Turk's Head Knot Bracelets

Hi everyone!  Karen here from Renegade Homestead.  It's not even the end of November and I'm knocking out presents left and right (granted, I'm a dog walker so it could be that I have more time on my hands than most crafters).  Today I finished a few Turk's head knot bracelets for my college girl friends.  

I used this tutorial and found that each one took about 20 minutes.  Perfect for stocking stuffers and easily accomplished in front of the TV.  

And I have to share this - the funniest thing happened while I was taking pictures of the finished bracelets!  See anything out of place in the picture below?

That would be a wild turkey on the right.  A whole flock of them wandered into my photo shoot!

Happy to see there were some survivors from Thanksgiving right in my own backyard.  To anyone who celebrated it last week, I hope your holiday was as good as theirs!

Surprises - v - perfect fit . . .

I made my daughter (age 18 and away from home at university) a silver ring for Christmas.  Would it fit the finger she'd prefer to wear it on?  Would it fit any of her fingers? Would she even like it?  As the weeks have passed, I've got more nervous so when I saw her on Saturday I let her see the ring and try it on.

Surprise spoilt but she loved the ring and I can now re-size it to fit perfectly. 

Next I have to make a surprise gift for her!
