Elephant on Parade

A while ago Kati (From the Blue Chair) posted some adorable elephant softies and I immediately bought the Heather Bailey pattern on etsy.

I have to say that the sewing was a bit fussy, but I'm in love with the finished product and it's the perfect little extra to go with the baby quilts I've been working on. I will definitely make some more. The only modification I made was to use ric-rac instead of fabric for the tail.

I mean seriously, how cute is this little guy?








As for size, he's a little bit smaller than a soda can...


or a little bit bigger than a Koosh, however you wanna think about it.

Puppy Love

Meet the latest addition to our family: a puppy we named Burrito!


He's very cute and very curious.




...sometimes too curious...




but it's hard to stay mad since he looks so sad when we yell at him.


He waits so patiently at the door for us to come home


and always has happy face.


What more could you ask for?




I can't believe he's already started asking difficult questions,
like "Where do puppies come from?"
Hopefully we can save that conversation for another day.


In case you're wondering though, the pattern to make your own puppy can be found in
One Yard Wonders and it really wasn't too bad especially with these tips and tricks for making softies on Melly & Me's blog.
