Don’t skip Thanksgiving! I know everyone is excited and ready to be holly jolly but Thanksgiving has it’s own unique and wonderful atmosphere. I love getting together with close family and friends to enjoy delicious home-cooked food like deep-fried turkey, maple-glazed yams, and my absolute favorite – sweet potato pie!
Pumpkin pie is okay too…let’s not fight over the holidays okay 🙂
So with the family all gathered around, I really like to make a big impression with my table setting. This year I hand-made some utensil holders and bows out of yarn and I painted and stenciled on a flat wooden pumpkin that I found at A.C. Moore. To finish it all off I crocheted some bows and stitched them onto the utensil holders and I made a bigger one to tie onto the stem of the wooden pumpkin.
For this project, I chose to use terracotta and fisherman yarn from Lion Brand as well as creme colored acrylic paint for the pumpkin. This combination of colors blends together so beautifully and sets the perfect mood for this time of year!
The nice thing about this pattern is that it can be made to fit any season by just changing the colors!
