I love working with my hands,
when I became disabled I was encouraged to "make things".
Not so easy with eyes and hands that had minds of their own.
Eventually I rediscovered felt.
When I was a child I made stuffed animals from felt,
I remember having a stable of felt horses,
I wish I had kept them for my girls to play with.
Felt is so easy to work with,
the colours are bright, it doesn't fray
and it is very easy to sew with your eyes shut!!
Bella is turning 2,
I know she loves playing in the home corner at play group,
so I thought pretend food would be a good present.
Some of the ideas came from the internet,
and some are my own.
ENJOY!
Bacon and fried eggs for breakfast.
May be a salad sandwich for lunch,
or perhaps you would like ham or a drumstick with it.
A roll up made with sorj bread or wholemeal might be nice, there are so many things to put in it.
How about pasta for tea, you could eat it with tomatoes, or even cheese strips.
fancy something sweet for morning tea,
how about a sweet biscuit or a jam tart?
or may be an iced donut with sprinkles on top.
they are always good with a cup of tea.
I had so much fun making this food,
now I need to find some more "birthday children"
Until next time --- enjoy a donut!!
They look fantastic great work and patience!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous mum...nicer than the ones at the local steiner store!If you ever feel like making more Sekoya would love some..he is always cooking me up something on his stove, felt might be nicer than stones and blocks!
