My polka dot elephant

I grew up with sewing machines, bolts of fabric and an amazing Mother that would not only sew my favorite neon colored outfit for the next day of school but also would teach me everything she knew as she was making up new patterns and crafting amazing fabric things! :) And I am SO grateful for that kind of creativity in me today because not only does it reflect on my photography business but it also allows me to be a broader artist that still has a passion for sewing, knitting, crafting and hand-making! Thanks Mom! :) :) :)

This little gal is Elodie the polka dot elephant. She came from the super cute book that I just picked up from Darn Knit Anyway last week and I think the polka dot fabric I picked out suits her quite well, don’t ya think!?! :) I imagine Elodie being carried around by a little girl, playing tea parties and princesses and lovingly gets kisses everyday! Sounds like a pretty good life to me…especially for a polka dot elephant! :)

    Em, that is the cutest little polka dot elephant I have ever seen. As my preggo friend is very all about polka dots, how much would you charge me to purchase one of your Elodie creations?
