A different sort of food…

I’ve been making a different sort of food for my baby, Squeaky.*

Felt foodShe enjoys playing with her felt food! I bought the pattern from UMe Crafts on Etsy. Squeaky loves playing with them. I think her favorite is the pumpkin.

They were really easy to make. The pattern is written for those who sew by hand. I do have a sewing machine, but have opted for sewing these by hand for the most part. I may try using a machine as I increase her collection of felt food.

So far I’ve made the tomato, pumpkin (the pattern author says it’s supposed to be green pumpkin, but I don’t have enough green felt, for one thing and for another thing, I’d rather make an orange pumpkin), eggplant (the Hubby calls it a purple pear. Thanks, hon!) and yellow squash. I still have more veggies to make.

The other missionary kids came over last week and their three-year-old was SUPER disappointed to leave the felt veggies behind when she had to go home. I think I know what will make her happy for her birthday or Christmas, whichever comes first.

* not her real name. Obviously.
