Your favorite Etsy sellers for felt food?

Also, can an uncrafty mama learn to make her own? I do cross-stitch, but that's the extent of my craftiness. I would love to make some felt food for DD on my own if it is something relatively easy and inexpensive (since DH wouldn't be thrilled if I bought a lot of materials and ended up with little to show) to learn. Any suggestions?

DD's favorite play food is felt, so I want to get her some more for Christmas. I got her a fruit set from Ikea that she likes somewhat. But by far, her favorites are an ice cream and pancake set from this etsy seller:

Since the variety in this shop is limited, I'd like to find more, but am daunted by the number of hits that come up when searching. So where can I find great felt food for a two year old?

Making felt food really isnt that hard. Flikr has a group with felt food photos. There are some free patterns out there, just google. You can whip stitch the seams, or use a blanket stitch, or cross your stitches. Go to Joanns or another craft store and just start with a couple sheets of their 8x10 felt, in whatever colors you need. (Also, check the reminant bin) To give you an idea, a head of lettuce would probably take a whole green sheet, but a carrot would only use a 1/4 or so, so you'd be able to get another orange fruit or veg out of that too. Get pink and green to make a water melon slice, etc. The easiest foods are flat (eggs, bacon, lettuce leaves, cheese slice, etc) also, conical foods that are one peice rolled (carrot) or peices made with flat parts (slice of watermelon, block of cheese, bread/tortillas, etc) The hardest are the round foods (apple, orange, etc) which are easier to make with a pattern and sewing machine, but not impossible by hand if you are artistic/spatial enough!

We have a variety of the plan toys wooden one (very nice quality) and their breakfast set. I can recommend both if you are open to wood.
