Giveaway Winner Update

Marci was the winner of my very first giveaway. I was very happy when she replied so quickly! Marci selected the American Pancake Breakfast Set as her prize. This is the email she sent after receiving the package.

"I usually receive my mail about dinner time. So when I received your package I decided to put your food on play plates at the dinner table. The girls thought it was GREAT! Mommy they said we can't eat this and we all started laughing. They LOVE their food!

Thank You so very much!

BTW: I love the way you package it up too!

Marci"

Thank you for your kind words, Marci. I'm so glad your girls are enjoying the set!

To kick off a new year and a new shop, I'm holding a giveaway!
I started making felt play food for my little girl and then a friend asked me to do a craft show for her.
I had some leftover sets after the show, so I decided to put them up on Etsy. They all sold right away! Since then I have been coming up with new ideas for felt play food and having fun making all the patterns. The best things in life just pop up out of the blue and I love creating felt play food!

Your item of choice up to $15!

American Pancake Breakfast Set

2010-01-19T18:48:00.000-08:00

An American classic! Two pancakes, one patch of syrup, one pad of butter, one strip of curly bacon, one sausage link, and two fried eggs. This set makes me happy!
Being a vegetarian, I don't mind having the meat used as veggie meat. If you do, I will substitute it for something else. An extra pancake, strawberries, etc.

Felt Chinese Egg Rolls with Sweet & Sour Sauce

2010-01-02T20:53:00.000-08:00

Another great play food item to add to your Asian Cuisine set! These felt egg rolls are wrapped just like you would get them from a Chinese restaurant. A felt sweet and sour cup goes along with this set of two egg rolls.

Felt Chinese Take Out Lo Mein Set

2010-01-02T20:48:00.000-08:00

This is my favorite set so far! I made this felt Chinese take out box. I made a set with shrimp or tofu lo mein (carrots, red pepper, and cabbage as well!) and a fortune cookie. I have an Asian Cuisine section in my Etsy shop for additional items to go with this set! I just love it.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries - Felt Play Food

2009-12-21T18:19:00.000-08:00

I made a few of these strawberries and I love my take on the seeds. They look the most realistic to me! Then I was given an idea from my sister of making a chocolate coating, and I went from there. For pretend play you can use just the strawberries or you can "dip" them in the chocolate and have chocolate covered strawberries!
Made entirely with Eco-Fi recycled felt from post-consumer plastic bottles, is approx. 1 1/2", and is hand stitched.

Crab Rangoon and Sweet & Sour Sauce -Felt Play Food

2009-12-21T16:16:00.000-08:00

When I thought of making felt crab rangoon play food, I got straight to work! I filled them with fiberfill before I stitched them up. Probably my favorite item so far! I made a little cup for the sweet and sour sauce.
Crab rangoon is made with acrylic felt and is approx. 1 1/4" top to bottom. Sweet and sour sauce cup is made with Eco-Fi recycled felt from post-consumer plastic bottles and is approx 1" high.

Penna and Farfalle (bowtie) Felt Pasta

2009-12-21T16:05:00.000-08:00

I love pasta! The idea of putting together a pretend meal, in a toy pot, is so charming! There are so many pretend meals that can be made with some basic pasta shapes.

I just love this felt penne pasta. It's about 1 1/2 inches in length and completely hand stitched. I angled the edges on either side, exactly like real penne. I use acrylic felt for this one because the color is perfect. It is called "Champagne".

Bow-tie pasta makes me think about summer picnics. I like to use the tri-color farfalle in my pasta to give it a gorgeous color. These are also about 1 1/2 inches long and hand stitched. Made with green and ivory Eco-Fi recycled felt and gold acrylic felt.
