Sunny Side Up Eggs - Felt-Food Cook-Along Day 15

Scrambled eggs not your style?  You want that cheery sunny-side-up egg to greet you in the morning?  Here's now I made mine.


Materials:  White and yellow felt, thread, needle and/or sewing machine, pins

Cut out a while blob and a yellow circle.  I didn't trace anything for either one.  Just cut them freehand.

Sew the yellow circle on. 
I didn't secure the ends, but left long strings, so I could pull them behind and tie the threads together
Then I used a sharp, pointy pair of scissors to cut a slit through the white felt behind the egg yoke.
Then I stuffed stuffing through the slit.
Then I pinned the whole thing onto more white felt and sewed around the ends of the egg white, making sure to secure the ends by going back and forth a bit.  (I forgot a picture of this step, but it's necessary to cover up the slit.  I find myself wishing a bit that I had sewed that slit shut before sewing the second layer of egg white...but oh, well.)

Then melt some butter in a frying pan. 
Fry your egg.
 Serve with a snowman pancake and some fruit for a more balanced breakfast.  (Strawberry coming soon...)
