Felt Food Fanatic/Play kitchen junkie

Ok, I seriously do not know what is wrong with me. I really do not have an addictive personality or anything but yet I am sitting here, after making 2 trips to Walmart and a trip to ACMoore, surrounded by felt! Yes, you read correctly, felt! Recently, I decided Olivia needed a play kitchen. Mind you, she is only 15 months and probably doesn't know what a kitchen is, but she needed one. And no a plastic one would not cut it. I had to research craiglist and ebay hunting down a kitchen that I could customize- think "Pimp My Kitchen"....after many weeks of searching, I found a perfect one. And after driving over an hour to NJ to pick it up from some (nice!) woman's garage, after 3 cans of spray paint, drilling a sink hole, buying all new hardware, 4 coats of chalkboard paint, a new back splash, making shelving, labeling all of the doors....it is finally complete! And super cute, I might add! Well onto the latest- food. Olivia now has kitchen (which mind you she can not reach the countertop- oh well) the girl needs food! Again, I started researching AND purchasing Melissa and Doug wooden food....and it is A LOT of money! I turned to the next best (read: cutest) thing..felt food. Ok, now this is not the cheapest option either but it is something I think I may be able to since Drew said no power tools for creating my own food wood- grr! You know what...my sewing machine is calling my name....I'll have to update with the play kitchen debacle another day....
