The Astro-Weenie Topiary
After an insanely long vow of silence, the great crafters of the world have come back with a bang. A cullinary creation of exquisite breadth and beauty that can only be described by the artist herself:
“I’m the owner of a group called Southern Tier Mommies of Babies. It’s a group for moms in the Southern Tier of New York who have babies from ages 0-36 months. We have gatherings/playdates/meetings all the time. Yesterday, I hosted a “fancy tea party” where everyone dressed up in their best clothes, drank different teas, and snacked on hors d’oeuvres. I brilliantly thought, “Oh, that astro weenie tree would be perfect for this.” Of course, since it’s nearly June, I didn’t want it to be a Christmas tree. So I improvised and made a topiary using a candle-stick-holder and a styrofoam ball.
All of the toddlers absolutely loved my astro-weenie topiary, and the parents were impressed, too. Everyone kept asking me if I made it. So, I just had to submit it.”

Congratulations Amy on destroying all conventions and braving the dark astro forest to build the only Weenie concotion ever created halfway around the calendar! Yess! You are the supreme winner.
