My sister does the decorating for the holidays seriously and this year she decided to make a gnome out of a tomato cage. It came out so cute. Last year for Halloween she made Cousin It I thing its name is. The character in a straw skirt all over his body sporting sunglasses and a black hat from the Adam's Family series. The year before that she made the Grinch's Xmas tree with it bent at the top sporting just one lone ball. All these characters started out with some old tomato cages I gave her. She got really cute and painted some large pumpkins with faces and a couple sad looking butternut squashes I gave her. One had a gash on the side of its head from leaning against my brick wall so she made him in "Little Frankie" with stitches painted across the gash. She's so creative. Too bad she's not into quilting too.
