Time for a tea party! Serve your little ones these miniature cupcakes for a special treat! These designs do not require much felt or time. You can whip up a baker’s dozen in no time!
Every Valentine’s Day we celebrate by inviting our friends over for a tea party. The table is decorated with our pink and white china plates, our red table cloth, and red and pink carnations. Each mommy friend brings delicious desserts and finger foods for the children to try. We enjoy serving our children as they listen to classical music and enjoy each other’s company.
My little ones love to have tea parties. It is always fun for my children to pick out their favorite tea from the assortment of teas in our big, red tea box. After steeping their selected tea in their cups it is a delight for me to hear their good manners as they say please and thank you as the sugar and cream is passed from child to child. These teabags can be used over and over again and never lose their flavor.
Each spring we head over to our local strawberry farm to handpick red, ripe strawberries. We walk up and down the rows with buckets in our hands and visions in our minds of. . . strawberry shortcake, strawberry preserves, strawberry pie, strawberry ice cream. . .
Let the picking (I mean sewing) begin!
I used my Gram’s tin heart cookie cutter to create the pattern for this project. Every time I use her cookie cutters, I think of her busy hands creating something delicious for us in her cozy kitchen. Do you have a special cookie cutter passed on to you from a previous generation? Use the felt cookies you make for your children to tell stories about their heritage. I love sharing stories with my children about my German great-grandmother and our trips to her home in Rochester, New York.

I have been creating toys from wool felt for my children for several years and love working with needle and thread to make homemade toys for those I love. I spend many hours in my kitchen cooking for those same little people and hope to pass to them my love for family closeness around the dinner table. Felt food has helped combine my love for cooking, sewing, and making toys for my children.
I hope you will enjoy the process as much as I have. New designs will be added regularly, so visit often to see what’s new!

I love to grow green beans with my children in the summertime! We usually plant them along the kitchen garden fence or sometimes plant them around a tee- pee we make with bamboo poles. They grow quickly and are so much fun to pick! We snap off the ends together while we sit on the front porch swing and then wash and put them in a cooking pot. The children really enjoy eating their veggies when they grow them in their own backyard.
A sure hit with everybody!
Comfort food doesn’t get any better than this.
I have wonderful memories of enjoying holiday meals at my Nanny’s house. She always served cranberry sauce with her roast turkey on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Nanny would slide the cranberry sauce out of the can, slice it into sections, and serve it on a crystal plate. Now my children can serve up a slice of cranberry sauce next to their holiday felt foods too. (On their plastic plates of course!)
One Thanksgiving when my son Dane was three we were all seated around the table at Grandpa’s house. The beautiful roasted turkey was placed in the center of the table for all to see. Dane pointed to one of the turkey legs and asked if he could have it. I started to protest, but his Grandpa sliced off the leg and placed it on Dane’s plate. Dane was so happy and I believe he ate it all up!
