Turkey and the First Snow


We had our first snow on Friday... it was actually quite beautiful and only a small amount. The kids are thrilled with it! They donned all the snow gear and ran out to the back yard to play and chase the dogs. Once inside, requests for hot chocolate filled promptly.
The turkey is felted wool and from a kit. (sorry, can't seem to find the envelope to share the designer with you - will post when found!) It's a smallish penny rug for a table or even to hang on the front door. He's in need of some eyes and a few other bobs and fobs. It's been tough finding Thanksgiving decorations... seems the stores have tons of Halloween and Christmas. We are going to brainstorm and just make our own. Any ideas out there...? We'd love some if you'd like to share. Have a peaceful Sunday.

Maybe a cornucopia of felt leaves the kids make and fresh fruit...Happy Thanksgiving! (But I think you're doing just fine.)

Hi Kittie,
Great idea... I think we'll try that! Thanks for stopping by.

cute turkey and pups! so funny to see your photos of snow as we spent yesterday at the beach! i can't really be of much help on decorations as I'm all about the food (making my gravy base tomorrow).

Thanks Beth! Luckily, the snow has already melted so I took down the umbrellas and put away lots of summer toys etc. Wish I could say I've just come from the beach :) Happy cooking!

snow always made us go crazy and run for our boots mittens, we acted like we ate doghnuts and coffee and a pound of sugar, the excitement.
