"Crafting for Money"

Yesterday my sister updated me on this year's Thanksgiving craft she's heading up without my assistance. For a few years now my sisters and I have done a Thanksgiving craft for each place setting at the grand feast. Before, during, and after the craft...or anytime it's mentioned...we sing the accompanying song (to the tune of Tina Turner's hit song "Private Dancer") "I'll be your private crafter, crafting for money, I'll craft what you want me to craft." Much of our crafting inspiration has come from Big Martha.

The top left is our first craft from 2005. Next to that are the disheveled pom pom disasters from last year alongside what they were supposed to look like. The bottom depicts the 2007 beauty, next to the Martha interpretation. If I've learned anything about holiday crafting, it's stay away from the pom turkeys!

That's probably a good rule of thumb for life in general - stay away from the pom pom turkeys. What a fun tradition, anyway. Can't wait to see how this year's turned out...

What evs, the pom pom turkeys are festive and cheery! I think the googly eyes make them all the more loveable.
