When I cleaned out my office, I rearranged a bit and liberated a little bookshelf from the cats’ sun parlor. Which thrilled me because it gave me what I needed for a project that’s been on my mind since Ellie turned two.

A Mud Pie Kitchen! Purple is what happens when Ellie gets to pick.
My Dad cut out the top piece and the burners, Ellie and I painted, Ellie and her Dad made the first mud.

See the cookies in the oven?
It was a complex process.

The perfect consistency is somewhat elusive.
The back porch and the shower floor are somewhat gritty.
But absolutely worth it. I hope your Sunday was as gorgeous.
P.S. Tomorrow (Monday) is the last day to enter the drawing for April’s Mindful Fiber from Quo Vadis Handspun!
I love it! What a wonderful thing to have as a child.
You are the BEST mom! Any word on the elephant pattern? So anxious!
Omg!!! I think my son Jackson need one of these!! That is awesome!!
Ya but notice how pink the purple is. lol
Looks like fun especially if there is a nice bubble bath waiting after !
Awwww. she’s going to be so creative because you encouraged her in this awesome way. My kids made SOUP with water and leaves and such
This is amazing!!!! Ellie is a lucky duck!
Ellie and I are color loving sisters…purple is always my color of choice too. I purposely have to concentrate on not owning all clothes in the color of purple 🙂
A little sawdust helps as a thickening agent for those yummy pies.
