 | I cannot really call these pork and beans because I forgot to add that big ole slab of pork that is typically found in the southern style of preparation. Maybe next time...
|
 | Every once in a while, I am really thrilled with my final product. This was my first attempt at making sweet pickle relish that was used for my picnic scene.
|
 | Getting my bread to look just right took a few million attempts. This is made from translucent Sculpey and colored with just a pinch of Dollar Tree yellow chalk mixed in. But the secret to getting that texture? Semolina! Those of you who make homemade pasta know what that is. (Does anybody in our group really do that?)

 | Enjoy a hot breakfast accompanied by coffee and fresh orange juice. A lovely rose and the Wall Street Journal add an extra touch.
|
 | These are fun to make! Take small bits of fabric, suede or suede paper, then add some tiny jewelry findings and you have a purse for your little belongings!
|
 | There are some things I won't do too often - this is one of them. Making potato chips took tedious to a whole new level. Chip bags were courtesy of Pam several years ago.

|
 | This was my first complete food scene - all the fixings for a summertime picnic, including paper plates, cups and cutlery. Only one thing missing - the ants!
|
 | Take a few beads, bead caps, eye pins, cabonchon settings and glue them together, slap on some labels, and you've got some perfume trays for m'lady's vanity. The bath baskets are made from card stock and cross stitch fabric.
