They're comin' straight FOR us!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Took the opportunity today to alarm my neighbors by taking things out into the yard and photographing them! These are my Tom Turkeys :) The one on the left is actually a candy dish and belonged to my Grandpa Maynerd. I sure do miss him. It was until recently filled with candy corn, but some people-shaped turkeys ate it! The one at the right I bought years ago at an antique shop and had been my only centerpiece. The grand one in the center I bought just this last week at the antique mall. As soon as I saw him, I knew I couldn't leave without him! Enjoy the day and travel safely! I now have HEAT! My furnace was inspected yesterday and when I woke up to shower and dress for work...there was no heat! I must have gotten ready in RECORD TIME! But the maintainance man was good enough to fix it the night before Thanksgiving while I was at work. Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special anyone? :)

If you see a sign that says "Peep Show"...

...it doesn't mean they're letting you look at Christmas presents early... Well not in this case. I'm not actually SHOWING the presents, just a few of the building blocks. I have been busy working on Christmas presents and therefore don't want to spoil them! ;) But here a few little things I was playing with this morning. That is my well worn TV tray that is probably older than I am and I'm working with some lovely little confetti sized buttons! I love how random they are! It was another blustery cold day today and I STILL haven't turned on the furnace yet. I was watching the newer PBS BBC version of Dr. Zhivago and sipping tea with my slippers and sweater on as I stitched these. I work tonight and have Thanksgiving off. I plan to stitch some more in the morning and watch the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special before going to bed! :)
