We have tons of turkeys on the property, and most choose to scratch and make a mess out in my small flower bed area when they've got 5 acres to play on. I tell them to watch out or they'll end up in the oven.......they must know it's a hollow threat since neither one of us would be willing to kill and then butcher a turkey. Our turkey is in the oven and came from the grocery store - it's being basted every 30 minutes with wine & butter, it's Martha Stewart's Turkey 101 recipe and is the best we've ever made.
I haven't had time to post any pictures of what I'm up to fiber wise in a bit, I have been busy though. Some of what I'm working on can't be posted since they're holiday gifts. I did finish weaving the towel warp, stack is waiting to be hemmed. I decided to weave off a long warp for mug rugs that's been on the small loom longer than I want to even think about - they just didn't interest me. I will get a picture of those up on the blog soon - an 8H twill pattern.
December 5th is Pacifica's 11th Annual Winter Fine Arts & Crafts Festival in Williams, OR. I'm busy finishing up items for my booth. Mostly what I showcase and sell the most of are my woven scarves & shawls but I also have knitted and felted items, felted soaps, jewelry, shibori silk scarves, spinning/felting fibers for sale. It's really a wonderful festival - in addition to art booths there is food, this year wine tasting, different musical entertainment each hour and free kids activities. Even if I didn't sell a thing it would be a fun day.
gobble gobble gobble.....snort!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you too! That is a cool turkey picture!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've been busy and will have some cool things to show us soon!
Any time I see that you say "felted soaps" I wonder what that means. Soap encased in felt?
Good luck prepping for the show! I hope the show goes well for you!

Yes, it's soap encased in felt, it's great, like a washcloth and soap all in one. I'll have to get some pictures of the latest and post them soon.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I think all wild turkeys are rather ugly but that is a great picture!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the Martha's recipe. I use one out of Bon Appetite from like 1993 or my mother's.
It sounds like you have a wonderful array of beautiful items to go to the festival. Here's hoping for nice weather!
