The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
Welcome
My name is Gabrielle Blair. I'm a designer and mother of six. We're currently living in a farmhouse in the French countryside. It is dreamy as can be. I post on where design and motherhood intersect.

We've used our base in France to do lots of traveling. It's addictive! Here are some of our adventures:
A trip to Amsterdam.
Canoeing on the Dordogne River.
A Belgian Waffle Tour.
A wintery visit to Cologne.
Three cheers for Barcelona!
The tulip fields in Holland.
We saw the final match of the French Open.
One of our favorite spots is Mont St. Michel.
I wonder where we'll wander next! To see more of our travels, click here.

Owner of Makes and Takes is a friend of mine, I love her fun easy craft ideas. These felt ideas are so fun and great for the kids to play with as there is no worry of lead.
My daughter is looking with me right now. She wants everything you’ve shared. Thanks for inspiring us to make something new together!
felt food really is adorable!
I have a special place in my heart for pretend food. The shrimp and pasta are my favorite!
Thanks for linking to my blog. My two little ones love pretending to munch on their gingerbread men. Now I think I need to make some shrimp – they are too cute!
My wonderful mother-in-law made felt and fabric food for my son for his birthday last year. We went off a menu of foods he loves, and included pancakes with syrup, assemble-your-own pizza, tortilla chips and salsa, spaghetti, cookies, and more. I love it and I love that it was made with love!
Lindsey! Thanks for the link love. I am loving all the other creations out there. That Shrimp Pasta is to die for! All that food is making me hungry for the real stuff… off the the real kitchen.
i have felt food dream plans too!
They are all so cute, my favorite is the breakfast.
That breakfast with the little smiley faces is perfect!
This is great timing, as I want to get Jane some more play food for her 2nd birthday. I’ll need to check them out more, since I kind of only like to buy 100% wool felt products.
I guess I could make my own – but then they’d have to be for her 3rd birthday ….
We have the toast and the egg from pinakoala…my son loves them.
Thanks for the post and all of the links. I have been dying to make some felt food for a while now, I just can’t decide where to get started.
So, funny story… I was looking around at felt food, looking for some new inspiration, and stumbled across… *my own veggies!*
This made my day! Thanks so much for featuring my food! I’m working on a tutorial!!

WOW, This is so nice. You are very creative.
I love your felt food! Maybe some of you could let me know about what you think of my felt food website! Thanks! My Felt Food .com
The felt food sandwich is great! By the way – I looked at the My Felt Food website in the above comment – it has some cool patterns too! :) Cheers!
Oh my gosh those little shrimp made me laugh out loud. So clever!
I love felt food but I am not really the crafty type, I bought a kit by the popcorn tree, at a local farmers market in AZ. The muffin kit was awesome everything was included and I didn’t even have to cut out patterns, you should check them out.
oh yeah thier website is http://www.thepopcorntree.com
Francine, FYI American Felt and craft, http://www.feltandcraft.com sells Popcorn Tree kits, and some nice felt too!
I’m in love with felt food as is my 3 and 5 year olds! Thanks for the info on felt food kits! Just purchased the lunch kit by the popcorn tree it looks adorable!
I am a felt food addict too! lol, I turned my obsession into crafting easy patterns. My favorite is my felt vegetables and felt fruit because it was so challenging making them look somewhat realistic!
OMG I fell in love with this the minute I saw it. Thank you to all the wonderful creative people who shared this
I'd like to thank you for posting all the information you have on Felt Food. I just read an article in our local paper (Minnepolis Star Tribune) about making felt food and I am going to start now to make quite a stash for my niece who will be 2 years old next Christmas and I know this is going to be a hit!!
