My daughter is not feelin’ the crocheted foods anymore, sad day. I’m giving this set of toast with fried egg and bacon to a co-worker for his little girl. It’s so dang cute, if I do say so myself. The bread is 3 layers crocheted together so it’s nice and thick.
Ah well, happy to see them passed along to the next kid for play time funs, right? Can’t keep it, I’d need another house just to fit all the stuff we’ve made over the years, lol.

awww–how sweet to pass it on! Kids love play food. Nice to know that it will have a longer life for fun for another kid!
I made a blouse from fabric I bought at a thrift store over a year ago!
But I won’t post it until I do the buttonholes, and can’t do them until my newly purchased buttonholer arrives.
one step forward, two backward?
Interestingly, I’ve been sorting through my huge stash of fabric, removing the pieces that are too small or too “meh”. So I went to make a blouse and…I hardly have any fabric that’s suitable for clothing I actually want to make. I have only 7 pieces of plainweave cotton fabric that are at least 2 yards long. 7 pieces out of hundreds of yards of “plainweave cotton fabric” in a myriad of colors and prints.
I thought I wasn’t being productive because I was lazy. Maybe not having good materials to work with is part of the equation, too. Laziness is definitely still on the table, though. And being buried in stuff I don’t need and will never use.
Destashed to a friend’s little darling, my daughter’s collection of mom-made crochet food.
She’s turning 16 & is over it. She did keep the sushi though so that’s a nice memory.
Play food was always so fun as a kid. I would have loved pretending with these.
Side note: The first time I saw a kiwifruit I was in high school! It was very exotic and we were amazed when our classmate sliced open this hairy brown thing to reveal the gorgeous inside. It is really a little miracle. Contrasting to that, I was introduced to durian shortly after I moved out here seventeen-some years ago. Feet. Rancid feet. No thank you.
Last fall I traveled back to the land of where they have large Asian grocery stores and visited 3 trying to fill TheMisterT’s “order” - he does all our cooking and loves to try all the things. ANYWAY, I grabbed a bag of durian candies and they aren’t totally awful. Kind of icky-good like stinky cheese.
