Felt Play-Food Tutorials, Patterns, Ebooks, and More!
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!

Ginny makes the best pies in the world! When I married her son I knew that one way I could make his heart happy would be to learn to make pies as good as his mama. Now this was difficult for me because Ginny makes her pie crust from scratch. No refrigerated dough for her! It has been a long journey, but now I can make a pie crust almost as good as hers. This pattern is more difficult than any design I have created thus far, but it will be worth the effort. Just like making the real pies! Practice makes perfect.
As the holidays approach, I have been busy sewing up turkey dinners for my children, nieces, and nephews. I have had so much fun coming up with my holiday menu for my felt food! Memories of past holiday dinners have been flooding my mind as I have been sewing these past few days. As I “stuffed” turkey legs with polyfil, I remembered the year my son Dane (then age three) requested one of the legs off of the turkey. I started to explain that turkey legs were much bigger than the chicken legs he was used to eating, but his grandpa promptly carved off a leg and placed it on his plate. Was Dane happy! I made my cranberry sauce look just like the congealed disc that my Nanny would slide out of the can, slice into sections, and serve quivering on my plate right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy. So–on to sewing up a mound of mashed potatoes with gravy dripping down the sides! As well as turkey legs, cranberry sauce, and mashed potatoes and gravy, I made some green beans (got to have something green!), and a slice of pumpkin pie for dessert.
