Let's Go Fly a Kite

What you see: Daddy Mock focusing on getting the kite to sail high. Kid Mock chasing after it's ribbons with shear excitement. Sports undies sprouting out, frog boots dominating the picture.
What you don't see: The actual kite (although it's tail is barely visible on the top right).

What you see: The subject, next to the article that symbolizes our commitment for better or worse. Spring wildflowers in an otherwise barren and stodgy field.
What you don't see: Kid not-so-patiently waiting for the wind to pick up.

What you see: Nature's pattern and countenance.
What you don't see: Baby Bee snuggled closely to Mommy Bee's chest, resting his feverish head, allowing his body to heal by making contact with hers. Mommy attempting to take photos while Baby is doing so.

What you see: A beautiful neighbor girl. A best friend to Kid. A little Mommy herself.
What you don't see: Kid stealthily snaking her pink scooter to take it for a ride.

Reconstruction

On the subject of being "green" and striving to be more resourceful... think about all those clothes that are at the goodwill. Why consume in retail stores when there is plenty of opportunity at your local Salvation Army? Ha! A crazy thought, indeed, especially coming from the labeled "fashion nazi" (yes, my friends did name me that in the second grade, although I plead denial). It's hard to believe that there are such finds, but I was just raving over the $75 Velvet dress I found (no, not as in fabric, velvet, but as in the brand) for $1.50. As I have been learning to sew in more detail, it's been eye-opening on how many opportunities the goodwill has waiting for a fashion nazi like me.

Take this XL men's "tetris" shirt:

And turn it into kitch "lounge pants".

Rids the bulky and unattractive sweats that are so comfy and adds a whole new edge.

Because let's face it, this Bee is all-too cool for sweats.

My challenge: If you can't make time to hop over to the goodwill, look through your closet for something you can reconstruct-come back and share, inspire me and others for new ideas!
