Cute!

I never got around to posting any pictures of the boys in their Indian Bonnets I made them for Christmas.  The feathers were saved when we dry plucked our Thanksgiving Turkey.

I made some horns from felt and sewed them to the side of the headband on this one.











Great nephew did not know he was getting one.  He thought he had only been modeling for sizing for the one I made grandson.  It was fun making these and giving them as handmade gifts.

Thanksgiving Turkey....the gift that keeps on giving!

For those of you who read my blog, you know we slaughtered our first turkey for Thanksgiving.  It was yummy too!  We ate leftovers for several days, boiled the carcass and canned seven jars of turkey and vegetable soup.

Rather than scald the turkey to remove the feathers, we dry plucked it.  No stinky smell which was a blessing and the feathers came out easier than I thought.  I saved most of the feathers as I had a plan and today I did it!


 I cut most of the brim off of a sun-visor cap.  Purchased a band that looked Indianish from Walmart's fabric department and went to work with the hot glue gun.




I think it turned out quiet cute for our little wild Indian (grandson).














Papa Bear tried it out on one of the Christmas Bears.    I think he liked it.
