PB Copy Cats & Turkey Love!

I've been wanting to make one of these pillows like they sell at Pottery Barn for a year,

but just got around to it!

So easy......one GW sweater ($3)

cut and sewn together and filled with an insert I already had.

This is the back of the pillow, but the front of the sweater.  I used the finished front and changed out the buttons (some old ones I found in my button jar) to secure the pillow.  I think the back of the pillow is cute and sassy with its buttons and pockets.

I found a $3 GW cable knit sweater in a gorgeous red

and made this pillow using a down insert

that I already had.

This sweater was even easier because it was a crew neck pullover.

I just cut off the sleeves and across the top to even it out.

Then stitched 'er up.

Now, what to do with the sleeves from the 2 sweaters????

Daughter suggested a scarf.

Brilliant!

I just sewed the sleeves together at the openings,

and voilà!

2 adorable, warm scarves!

Not wanting to waste anything.....

I finished off the edges of the

hood on the cream colored sweater.

As soon as I add a pom-pom,

it will be a cute and warm winter hat with scarf attached

for a granddaughter! (or me!)

So, 2 pillows, 2 scarves and a cute hat for $6!!!

Daughter and Daughter-in-law made the cutest things for

the kids' Thanksgiving table.

Check out Mr. Turkey.

He was so cute that the kids just gobbled him up

(no pun intended!).

Daughter made these acorns.....

Nutter Butter Cookies with chocolate kisses on top!

And pilgrim hats.....

Large marshmallows sitting on fudge striped cookies.

Then chocolate glaze and buckle added.

Too cute.

You can bet we had no trouble getting the kids to eat!!



We had a wonderful Thanksgiving

and are enjoying the beginning of

the Christmas Season.

Hope you are too!

Blessings!

Linda
