turkeys and owls

Yesterday I hosted a play group where we made these cute oreo turkeys.

I got the idea here. Mostly it was moms making these, but all the kids of course were enjoying the candy! Me too!


My mom has a habit of buying quilting, crafting and cooking magazines when she sees them and I always have to check them out as well. In a recent edition of Quilting and More (I think that's the right one) I saw this most adorable pattern for a pillow. The kicker was that it was in the same fabrics as Molly's quilt that's hanging in her room. Of course I had to make it! And the pattern was included in the book, so why not?

The final result! Isn't it sweet? The writing says, "You're a hoot!" if you can't tell. Sorry the lighting isn't the best for these. Now my mom thinks I need to make some owl pillows as well-sheesh! The project list goes on and on!

It is always so funny to me when we moms plan such fun things and the kids just want to eat not make! I guess it is still fun for us, though right?
