The Art of Gratitude
As we prepare for our annual Thanksgiving, we look forward to spending time with family and friends enjoying a wonderful meal together. Sometimes I don't slow down long enough to be thankful and Thanksgiving is a great way to stop and give thanks to God and for His abundant blessings.
When you set your Thanksgiving table this year, why not include a printable list for your guests place setting. Consider having everyone spend a few moments jotting down (and sharing) what it is they are thankful for.
For the printable, click on the photo above. Take time to read the blog interview and watch the included video before scrolling down for the printable.

Needles-n-Pins Sticheries: A Vintage Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is getting closer for all the USA folks out there. Are you getting ready for it? Got your turkey's yet? How many of you have something else besides turkey? We are going to look back on the "by gone" years of Thanksgiving and see what we can find in the Etsy stores for some vintage decorating ideas for that Thanksgiving dinner table.
Here we go.......
Oh how many of you remember these!! I DO!! We use to have the one's with the red tail and we put them at each place setting. ElysianVintageMN has these available and you could use them on your table setting too. :)
Definitely have to have a turkey table cloth and shabbyshopgirls has this one you can put on your table.
Every Thanksgiving table should have a turkey centerpiece and this one fromTwistedVictoria has one for you. This one has all the colors you need too. :)
You will need a platter for that turkey. Oh my!!!!! This turkey platter from lanasvintagetreasure is just like the one I had for years! It is the exact same one! LOL!
There are so many more things you will need for your Thanksgiving Day dinner table, and these are just a few that you may use. Hope everyone has a great dinner!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Making A Dresden Turkey Quilting Video
It is time to get those quilting fingers going and try this Dresden Turkey from Missouri Star Quilt Company. Dresden's always intimidate me, but when you watch Jennie they look pretty easy. I think I can actually make these. I will have to give them try!
Happy sewing!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Upcycle Your Thanksgiving
Well we are into November and all the festivities of Halloween are over so now we can concentrate on Thanksgiving. For all our USA folks we need to still celebrate Thanksgiving and not let it get lost in the hustle and bustle of Christmas.
This week I think we will upcycle our Thanksgiving by visiting some Etsy shops. It is amazing all the things I came up with when I searched for this. :)
Pumpkins are not just for Halloween, but they are still part of Thanksgiving also...yep....that pumpkin pie. Look at how TheSnippySisters used repurposed mason jar lids! They make really cute pumpkin decorations.
CarriageonCherry upcycled an old wooden box to make this really nice centerpiece. You could put this on your table or sit in on a fireplace mantle.
How about this idea for a wreath for your door to welcome your friends and family to Thanksgiving dinner. It is made from upcycled coffee filters! Looks pretty good. You can find this wreath at ShadowCatCrafts.
Then look at these recycled crayons from ivylanedesigns! What a great idea to place at everyone's table setting at Thanksgiving! And so colorful too!
So let's not forget Thanksgiving. There are many ideas to use upcycled items for your decorating. Hmmm....makes me think.....what can I find that is vintage. That will be coming another week. :)
