Well, the absolutely first thing to do in November, especially since you have an extra whole hour, is to make a pumpkin turkey!
This turkey was inspired by the talented Mary at Home is Where the Boat is…when I saw her owl pumpkin creations, I couldn’t stand it they are so cute!!!
There aren’t many any pinecones to forage around here, but I did have some gold magnolia leaves and feathers I used for a coastal Thanksgiving last year
And pumpkins by the front door…
Leaves from Autumn Leaves and a Pumpkin Chandy Wreath
I rounded up what was on hand, and started “building” my turkey
Package tape made quick work of attaching the leave stems and feathers
This turkey is for front viewing only 😁
“Honey, can you tell what this is?”
“A pumpkin with a headdress?”
Back to the drawing board…
“How about now, with conch shell eyes and a wattle?”
Leaf “feathers” for his broad breast and pipe cleaner legs & feet
“Oh, now I get it! That’s really something…” ha! I wonder what that means 😳
Sigh, he’s very tolerant!
It’s not easy be married to a crazy artist…
