I stitched this lovely little plump turkey yesterday in just a few hours, isn't he a cutie? Haven't decided how I will finish him yet but I will have to do it quickly. I would love to have him on display for Thanksgiving.
While going through Christmas charts and ornaments I have planned to work on, I came across a chart I bought a year or two ago. It is an advent calendar by Sampler Lady. Its so very sweet and I thought I would start it. Its really very easy to stitch and as you can see I got quite a few squares done. I misjudged my fabric size though but I am not going to start again, I will add some fabric on and just hope and pray that it won't fray before I get it done. I am tempted to make another for a gift, its really such an easy stitch.
I need to start on my ornaments very soon, have quite a few to make and a couple stockings too. This is the best time of year, the Christmas Stitching Rush.
Yesterday, I took all my Halloween decorations down and left a couple things out for thanksgiving. I can't wait to start Christmas decorating. I hear the decorations are out in Walmart already and I am dying to get there and check everything out. Have still been under quarantine around here with everyone still sick but should be okay for me to venture out tomorrow. I might go crazy once I am out there among people. LOL Can't wait. I hate being cooped up like this. I use to think I would never mind because I could get so much stitching done but I didn't get as much done as planned. Seems like I get more done when I am working everyday.
Have a great day everybody and thank you all for all the kind get well notes you have sent. xoxoxoxoxo (germ free kisses & hugs)

I hope everyone has recovered from being sick there! It's funny that you're all psyched for the holidays -- I'm sitting here thinking where did the year go? lol! There was Christmas music playing in the grocery store yesterday -- I'm sorry, that's ridiculous! But yes, I'm looking forward to the festivities as well. :D Nice turkey finish! And the Advent calendar -- what fun!
Lovely stitching - I'm starting to panic - so much to do before the holidays start!
I was in the store the other day and they were playing Christmas music, the day after Halloween. That's nuts! I hope your fabric works out and glad you are feeling a little better. Hope everyone is starting to feel better at your house.
I hope you are all on the mend by now.
Your little turkey is so pretty. What thread did you use?
Sharon, I love your Gobble! What thread did you use? I've got it in my stash and am itching to stitch it.
Enjoy getting out, but I imagine you'll be ready to get back stitching soon after. I know I would! Great progress.
Hope everyone is back to normal at your house! I love your pumpkin!! They have been playing Christmas commercials on TV. The Folgers one gets me every time!
