Living Water Kids craft a snowman today..

You need a styrofoam ball and a white sock and a roll of toilet paper, some pom poms, wire and a fabric strip for his scarf.  They did an excellent job (first to fifth graders), the only hard part was getting that roll of toilet paper in the sock.

We used paper cut outs for the face as the fabric markers bled through the sock.  Everyone had fun, as always!

 Today I am making cornbread dressing and thankful I am able to.... and would like to wish all my friends online a happy day tomorrow.

I thought you might like to see this beautiful Christmas tree.  It is as big as my house so it isn't mine.  My friend Marie was at the lighting of it at the Henry Ford Museum.  Looks like she did some shopping there as well. 

My cornbread dressing recipe is on  my blog, November 2010 in case you would like to make it sometime.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

So Sweet

So many of us have been watching Linda's family as they have enlarged.  It seems like yesterday, the quads came along! Now they are having art lessons and sharing with us.  Thank you Linda.  Visit them often to watch them grow at Linda's Life Journal.  And may this week bless us all.

Lindberg School Craft Show

The funny little angels are going to Dearborn.  It will be nice to see everyone and take some pictures.
PJ, the flower maker, is my helper this year.  Wish my blogger friends could be there!

November turkeys

I just sent a Facebook post to Stacey Mead, the designer of the pattern I use to make these turkeys, to thank her.  I made four this year from her Raven's Haven pattern "Jake" the turkey (2007).

Jake is really easy to make, he has rebar wire legs. He also doesn't have to worry about ending up on a platter.
