Baker's Half-dozen cookies
Just made these as a custom order for my shop. I had fun embroidering the "ARROWROOT" on the milk arrowroot biscuit and I love making macaroons with the little pom poms, and the chocolate cream cookie. They remind me of my childhood in Japan. I think they look pretty realistic...

New and Improved Chip Package...
I LOVE inkjet-printable fabric! I just improved my potato chip package to go with my felt sub sandwich. I think it looks SO much more professional... I am hoping to make more in the way of packages of felt foods so that kids can have them in their pretend shops and kitchens. I feel the need to replace those cardboard and plastic food sets that are everywhere with felt!

Watermelon, veggies and pasta Mach 2
Here are the finished articles I began making in my last post. They are for Shanna at Baby Wears Prada, an exciting website launching soon. I hope her little girl loves them and that you do too!

Felt watermelon and pasta - what a combo!
Here's what I've been making the last couple of days as a sample:
Felt watermelon slice and some tri-color pasta bowties in a bag (ok, the bag isn't made yet...) but the idea is there. Also, I had a nice surprise when I used Electric Quilt inkjet-printable fabric sheets to make "labels" for the packages I'm hoping to make for my felt foods. Check them out! Is the clip-art too lame? I'm just not that great at drawing...

New "Subway" Sandwich made from Felt!!
Here it is, the latest in my crazy line of Felt Food Toys! The 6-inch subway which velcros together. Has lettuce, cheese, pastrami and pickles and comes with the plate and a bag of ruffled "potato chips". Lots of fun - I should make one for myself!!

Got a Treasury West
Ok, so I was watching Law and Order while Treasury was counting down... so I came up with this:
Well, I thought it was cute - especially the Playmobil Policewoman Brooch by nakedtile

New Toddler Apron in store
Check the cute and bright retro print on this apron! I found a curtain on Ebay a couple of months back and immediately thought of aprons! Again, I have used the Thermoweb Fusible Vinyl (gee I love this stuff!) My models are hamming it up, as usual!

School holidays are supposed to be creating time!!
But for me, I seem to be busier than ever. But hey, it's fun spending time with my girls. My car also died on the weekend (darn fuel pump!) but we have it back now - thank goodness.
I just listed a super circle skirt made from a vintage tablecloth - I love making these! I have a couple of new cloths so I'll be making more of these for sure!

Just finished! My Lambs Pride cardigan!
YAY! I have finished it - and it took less time than I thought it would because the yarn was so bulky. The shade is Forest Shadows tonal and it was a miracle I had two matching buttons also. What do you think?
