Last spring I purchased the Little Crickets mailbox pattern. Well, I have just now gotten around to making it! The pattern includes more than just the mailbox (with working flag!). Also included are a shipping box, mail bag, envelopes, stamps, cookies, and shortbread.
I really like my finished mailbox! I'm not into pink (and I have a daughter and a son), so I change the coloring of the mailbox's details to better fit our family. I also made it gray, but only because I didn't have white felt on hand, and I wanted to make the mailbox sooner than later! You might notice my lettering is a bit different than in the other photo. I would have enjoyed purple lettering with a green blanket stitch, but wanted to use what I had (again), so I went with blue lettering accented in the pink blanket stitch. Though the pattern includes letters, for this I had fun just cutting them out myself. I have not yet made the rest of the items to go with the mailbox. Soon, right?

I really like the
Felt Food Breakfast Pattern - BREAKFAST TREATS
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38648139
My favourite would have to be fruit. Encouraging healthy eating and all that, but still fun. If it was just me, I'd pick cakes of course.

Yay! I guessed it was a mailbox too!
The mailbox is probably my favorite, but I also love the fruits or veggies. Very cute (and affordable) patterns!

I think my favorite was the sandwich. I love that it has the brown bag and everything. Though the mailbox is a close second.
