Over the weekend I played with more felt and came up with these additions to the shoebox of fun I'm making...
I promise, the box will soon be full and
I'll be past this phase and back to the
regular mumblings!
Today's quote..."When I clean my sewing room: 1% cleaning; 29% complaining, and 70% playing with stuff"
Your felt food looks edible, very fun for a little one to play chef with.
ReplyDeleteThe Watermelon Cardigan is adorable, fun link, a great gift idea.
We'll be there when our little one opens the shoebox, so perhaps we'll get to play chef too.
DeleteI love seeing your calorie free foods!
ReplyDeleteNot sure they'd taste very good, but they're fun to make!
DeleteThese have all been such great fun to see Mary Anne! Are you using a pattern or just making them up as you go.... they are very realistic! Loved that beautiful leaf artwork you linked to..... incredible work! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteI'm finding the patterns/ideas on the internet - Pinterest is definitely a treasure trove! I can't imagine the patience to stitch onto leaves....amazing.
DeleteFor a moment I thought you had started a cooking blog!
ReplyDeleteHee hee - perhaps it's time I started sharing more recipes to go along with the felt food!
DeleteLoving your no-cal food, Mary Anne. And the first link... on my. I was intrigued. Then confused (are the leaves real, I asked?). I dug deeper and yes they are! Now I'm amazed. And a tad confused again. And intrigued anew at what people find to be creative with. And what motivates them. Makes me think I should step up my creative pursuits a bit.
ReplyDeleteNo cal food - I can definitely use some more of that! At first I didn't believe the leaves were real either...amazing to think of how she does it. Wish I could be a fly on her wall and watch her process!
DeleteMA Dear your felt food looks delicious! You have created excellent felt foods. Those leaves are amazing! Oh can I relate to this quote...lol.
ReplyDeleteWell, hopefully it doesn't look TOO delicious! Don't want a little boy tempted to actually try to eat it!!
DeleteDelicious food!! I met Hollis Chatelain years ago in Houston, Texas. Her 'Blue Men' won an award that year. It's an amazing piece.
ReplyDeleteMust have been great to meet her - and see her work in person.
Deletethese are fab...so much fun! Your sewing room quote is so true...I lolled out loud!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully our littlest grandson will have fun playing with them - and we'll be there when he opens them so perhaps we'll get to play with them too!
