Thanksgiving Blessings

As this year draws to a close and the new year brings new worries, I remind myself this Thanksgiving to be appreciative of all I have and hope for peace, happiness, and compassion.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Trying to focus on the things for which we can be thankful.

Happy Thanksgiving!

 I have much to for which to be thankful this year. 

 This has been quite a year, but we have much for which to be thankful. 

Wishing you a Very Happy Thanksgiving!

There's a lot for which to be thankful this year. 

Hoping next year brings peace and satisfaction!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving Day. Now I'm headed for the kitchen to cook. I'm particularly thankful to have tomorrow off as well.

Happy Thanksgiving

You won't see this at our house this year, as hubby and I are both working. The hospital usually has decent food for those of us stuck working the holidays. Hopefully, everyone will behave themselves.

Turkey Project

I've been trying to come up with some sort of easy, unique, inexpensive Thanksgiving project to do with my grandson (he's 5). I didn't want to buy anything, but use what I had on hand. This is what I came up with. He had a great time cutting and gluing. I cut the felt pieces, just because my sewing scissors are very sharp and the pieces are small. I also cut the body, and the layers were pretty thick (cereal box and corrugated paper). He cut the feathers on the turkey on the left (I drew the shape, he cut along the lines.)

These turkeys are actually a little bit more 3-D that they appear in the first photo. Magnet strips on the back allow these birds to be affixed to the refrigerator.

I'm trying to decide if we need to add wings of some sort.

 

And here he is on the refrigerator:

 

 Supplies:

Cereal box cardboard

Plastic spoon

Felt (for eyes, beak, waddle, legs)

Construction paper

Corrugated paper

Elmer's glue

Magnet strips

Tan acrylic craft paint



Happy Thanksgiving!

Remember all the blessings we have in our lives this day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing you a very happy, safe and warm Thanksgiving!

I'll be cooking a turkey today, and as it will just be the two of us here the rest will be pretty simple stuff as well. I've gone all-out in past years, but that's more like a 2-day endeavor.

It's now 6:22 p.m., and I'm stuffed. Cooked much of the afternoon, but didn't get crazy about it. That being said, there will be still be lots of leftovers. Mmmm...turkey sandwiches.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving. I have so much for which to be thankful.

Here's a turkey pin doll I designed a few years ago. It's going to be in the pin doll book I'm writing in my *free time* ~ yeah, right.

Turkey Time

Well, what do you know...I finally made something in time for a holiday.

Today I made a pin doll for a co-worker's birthday (we're going out to dinner this evening). I think I need to redesign the legs to be a little shorter, though.

Turkey Time was designed 2004. I had great aspirations to publish a pin doll book, but it's a long way from completion. So far I've got about five pin doll patterns for the book, and ideas for many more.

It may happen someday.
