Day: May 27, 2017

Tie o’ the Day #2 (from Bow Tie Tuesday) is covered in mustaches. Sorry, I got them a bit blurry in the photo, but they really are mustaches. I decided that since I was wearing a tie o’ mustaches, it would look suave to wear a Panama hat. And it does present a swell picture. The cherry on top of the outfit, though, is the cigar I’m pretending to smoke. I guess lighting the cigar would make it better for the photo, and for actual smoking. But since I don’t smoke, I guess an unlit cancer stick is best for me and my bow tie. 🚬

This bee-covered CHAPS (Bow) Tie o’ the Day #1 is enamored with these plastic lovebirds, which hang in a cage crafted by my Dad’s mom–the late, great, elegant Momo.  I felt this was a sign that I needed to have The Talk with all the ties and bow ties, so we have been having a little discussion about the in’s and out’s (no pun intended😉) of the birds and the bees. They have been paying rapt attention, cuz–let’s face it–it’s an interesting subject.

In case you want to craft this artistic piece, note that the cage materials include hangers, styrofoam, plastic flowers, and tulle (net fabric). And don’t forget the plastic lovebirds. Momo sure did know her craft stuff.✂️
