Giving Thanks!


Thanksgiving is only 4 days away! For most people that's nothing too exciting but this will be my first Thanksgiving hosted at my house!! I feel a bit overwhelmed, but that's typically how I feel prior to any event I host. I'm pretty prepared though. I have all the supplies I need for Thursdays dinner and on top of that, I've had some spare time to make do some crafts!! Always exciting!

I picked up these amazingly cute baskets from Joann's Fabrics, 50% off! I guess the plus side to having to wait 30 minutes to have your number called to get your fabric cut is that you have no choice but to walk around & occasionally score some amazing deals! I spent no more than $4.00 a basket and got those Cinnamon Spice Pine Cones that they place right at the front door... 


making it impossible not to grab a bag...to fill them with. If my house doesn't already smell delish on Thanksgiving from the turkey, these are sure to do the trick
My Aunt's birthday was yesterday so I made here this super cute clutch. I was surprised how simple this was to make. I think I may even make these for Christmas gifts. So if you like it, let me know! I will be sure to get your one for the holidays!













Unfortunately, I didn't make the turtleneck shirt BUT I did sew the appliqué Turkey! I liked the Turkey so much, I made one just to frame so I can reuse it every Thanksgiving! (see below)


I made these Thanksgiving picture frames to decorate the table on Thursday. If I have enough time this week I'm planning on making a matching Indian man and woman to go with the set.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!
