For the life of me, when Madame Samm announced this blog hop, I couldn't figure out why it was being called "Black Tie Boogie". Why in the world would she call it that when we're supposed to be creating something using the theme of roosters, chicks, turkeys and hens? I mean, come on now, weren't you thinking the same thing? I couldn't have been the only one, so fess up buckos. ; ) But then I finally went to Red Rooster's website. Lo and behold, the name of the fabric line is Black Tie Boogie. Well I'll be darned ... makes complete sense to me now. ; )
My project today is another variation of my original tissue box cover pattern (which can be found here on Craftsy). The original pattern is very versatile ... you're only limited by your imagination.
This was the first time I made a dresden ... well half a dresden. Was pretty easy and I'll be doing that again. Since this is a black tie event, Mr. Tomas T. Turkey insisted on wearing a tie. He thinks he has a chance to be on the cover of GQ magazine. BAER (big as_ butt eye roll). ; )
The weather here in Illinois on Sunday was disasterous, to say the least. Coal City is only 40 miles south of where I live. I can't imagine what those people are going through. I was hunkered down and saying a lot of prayers. It was raining sideways! Scared the beejeebers out of me. Continued prayers to all affected by the horrific storms.
There will be fabulous creations today and during the entire hop, so please make sure you stop by their blogs and cheer them on.

Love the dresden tail on Mr Tom - glad you were not severally harmed by that horrible weather.
ReplyDeleteI think Mr. Turkey would be the talk of the gathering at my family's Thanksgiving dinner were he to arrive! Very popular indeed. This is such a creative idea, I love it!

That Tom is as cute as a button! Glad you were not involved in the storms, prayers to those who were.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing to make a turkey wearing a black tie ! Super cute !
ReplyDeleteI love it!!!It is so cool!!! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI love the ideas of having tissue holders for special holidays! Your turkey is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOk, so I'm the other person who was asking the same question, why black tie boogie? hehe. Thanks for clearing that up! You did a wonderful job! He looks great and his feathers (dresdens) are standing tall and colorful. Tissue covers are a nice way to add some cute decorations. Thanks for sharing, super job! Sending prayers as well to those there.

ReplyDeletevery cute... gobble gobble! lol
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhh..lol; I just love that project!! the tie just made it!!
ReplyDeleteJan, another adorable tissue box. Thanks for sharing a great project and explaining the name of the hop. I live in "tornado alley." One of my grandson's other grandmother lived around the corner from the school in Moore, OK where the children died earlier this year. I've had two tornadoes touch down 1.5 miles from my house. I was in my closet under my stairs and had two different people call me to tell me that a tornado was about 1/8 to 1/4 mi from my house. The TV station I was listening to didn't give that information. AND the two people called on my home phone not my cell phone. So, not knowing this, I got out of the closet to answer the phone. I am relieved that you are ok. I am praying for the people affected. You think this happens to someone else until ...
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating and sharing your adorable project.
I see the black tie….yes I do…you really flew with this one..totally cute .. been thinking about you all…we certainly don't be safe anywhere anymore..our winds were over 100 km….really scared us too..glad you are fine...

Thanks for sharing your cute creation.
ReplyDeleteI am in Wisconsin with friends down in the tornado areas. I am glad to hear you came through all safely.
What a wonderful idea! He is sew cute!
ReplyDeleteLol - I love the Black Tie - makes him look so handsome and so ready for the holidays. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a joy filled holiday season.
ReplyDeleteI am so incredibly late getting around for this hop---on deadline, 3 must get done soon items---but now that I am on the binding I hope to check in on all of you! Clever idea for the seasonal tom turkey tissue cover! The tornadoes? My husband's step granddaughter lives about 2 blocks away from the worst devastation in Washington. She is fine but others in the area were not as fortunate. Having seen what that looks like here in Alabama even a couple years later, it is just sad.
ReplyDeleteBought the pattern on craftsy! Can't wait to make this!
ReplyDeleteCarp ! LOL
