Felt Pizza, Felt Salad, and more

I have been working on a new range of felt play food including felt pizza, wraps, salad and meatballs and spaghetti.  The idea is that there will be enough felt food for 3 or 4 dishes in each set and the food can be interchange between the dishes to encourage imaginative and creative play.

My little munchkin made the perfect tester.  He had a great time cooking,  feeding himself, feeding the family and creating delicious and fun food.

Seafood week

Or the bet I lost....
Hubby and I had to go to the dentist for check ups (or so I thought).  So sure was I that I was just having a clean and didn't need any work that I made a bet with him. The one who needed the most dental work lost.  If he lost he was cleaning toilets and bathrooms for the week.  If I lost I would cook seafood for a week.  Guess what?  I needed a filling and I lost!

So this week has been seafood week.  It isn't that I don't like seafood, it is the smell that I don't like and preparing shellfish, shelling prawns etc.
Monday night we had garlic prawns (thanks middle munchkin for peeling them for me!).

Tuesday and Wednesday nights we had seafood chowder.  I made so much it lasted for two nights (is that cheating?)

I got the recipe from here except used leeks, bacon, coconut milk instead of cream and fresh marinara mix.  It was delicious!
Tonight I am cooking Thai Fish Cakes.

Oh, yum, they look delicious!
I am enjoying the cooking and we are all enjoying the eating.  Damn shame though that I still have those bathrooms to clean!

Now on Facebook

Creative Wishes now has its very own page on facebook. 

Please come along and visit and if you want you can like my page.  I am still nutting out this facebook lark. Actually finding it a tad confusing but people have been asking (and suggesting it would be a good idea) if I have a facebook page for Creative Wishes.
So anyway it is there for those who wish to look.
Now the sun is shining and it is way too nice of a day to be here on the computer.  I am off to soak up some vitamin D.

Cloth Books

Amongst all this mess this week I did manage to finish a cute childrens book with this lovely page - I for Inside.  The windows and door open for a sneak inside the cute little house.
