Nov. 7, 2008 - Family Night
For Family Night this week, we cooked some brats (from the freezer that I wanted to use up) over the fire pit in the back yard, and worked on these Thanksgiving table runners-which by the way, would make great Christmas gifts for grandparents.
You can sew your own table runner if you are crafty enough. OR if you are like me, you can save yourself a trip to the fabric store, hours of trying to figure out a pattern, cutting it out, messing with the bobbin thingy on your sewing machine, and order them from Oriental Trading Company. We made a personalized family of handprint turkeys. (we used poster paint for the turkeys and fabric paint for the names) We then added a border using corn on the cob. Use paint to make different colored rows on your cob of corn. (easier if you break it in half) Then "roll" the corn around the table runner. Don't forget a Thanksgiving greeting and the year you made your table runner! Have fun!
