Day 4 Blogtoberfest - My Creative Space

I am one of those people who likes to keep busy, so I always carry a project I can work on in my purse. Although it's the school holidays, the children have had an hour and twenty minutes of swimming lessons each morning, so I have been working on finishing up some felt strawberries and blueberries.

I might have also finished a lamington...

or tim tam or two:)

Hope you are getting lots done in your creative space this week, little or big:) To see what others have been up to be sure to vist My Creative Space. Cyndy Pin It

Anzac Day and Felt Food

As part of our Anzac day activities the kids and I made Anzac biscuits using a friend's family recipe - yummy! I've been working on another batch of Anzac biscuits - felt ones!

I have become a little bit obsessed with felt food. It's so easy to make and it's a great project to bring along when I know there will be wait time (e.g. swimming lessons, doctors appointments). In researching felt food on the internet I have been struck though by how homogenized it is - I haven't seen much that takes into account some of our Aussie favorites, hence my attempt to make Anzac biscuits and pavlova...

and tim tams...

and lamingtons...

Are you sensing a theme here? Why is it that desserts/sweets make the best felt food? OK, I have made a salad sandwich which is a little generic, but I did put beetroot on it:)

If you are thinking about making felt food there is lots of help and inspiration on the internet here and here  and a flickr pool here. I also just read a  review of a new book  (haven't see the actual book) called Big Little Felt Universe at Feeling Stitchy that looks like it has lots of great info. Cyndy
