Good Morning! Just stopping by to say a quick hello and thank everyone for their sweet comments about the pumpkin patch! I have been having a great time making them and on the side started making my wax Tom Turkeys... my house smells fabulous!! I have always made Santas and lambs and this week I found this amazing mold so now I have added turkeys to the bunch. You can find the molds at Walmart, I just melt down a huge candle and let it set up on its own, sometimes I rub them with cinnamon for more heavenly scent. Easy Peasy but if you don't want to invest in the goods to make them well I just listed them and some more pumpkins in the etsy store. More cuffs on the way too! So no, not a farm exactly... but my kids wished it was!This has to be short, I need to wake Max up for school, we are going on a field trip to a wonderful nature center near by... I hope the rain holds off!
Thanks for stopping by and for always being so encouraging! Theresa xoxo
You are one busy lady!! You know I love the pumpkins and now you have me wanting one of the turkeys too. Time to go shopping on etsy!

Does Tom come with a wick for burning? That is such a clever idea and I love your pumpkins.

OMGos I love that Turkey and you made it from a Wal-Mart pan, who'd a thunk it, lol! What a great idea! You are so smart to use those for candles! I have wanted one of those but don't do much baking but love Candles so later when I go shopping I may just have to go through the housewares section and one of those turkeys may just fly in my cart, (and Yes Turkeys do fly, we have about 25-30 that cruise through our property every day and then the dogs chase them and off they fly into the woods, lol!) You are so talented and inspiring, I still have to get my pumpkins made but will let you know when I do. (I got some more really neat trim at another yard sale, lol)
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your fieldtrip!
((Hugs)) Theresa

Theresa, I love Tom Turkey. That is such a great project. I'm going to have to go check out that Etsy store of yours. What a great gift he would make (for me) my out of town relatives that we miss so much this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely darling!
ReplyDeleteTime to go take a peek at your Etsy again. :-)
I just came over from Tea Rose and I love your pumpkins. Your blog is filled with so many beautiful things.
