Look whats new!

I have received a letter from SWEP this week

that is the government department who have to approve 

my wheel chair application.

The good news is the chair has been approved,

BUT

the bad news is that I have to find $13000,

and the wait is at least 9 months!

I think it will probably be even longer, they are so far behind.

I have been waiting for continence stuff  since August 1st, 

it is now November 17, usually I only wait 2-3 weeks, 

if they are that far behind with simple things, 

I guess something as complex as a power chair, is going to take forever.

Oh well, disability teaches you to be patient.

To keep me occupied, and help fund the chair,

I have decided to sell my felt food.

This is the new offering --

"Afternoon tea for two".

in a shinny spotted box, you will find - 

a selection of yummy jam biscuits,

heart sugar cookies, 

two large donuts with sprinkles,

and of course two tea bags, these ones are orange

and green tea.

As usual everything is made by hand,

and is safe for little ones.

My two testers are Bella and Sekoya, 

I am assured they love playing with my food.

It can be washed carefully, 

and it is practically indestructible, 

unless you feed it to the dog!!

If anyone is interested in any of my food,

you can reach me [hopefully],

at this address ----

anneandmidnight@hotmail.com

if you look further back in my blog,

you will find more of my food.

Enjoy!

FOOD?

As you can see, I have been sewing again,.

This time it is for my little grandson.

I have a bit of a problem -- he is a vegetarian,

most of the food he eats is shades of brown.

I have done my best, so here it is --

Vegetables of course,

there is tomato, onion,lettuce,lovely orange carrots

 funny little mushrooms that I am rather pleased with,

and broccoli which is hiding at the top.

*************

Here is the brown bread, two sorts of cheese,

fried eggs

and of course peanut butter for a sandwich.

**********

Feel like a pita bread pizza?

this one has tomato, white cheese and basil.

It is cut into four pieces to share.

***********

Fancy some tofu?

nice to eat with tomato, onion and broccoli.

I had trouble getting the colour of soft-fried tofu

so I soaked the felt in tea, for a couple of days 

and it came out perfect. 

Shame my photos aren't a better colour!

***********

Fancy a snack with your herbal tea?

You could try an orange-choc donut, a P.B. tart,

a choc bikkie, or if you want something savoury, how about some 

biscuits and cheese?

I love making felt food, 

believe it or not, I find it helps me to relax,

I can sew it with my eyes shut!

I have a large collection of patterns now, 

it is addictive, 

part of the fun, is thinking up new things to make.

Maybe I might try and sell some, 

the money could go towards my new wheel chair.

Tomorrow I think I am going to find out the cost,

I know it is going to be a lot,

but,

I will have to wait and see.

Sleep well!
