Bacon, Eggs, and Ham

Bacon

Eggs

Ham

Considering I don't have a sewing machine this craft project went rather well, last night I produced a bacon and egg breakfast.

The medium simple; all it took was some felt, yarn, and a large needle.

My ultimate goal is to make several different "felt food dinners", the alphabet, and some numbers.
