Quick makeover

My co-worker and friend recently brought this little topiary to me for a make over.









Along with a roll of black and white dotted ribbon.
I gave it a quick shot of compressed air and a little sponge bath...wrapped the ribbon around the trunk and put a nice bow on it's head.

Now, I'll tell you about the funny part.... it just looked a little plain, so I called my friend and asked if she would mind if a put a "B" on it. Mind you I didn't say the LETTER B, so her reply was: "Oh okay, like up on the top in the bare spot?" and I said: "No, I don't think we're on the same page...I was thinking on the front of the pot" and she said: "Oh, I was thinking about a 3 dimensional one" and I was scratching my head completely confused. Well, it hit me about the time I finished it that she thought I was referring to a yellow and black BEE!

I think she was quite pleased when she saw the finished product and it didn't have a big bumble bee on the front of it. I'm sure it will fit much better this way in her pink and black room than it would have with a BEE on it!

Upcycling?

True Redneck Tube Top!!!! This was taken in front of the Gardendale, Alabama, Wal-Mart, where the young lady was shopping at the Flea market. This is hysterical! Look at it closely...

Now I ask you.....
Who stands and looks at a pair of men's briefs and says hummmm...I can make me a nice summer top from these!! On the other hand....$6 for a three pack is a good price!! But what if they weren't bought new? That's redneck recycling at its best.
Don't throw out yer feller's drawers when the skidmarks don't wash out no more.
Just cut the crotch out and wear'em. How very Green! Al Gore would be proud.
