I'm such a bad blogger ;( ... but at least I was on TV!

I have just been so very busy! Custom orders for everyone (well, so it seems!!) Here are a couple I have been doing:

This is a felt birthday cake for a special little girl.

A lunch for another lucky little girl!

Also, something terribly exciting happened! One of my aprons was on national TV! Yes, that's right. The story is that I bought some fabric on Ebay about 18 months ago and made a toddler apron out of it. It is really cute fabric and I e-mailed the lady I bought the fabric from with the link to the Etsy listing. Then she bought the apron. I got an e-mail a few weeks ago saying that she was going to be on TV the next day and she was taking the apron to show. The segment can be seen here. I was very surprised! If you are reading this, Janey, thank you so much! Someone did contact me to see if I could make another one and I had just enough fabric. Here it is:

Stay tuned for more custom order photos and maybe more TV appearances??

Back from our trip!

We're back from Hong Kong and school has started again, things are back to normal (well, normal for us, anyway!) We had a great time and the kids loved Disneyland, though it was crowded and we waited a long time for most rides. We did some shopping also and just enjoyed the sights. Hopefully I'll go back again before too long.

There's some more exciting news! My fun felt foods will be available in a gorgeous shop called Retrospections right here in Sydney! The address is 498a Miller Street Cammeray and the shop opens on the 5th of May. Do check it out if you can...

Here are a few pics of stuff I've made recently:

Another new item!

Finally I have made another ice cream cone set! I had wanted to for a while but didn't have time so here it is. I love the velcro bits so that kids can play ice cream parlor too!

New item! Who wants Tacos??

Just finished and listed this cute little velcro-together taco for my shop. I think I've got a velcro fetish or something. Everything I make I think - how could velcro improve this? Hmmm, is there an AA equivalent for velcro and felt food addiction? Anyone with a phone number for this service, please let me know! ;)

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 Market tote in store - Winter Vegetables!

I loved creating these cute little veggies for my Etsy shop! They all come in a little calico tote bag that I used the overlocker to make - too easy! There's a cauliflower, a button squash, 3 carrots, 2 mushrooms, 1 brown onion, 1 bulb of garlic and a beet with a bendy stem. I often come up with the ideas for these items as I'm drowsily putting my younger one, Isla to bed. It keeps me from drifting off to sleep as well...

New item on Etsy!

With Isobel's school Open Day on today, I wasn't able to do much, but I did list this fun set of felt veggies on Etsy:

New items in Madeit.com.au!

Just added a few more goodies at The Felt Grocer shop on Madeit.com.au! Here's some photos:
