A Christmas gift for Gemma
Don't ask me how I managed to squeeze this in between making butter and cleaning the oven. I just had to do it. I had seen the stuffed giraffes for babies on Etsy done by two or three individuals, and none of them was exactly what I wanted, so on our last visit to Hobby Lobby I picked out cloth and grosgrain ribbon. Last night I traced out a pattern, and I cut it out and pinned it this morning before the kids were up. I squeezed in the sewing and stuffing between other things. I rather like it!Adrian said, "It looks real!" I asked him how many pink giraffes he's seen. "No, I mean like real from a store!" I guess some of my home-made versions of things may be a little "unreal" at times.

ReplyDeleteNadja, you are very artistic ;o)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the giraffe. Back in our past "colorado" life, we used to order from Nova all the time. They have lovely things, but between you and bret, who needs them?
Thank you all for the kind words!
