What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?
“This course was instrumental in helping me organize my space as well as my time. As a busy mom, I have a better grasp on what my days need to include so that I can enjoy my family rather than spend my time spinning my wheels cleaning up after everyone.”
“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”
“I am pretty sure I have solved more issues with the seven layers and clarity tool than I have in 6 months of therapy!! I think this course is going to help much more than my home. Thanks Amy!!!!”
When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

too easy with the shearing scissors and then just a few stitches to pucker them up, and super cute!
I found this. It is great for a beginner like myself.

I made several of the same things you've made for my niece last Christmas. Another that I love is the donut tutorial at Skip to My Lou. Not a food we eat much of, but so cute when done in felt.
I'm working on the same project!
I made my son an unbelievably cute kitchen for Christmas. I too am working on filling it with felt goodies. Here are some tutorials I've found.
Typing felt food tutorial into youtube comes back with a tutorial for a fish and pizza.
http://ikatbag.blogspot.com/ has tutorials for apples, potatoes, carrots, strawberries, pea pods.
Skip to My Lou has a tutorial for a sack lunch.
I have a tutorial for corn on the cob. http://cupkateer.blogspot.com/2009/08/felt-corn-stalks.html
If you don't mind paying a few buck. Bugabugs on etsy has some seriously cute patterns. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5652976&ga_search_query=buggabugs&ga_search_type=seller_usernames
Ha Ha! I'd rather be addicted to making felt food than addicted to eating felt food! The stuff is adorable, your kids will LOVE it! Be prepared for lots of pretend meals!
What a fantastic idea!!!! They would be so easy to clean too!
We are doing the SAME thing! In fact I have a date to make food with my mom tomorrow. If you look at http://kari-youcanmakeit.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-obsession-felt-food.html you will be amazed with the number of items she has.
Cool. I used some of your ideas for our Halloween party this past weekend. I'll post some pics in a bit.
I love this idea..and no calorie too, wow how great is that?! They are so cute, so much better than plastic and made by Mom, even better. I love the wooden play things too…they'll have hours of fun with that. Thanks for the visit..come say hi :D
I notice someone commented on my favorite~ Ikatbag.blogspot.com I'm making her felt cake for my daughter for Christmas. ;D
I haven't thought of doing these for Christmas! What a great idea! I had better go out & get some felt. Thanks!
I've come across a ton of felt food patterns on blogs, but before I really got into checking out blog tutorials I just searched through things on Etsy and I found an endless supply of felt food ideas there too. I looked so long on there one day at so many felt food things that I literally haven't seen a new idea for felt food in a long time. Ha. Far too much time on Etsy that day. Anyway, since you already know the basic idea for howw to sew it, I suggest just poking around on Etsy for a while. You will find more than you could make (or use) in a lifetime. :)
I started my own set of food this weekend for my little guy. They are so easy and turn out super cute!
if you're comfortable winging it on your own…i just searched it under google image and printed up all my inspiration – moderate inspiration, they're are some crazy talented people out there – and got started…things like pita pockets and pizza and the cutest donuts every. super easy and i'm a sewing novice to the extreme. good luck. becky
Love your site! I pinned your felt food to my felt craft themed “felt so good” board. I’d love to follow you if you are on Pinterest.
