Do you know what’s as big as an elephant in the room? Writer’s block. I haven’t been able to come up with any craft projects, much less blog posts lately. I feel like I’ve been trunked. See what I did there?
Do you know what’s as small as this elephant in the room? Your palm. Because who doesn’t want an elephant that fits in their palm? If I could shout “Me! Me! Me!” – I would. But since I’m sick as a dog, my husband is sleeping, and the cat is enjoying the peace and quiet, I’ll keep my mouth shut. For now.
Because of what seems like a revolving door of illness (that, and my decision to watch the entire Gossip Girl series from episode 1), I haven’t had a lot of time to get crafting in. So when it came time to come up with a gift for my brother-in-law’s girlfriend (who just so happens to adore elephants), I went the old fashioned way. Store bought.
Until I just couldn’t handle it anymore, and I had to hand make something. I sewed this little “baby” (only because he’s so small) elephant out of felt, and shipped him on his way to her. Hopefully she’ll give me a free pass for only giving her one teeny tiny handmade thing. Because what is cuter than this baby elephant? The answer is nothing. Nothing at all.

Thanks Jamie!! This time it’s just a cold! Apparently the pneumonia left me with a weak immune system! 🙂

Hopefully you get over it quickly! It’s never fun being sick, but watching Gossip Girl isn’t so bad haha.

What a very adorable gift – I’m sure she will like it – because you handmade it and thought of her LIKES, that makes it even more special.
Hope you do feel better, I know the bug is going around here too… 🙁
