An Elephant and A Century

I just finished this elephant for a teacher at Charlotte's pre-school. As she doesn't know what she is having I made one side with green polka dots and the other in a rainbow fabric. I used a ribbon loop as the tail and I finally found a very large bell at Lincraft which I put inside.

I have also just realised that this is my 100th post. Yes I've racked up a century, who would have thought it, certainly not me. So I've decided to run a little competition. Post a comment before Monday morning and everyone will go into the draw for a special package. So all you lurkers out there come in and say hello.

Veyr cute elephant. Love the Ikea fabric. We finally got to our new Ikea the other day, but DH ran out of patience by the time we got there, so I'll have to return - alone.

Oh Cass - you did a great job - Did you use a pattern - that was what I wanted mine to do (remember back in March - or was it Feb?) But His legs just could not hold his big FAT body that I lovingly gave him!
