This elephant outfit started out much like the one in the previous blog.  But it turned out a little different.  Sometimes, I have a problem sticking to a pattern.  Its as if the  creation taking shape "talks" to me and ends up different from what I started out with.  My problem here was that I did not make a pattern for the first elephant outfit and this one was pretty much pattern-less, too.

I hope to put this on Etsy soon;  right now, I can't seem to part with it.

Happy New Year!  Hopefully 2013 will be the start of a very prosperous and successful year for everyone.

Today, I made my first Etsy sale!  Really excited about that.  I just got back from the post office and the package is on its way.  I hope the purchaser will enjoy the layette she bought for a little baby boy.






I also wanted to post pictures of a gift item I made for a friend.  She had hinted for an elephant hat for the baby she was expecting and with several tries I was finally happy with the hat and diaper set.  Here are pictures she posted of the new baby in his outfit.  He still needs some growing into the outfit but that means he can probably wear if for a while.
