Peanut Butter & Felt

Happy Wednesday!  Today's whateva is something that I just made for Mr Snugglepuss (nah, I don't think he'd answer to that).  The little man loves peanut butter crackers; they're his favorite snack ever.  And, he's starting to really like playing pretend - so much so that the other day he was spreading pretend peanut butter on a coaster and told me that he's making a snack.  I've seen lots of felt food out there in bloggyland and decided to give something a try.  My first attempt is a peanut butter cracker sandwich:

Oh I love felt!  So easy to work with!  I didn't take pictures along the way because, well I just wasn't thinking!  I've only made pb cracker sandwich so far, but I was so excited with how it turned out that I had to share.  If anyone's interested in an actual tutorial, let me know and I'll write one as I make the next sammich.  I just hand-sewed everything and put a pinch of stuffing in the crackers and a little more in the blob of peanut butter.  Snugopotamus likes that they come apart so that he can 'spread' the peanut butter.  I think I might add a couple of dots of velcro to keep the sandwich together when he's not playing with it, but that's for another day ;)

Weekend Project Roundup

So last weekend I listed a few projects that I was starting, namely an Easter Rag Garland, Toddler Toolbelt and Crepe Paper Rose Balls.  So did I get everything done?  Ha!  Did I start some other random projects as inspiration struck?  Maybe :)  Did I buy waaaay too much stuff at JoAnn's?  Oh heck yeah.  So, what did I get to?  Here's my roundup:

I finished the toolbelt for my little tool guy and I think it turned out awesome.  I have lots of fabric left over, so I'm thinking of making a matching tool bag.  Here's where I got the toolbelt pattern:  http://makeitandloveit.blogspot.com/2010/02/childs-tool-belt.html  (btw, don't look too hard at my top stitching - I do not claim to be a master seamstress!!) 

I started on the Easter rag garland and I have about a foot finished...only 6 more feet to go.  I really love how it's turning out though!  Here are all the fabrics & ribbons that I'm using - that little bit off to the left side is the actual garland-in-progress:

And the crepe paper roses?  Haven't even opened my crepe paper yet.  I bought white, but I'm just not loving the idea of white rose balls.  I'm looking for something a little less, um, wedding singer.  The rose bowls will have to be on hold until I buy another color of crepe paper.

And the random projects?  I started a book wreath - time consuming, but I loooove it!  And I've been doing alot of spray painting and modge podging.  You'll have to tune in a little later this month for those reveals :)  In the eternal wisdom of Bugs Bunny...That's all for now folks!
