Itty Bitty Elephant

My dearest friend, Chrissy, bought me the greatest Christmas gift... the Softies Kit! I love it!

I dug right in and picked a pattern for a super cute little elephant... he fits in the palm of my hand!

It took a bit of work... I am normally not one for reading patterns to a T, so I had to take a few pieces apart and try again here and there, but I was happy with how he turned out...!

He's cuter in person, but he's still pretty darn cute in the pictures!!!

It only took 6 years...

... and I still need to get it quilted.

This is the top for our bed quilt... FINALLY I have made a top for our bed.

And... my New Year's Resolution is to "complete" a project each month...

... so this is my January project -- YAY!

("Complete" means as complete as I can get it... this quilt will need to be quilted and it is way too big for me to do that... it fits a King Sized Bed!!!)

Woohoo!

First purse EVER!

Ok, my dear friend Erin has inspired me to branch into bag making. Here's the first of hopefully many such attempts? Fabric purchased at Pine Needles, along with the Bento Baggu pattern by Yone Glover (email me if you'd like CORRECTED instructions... I need to not be such an engineer...)
