Felt Food 2

Here is evidence that making felt food is addictive:

Eggs

 Doughnut

Alright, I haven't done as much as you would think, but I have a mountain of felt after TWO trips to the craft shop (on consecutive days), and I was working on handsewing the doughnut until midnight last night.  I did most of the work on my sewing machine - which means that I have now learnt to change the thread!  It sounds so simple but when it comes to following instructions it seems that I try to make them more complicated then they actually are.

The strange thing is that I might not have put as much effort in if these had been for me, but because they are for my DD I wanted them to look good.  The irony is that she won't care if they are rubbish or not.  I put this down to parents wanting to provide things for their kids that they didn't have...I think I must have wanted some pretend food, but never had any.  Certainly I remember doing role-play type cooking, but I didn;t have any cooker or food or anything.  In fact I recall having nothing but a few cardboard boxes, paper, crayons and my imagination.  I hope that I can foster an imagination in DD too and these creations don't prescribe anything.  You see, I am a worrying new mum aren't I?
