I'm amazed by how many Google hits I'm getting on my posts about felt food. I wish I had more felt food to show for it! Maybe by Christmas. There are some yet-to-be photographed yummies in my craft room, but I thought I'd also write a roundup of other felt food sources.
By the way, I also feel badly when people Google "penny carnival game ideas" and stumble on me. My explanation for why I named my blog this is here. I really should write a roundup of penny carnival games, though. Oh, great. I just typed penny carnival games so many times even more people will be led astray. Oops. Did it again.
This list is in no way exhaustive (do you see that it's being posted at 3:30 4 a.m.?), so please leave comments with your favorite links.

I can't find what you're talking about. Post a link. I'm intrigued. Does it require paper or plastic?

That's awesome. I've seen a similar concept for making large grocery shopping bags, but I haven't seen the lunch sack idea. You guys should carry them in your stores (sans the Safeway logo, of course).

I usually serve mine the day I make it, hot from the oven with brown rice,
and a steamed vegetable of my choice with a little soy sauce on the rice
and veggies for flavor. Have you tried cooking octopus sous vide? And if I were to try doing it what settings would you recommend?
