own plane
DeleteWow! These are great Michael!!
ReplyDeleteHe thanks you Marni:)
DeleteWow, awesome job indeed, very creative. Who needs to work the TV when he can build stairs like that
ReplyDeleteYes he can stick to creating stairs and beautiful works of art
DeleteI like the snowmen and the steps. It sounds as though your talents complement each other's, even if you are both nuts (which I don't believe!)
ReplyDeleteThat is really nice:) I am glad we seem to complement each other and I think we do brilliantly.
DeleteLove these, but I'm a snowman NUT.
ReplyDeleteHe's making more snowmen:)
DeleteI think your husband has a long lost brother...my husband a total numpty when it comes to Pc's....bless...I really like his snowmen!...xxx
ReplyDeleteHahahaaaa-He can fix so much but not electronics:) Glad you like the snowmen
DeleteLove all the snowmen! Your husband is very talented! What do you do with all that talent (between the two of you) under one roof?!
ReplyDeleteThe steps are gorgeous! Love them! Sounds like you guys are perfect for each other. :)
Thank you so much! Very sweet of you and we do have vivid imaginations:)
DeleteYour husband is pure talent. The stairway looks really cool. I'm totally amazed with his ability to achieve such precise "paint brush" strokes with a computer! My favorite is third from the end. "Help I'm melting!"
ReplyDeleteHahaaa yup he can do things very precise and I will show you his true art a little later...it is amazing!
DeleteHe did a great job on the stairs.
ReplyDeleteYou should incorporate some of his snowmen into your cards.
Actually we were talking about that the other day and plan on doing just that:)
DeleteEveryone has their talents. The stairs are wonderful. The important thing is whether he enjoys his time making the snowmen.
ReplyDeleteHe does enjoy it and takes pride in his work and he should because he is a brilliant artist which I will showcase later this month
DeleteI'll be working on stairs when the weather warms. Your hubby does good work.
ReplyDeleteRick, your latest follower.
He worked quite hard in creating these stairs and not bad for someone who never studied how to do this..comes naturally to him. Thanks for following:)
DeleteFirst of all, I would love to be a fly on the wall in your house. I bet you guys are hilarious :) second, your hubby might not get electronics, but he's amazing at carpentry! Those stairs are gorgeous, and they do not look easy to build. Also, I love the Valleygirl snowmen. Like, LOVE them. And the one right under them, with the Van Gogh-esque swirls in the air. So cool.
ReplyDeleteOh yes people just shake their heads when we get started:) He is great in creating so much and you have to see his true art that he does with mahogany. He does wood burning but to such detail it looks like tapestry. I will showcase his work later this month. Glad you love the valley girls and the Starry Night one:)
DeleteWho needs technical know-how when you can actually fix things? Cute snowmen.
ReplyDeleteYup-he has saved us thousands actually with all the work he has done
DeleteI love them! The first one is my favorite. Although Willy Dunne Wooters has been a computer programmer for many years, he knows very little about how to use a computer. He's also worthless when it comes to DIY. Good thing I enjoy talking to him and cuddling him.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Hhahahaaa-made me laugh:) I can cuddle with my hubby unless he is in his busy mode then he has no time:)
DeleteMy fav is the Valley Girl snowmen, but enough about that - THE PORCH IS FANTASTIC!! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteGlad you love the porch he created-We had people take pictures of them. Now we just have to get the rest of the house to match the incredible stairs
DeleteThat sounds like the equation of one great due: one dingbat plus two creatives. Love his art. You got a good dingbat there. DVRs and remotes are so darn confusing - I'm on his side on that one. I'm a dingbat too.
ReplyDeleteYes we seem to go well together and I am a dingbat in many areas
DeletePS I meant duO. The dingbat in me misspelled it.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteThese are so great! Your hubby is one creative guy! Love the valley girls in uggs. Too cute! Your front steps are B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! Hold on to that dingbat!
ReplyDeleteHe is quite creative and I will showcase his artwork later this month. The steps are just great eh?:)
DeleteThis man is a keeper, Birgit. Mine is a total geek - electronics and computers are his thing.... and that's about it. He can't boil an egg, he can't make the bed and he's rubbish at DIY. He's been building a garden shed (or so he says) for the past 15 years! And look at your front stairs! WOW
ReplyDeletehugs, Asha
Yes he is a keeper. He has made me dinner more than once...actually, since he is not working, he makes the dinners during the week and cleans the house! He won't dust though. That's OK look at what he all does:)
DeleteOooh, Birgit, you have a Wonder Man! All his snowmen are full of whimsy and delight. My favorite is the tanning snowman. I like the stairs. Very oh-la-la colors.
ReplyDeleteGlad you love his snowmen. They are all unique
