Finished for Friday: A Real Turkey

I'm getting a little crazy with this whole Amigurumi thing. I have to try every silly pattern I find. So in honor of Thanksgiving, I present this week's effort - a turkey. The pattern is available at the Lion Brand yarn site. In my usual nitpicky manner I'll confess that I didn't have the right size eyes. I think these are 8mm and I was supposed to use 6mm. I know - it ruins the whole look. In the further interest of full disclosure, I'll admit that he's also supposed to have legs and feet. I was just rolling my eyes so much at this point that by the time I got the tail sewn on I just lobbed it across the room at a kid and ignored the feet. I really don't think they would have helped much.


Got some more shopping bags made for Christmas presents. If you know me in real life, guess what you're getting for Christmas? Try and act surprised. Pattern can be found on Craftster.


And here is the little boy mouse finished up to go with the little girl mouse I made earlier. I think the ornamentification process takes me as long as doing the actual stitching. Of course since I finished this, I had to order a few more canvases from this eBay shop.

Some of you have asked how I get so many things done. Let's be clear - I don't start and finish these things in the same week - far from it! I'm the Queen of unfinished projects, which is why I started this weekly feature. It's giving me incentive to clean up and finish some of the things around here.

Now it's your turn. Please show us anything you've managed to get done this week!
