My Turkeys

I really love Thanksgiving!! Since I am not (ever) in charge of cooking the main dishes (I'll try not to take that as a commentary on my cooking... lol!) I try to contribute some fun extras. This year - Cornucopias and Pilgrim hats!!
Wait for it... The Cornucopias started with this...

I know. the picture alone makes me happy... Anyway, that turned into these:

Then - the hats:

Chocolate dipped marshmallows on fudge stripe cookies. Your welcome, family!! But - to the real reason for the post. My Turkeys. The only turkeys I will probably ever make...

You may notice the Princess's very interesting shirt? It her own design. It used to be a tank top, and she had me sew in the sleeves, upside down, of an old sweatshrit of her dad's... as turkey wings. It was a cleaver idea! lol!

He really is a little turkey...

hahaha! But really - from my home to yours - Happy Thanksgiving!

As I have never used foam board in something that someone wears, and also... I have never made turkey costumes, I am going to link up to TNT at Happy Quilting!



I also want to list a few things I am thankful for:

I am thankful for my family. My husband, who is my best friend, and my kids who make me smile everyday.
I am thankful for all of my extended family. It's like having a giant cheerleading squad just for me!
I am thankful for my home.
I am thankful for my talents and the opportunity to share them.
I am thankful for the Internet!
I am thankful for all of you!

Gobble Gobble!

I finished up my Turkey Table Topper!! It is so cute and makes me smile every time I see it!

The feathers are a large scale half Dresden Plate. The body and face I just designed on the fly. Turned out cute, though! I opted not to quilt it (time restrictions) so, I just made it a tablecloth topper instead and just hemmed the edges with a zigzag stitch.

It's making my Thanksgiving Happy! :)
