Felt Snacks

There has been a lull in my felt addiction and I thought I'd lost the craving.  However like all savoury snacks all it took was one little cracker and then I couldn't stop ....

I wanted to create some picnic food and searched my other addiction 'Pinterest' to find tutorials and came across detailed instructions.  I used this more for inspiration than to follow it literally.  Mainly because I didn't have any wadding and couldn't be bothered to pin out all the dimples.  I then thought that cheese triangles would be easy and I had a surplus of deep yellow felt.  There are only so many egg yolks a girl can make!  

Racking my brains for other easy picnic foods I decided on a sausage roll ... easy you might think.  Not so for this needle challenged crafter.  I seem unable to make anything cylindrical as my attempt at a cooked sausage proved.  Luckily my grandchildren are not yet sophisticated or talented enough to criticise my sewing ability (I am sure it will come).  The sausage roll needs some improvement and is exceptionally large but perhaps it's a snack for all the family .. in fantasy land it can be anything I want it to be.

By this time I'm getting quite carried away with the whole food thing and decide that baking will be easy and for once I was right.  It didn't take long to create a baguette freehand.  All bread is individualistic and rustic and mine is no exception. After the first creation I altered the design and who knows what the next batch will be like.

Every picnic needs a cuppa and therefore a Tea bag was a necessity.  One bag should be sufficient for the pot and by now I need a rest ... and perhaps a picnic!

Next time I need to add a few sweet treats and I know there are ample examples out there to inspire me.  I'm thinking cookies and doughnuts ....................
