Crocheted Turkey Place Cards

I’ve made a million different kinds of Thanksgiving place cards–pilgrim girls, pilgrim boys, turkeys and Indians. What I haven’t done is make more permanent ones…like this.

I started working on them in October and just went slow and steady–a little every couple of days.

Having a box of tiny turkey faces made me laugh every time I took the lid off. They’re so dang cuuuute!

I simply adore these guys! They even have their own expressions.

The final touch and these turkeys are happily, safely ready for the table.

Ha!

Gobble, gobble.

Harvest Puzzle Cheater

This lovely thing went together way faster that I expected it too.

Notice anything peculiar?

It’s one of those cheater puzzles with letters on the back. I tryyyyy to resist even looking but then, in the end, I give up and sort them into individual piles. When you’re working on about 150 pieces at a time…it does go together faster.

I guess I’ll have to remain a cheater.

A happy little puzzle cheater.

Heh, heh.

Turkey Nugget

Soooo–many times when I’m making a little crochet character, I’m nearly overwhelmed with supreme selfishness…

to the point that I want to finish the pretty thing and throw it in my purse…

and leave the country….

to keep it for myself, instead of giving it to the person it is meant for.

So far, I’ve always pulled myself together, mustered up a little maturity and sent–whatever it is–on it’s merry way.

That is…until now.

This little turkey nugget was just so CUTE that I was over come.

I couldn’t help myself.

After much deliberation, I’m afraid I kidnapped him and hid him away in a secure location and…you know…

made another one.

No one will ever know of my treachery and dreadful deception.

Except that I just told you.

Dang it.

Corn Pop Feast Favors

These little Thanksgiving Feast Favors went together very quickly.

All I did was pack Corn Pops cereal into Ziploc Snack bags.

Next wrap them in light and dark green tissue paper.

Twist the paper at the top and bottom and tie with brown yarn or raffia.

And there you have it!!
