Picnic Food Complete

It's a small picnic. Watermelon, a PB&J sandwich, and added today...

A bag of potato chips and a juice-box. I really like the way these turned out, I think they're very cute. My little munchkin is getting super excited about the number of felt toys she's collected.

Next, I'll start work on the woven picnic basket I have planned to complete this set. I still need to finish the container for the Ice-Cream Shoppe set, but I haven't been able to find some of the supplies I've been looking for. I've been to a few smaller craft stores, with a pretty piddly selection of felt, so I need to take a drive over to the big Michael's craft store since I know they have what I need.

Peanut-Butter Jelly Time!

Today I finished the second toy from the Picnic set... peanut-butter & jelly sandwich! mmmm...

 This project conveniently coincided with day 3 of being on a diet, and I ALWAYS crave peanut-butter & jelly sandwiches when I'm dieting. It's carbs, sugar, salt and fat all in one dish. And now I'm hungry. Oh well, distracting myself with more felting!

Summertime = Watermelon

In my mind, that first slice of watermelon signals the start of summer. Sure, you can get it other times of the year, but it's not the same.  Slicing into a big crisp watermelon, and then going outside and taking that first bite...THAT is summer. Heat, sweet, vacation, lazy, juicy, delicious, watermelon. 

I haven't made it to a craft store yet to pick up the supplies I need to finish up the Ice-Cream Shoppe set, so I moved on to the Picnic set. I completely forgot to take pictures while I was making it, but here is the finished product. 1 slice of watermelon, that looks good enough to eat!

I'll admit, I cheated a bit and used fabric glue for the seeds instead of stitching them on. And I'll admit, it's because I forgot to add them until after the rest of the watermelon was finished, and it's difficult to stitch things to the outside once it's finished.

And yes, I am a bit of a dork.  Nom, nom, nom....watermelon!
