Here is the long awaited 2nd project, elephant that I made for one of my best friend's daughter, Ella. This was a bit of a journey - elephant almost didn't make it off the shelf! I learned very quickly that curves are not your friend when first learning to sew! Hence, the tiniest arms, legs and trunk! But, as I have been consoled for what my husband originally coined an "anteater", the quirks and imperfections are what make this elephant special! Turns out, Ella adores the elephant, even when it only had 1 ear, and I just had to repair her this weekend. All in all, that is what I sew for! To make people happy, to put a smile on someone's face! And when that smile comes from a child, it is all that much more rewarding. :)
