A Few Thanksgiving Dinner Items

 Halloween has come and gone, November has arrived, and Thanksgiving is around the corner.  I'd say it's about time for a few Thanksgiving Dinner minis!

As you can see in the pictures, there is a succulent turkey, fresh pumpkin pie, and a golden platter of cranberry sauce.  Mmm! 



All items listed on Etsy.



A Tasty Meal

This cold and rainy weather makes me hungry for some more warm turkey dinner! It has been challenging lately because I use natural light to take pictures of my miniatures--and overcast days like these make for poor quality pictures.

Regardless, I was able to get a few pictures of my miniature Thanksgiving dinner a week or two ago. Everything is handmade except for the silverware.

Turkey!

Gobble-Gobble

Anyone need a turkey? These little fellows visited us all summer long... but now they are in hiding for obvious reasons.

Thanksgiving is always one of my favorite times of the year. There are no excuses for me to not take the time to stop and think about what I am really grateful for. As usual, my list is endless this year. I am especially thankful for the opportunity to make and share my miniatures in numerous ways.

I would like to extend my thanks to a few people who have helped me particularly with Tweety Petie Products (among other things)... to my mom and dad, to my brothers and sisters, to my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, to my nieces, to my relatives, to my friends, to my customers, to my supporters, to my followers, and (last but not least) to two people who have changed my life forever: Cassandra and Tish.

It is an incredible experience to see my blog grow especially during the past few weeks. My followers make all the difference for me here on blogger. So thank you for all your encouragement and inspiration! It means so much. I cannot put into words the gratitude I feel to each and every one of you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! More Thanksgiving mini-goodies are to follow.

Hershey Chocolate Cake

Recently my mom gave me Hershey's 100th Anniversary recipe book to look at. The cover of the book pictured a delicious chocolate cake with cream and raspberries on top! I instantly knew I wanted to imitate it in miniature, so I finally did! Here is the real cake (all rights reserved to Hershey):

I sculpted cake after cake, but I finally broke the monotony and made some other odds and ends. Making mini cakes can be extremely fun, but just as hard!

A family of turkeys has been visiting us for the past three mornings very faithfully. Along with two adult turkeys (presumably the parents) were five precious little baby turkeys! They almost look like ducks. Today they visited us twice. They are attracted by the seeds that drop from our two backyard bird feeders. While they ate, I was able to take pictures of them.
