Today's Birthday Giveaway is after the post, scroll down, you'll get there.
This project has been a very long time in the making. Originally it was one of the gifts of a fourth birthday extravaganza that was scaled way down after a week long family emergency that kept the set from being completed. I even sat in the hospital with an injured toddler stitching felt food by nightlight but just couldn't make this deadline.
Months and months later, I think that my own birthday is the right time to give the littles in my house their play set. Lucky for them, the extra time of hiding in the craft room has expanded the set to include all sorts of neat extras.
Have a look!
Can't get baking without cracking a few eggs first
Meringues and tarts
Sugar Cookies
Donuts
Fortune Cookies
And apron to match tomorrow's surprise play-set finish.
Seriously, come back tomorrow to see how this set all fits together. I kid you not, it's going to be super.
And now for today's Birthday Week Giveaway-A-Day!
Rules: Follow me and leave a comment letting me know. Bonus entry tell me your favorite project you've ever made or received as a gift or anything else on your mind.
Fabulous Prize for today!?! A vintage button and pearly beaded bracelet, perfect for Valentines Day or a little winter pizazz (or if you indulge in Victorian reenactment or think of yourself as the Ms Havisham of accessories, which I often do).
Remember, comments will be open through the week so you can enter until Friday on any post.

These are some incredibly cute and tasty looking little pastries and I love that you honored the role of the egg in the whole process!
