Happy Thanksgiving 2008

Wishing everyone that reads this a very Happy Thanksgiving!

This photo is so stately and symbolic of today, I just wanted to share this guy with everyone. He is a Bourbon Red turkey, which is an endangered heritage breed. We plan to have these on our farm when we "get there".

Isn't he a beauty!?

And here's a thought for tomorrow...BUY HANDMADE!!!

Here's a few links to help you find wonderful (many times, one of a kind) handmade gifts!

Brussel Sprouts

This is so original and beautiful! Time to play with food!

I found this beautiful creation via HouseMartin and Craftzine.

Yet another finished afghan! The name of this pattern is called Lumberjack Flannelghan and the pattern can be found here. I used Hobby Lobby's store brand yarn "I Love This Yarn". It's super soft...almost feels like chenille.

It's a gift for Christmas for *someone*. I hope they like it. ;-)

**It was a gift for my oldest brother that is a civilian working in Afghanistan. He LOVED it! He was so surprised that I would take the time to make something for him.

Moving again

Our lease is up at the place we are renting in the country, on the six acres.

We are moving back into town, back into the neighborhood we lived in when we first moved to Amarillo.

Someday we will find our farm or land on which to build our farm.

My first born turns 21

She went and did it! Katie turned 21 today. I just can't believe it. Here's a photo of her a few weeks before her birthday.

Here's the afghan I made for Katie's birthday gift. I also purchased a couple of things for her, but this I made myself so she'd have something special for her 21st.

She loves camouflage and her favorite color is pink. She really loves it!
