Moustache Tree

This tree has a moustache! Isn't it so cute?
I happened to see this tree while we were walking the dog today. I don't know who decided the tree would look more handsome with some facial hair, but whoever it was has an amazing fashion sense.

I've discussed how faces make inanimate objects automatically cuter - those knots for eyes are great. But what makes this extra cute is the context - that I just came across it on a random street, and if I hadn't been watching, I might have missed it. It's not like I was walking in the moustache arboretum, where something like this would be pretty commonplace. Surprise cuteness in an unexpected location is one of life's great joys! Don't you think?

Sheep Cupcakes

Continuing on with the edible sheep theme:
Aren't these little lambs so cute you almost can't take it?! I know. At first I thought they were just faces peering out of fluffy cupcakes. But then I realized they are little fluffy sheep balls with their feet all splayed out! I think the bulk of their cuteness comes from the ridiculousness of their tiny faces peering out of all those fluffy marshmallows. I'm pretty sure if I made them they wouldn't come out this cute so I'm not going to try. But if anyone else wants to, here's the Food Network recipe, and let me know how they come out!

Red Fish

Ta-da! My newest animalicule. I haven't had a lot of time to spend on the animalicules, but the long weekend last week gave me a burst of inspiration. Up next: an entire school of them. What makes this guy cute mainly is the ridiculous fact that he is a fish and he has teeth. Although, I guess some real fish do have teeth, right? But not big pearly whites like this. And the other thing that makes him cute: the angle from which you look at him. If you look from the front, you experience the cuteness in a whole different way!

Bear Mug!

Guess who got the cutest bear mug in the world for Valentine's Day?! Well okay there could be a cuter bear mug out there, but this one would certainly give it a run for its money. In case you can't tell from the pictures, the ears and nose are on the bottom of the mug and they make 3 little legs for it to stand on when you use it. So why is it cute?
1. The face is intrinsically cute regardless of where it is.
2. The unexpected facts that the face is on the bottom and the bear stands on his face are so ridiculous that it's insanely cute!
3. I can't believe hubby picked this out for me all by himself!
