Nellie the elephant packed her trunk...

Hi folks! Remember that very simple card from a couple of posts back? Well, I thought it would translate very nicely from a card to a cushion!

But, you know, I'm a bit disappointed with the result...and it's really to do with scale. The fabric looked great on a small elephant, but the spots aren't big enough to work on something this size (35cm wide). So I'm now on a mission to find some fabric with BIG spots!

I was quite pleased with her button 'eye' - a ceramic little number with polka dots - perfect!

And, as always, I have more ideas in the pipeline...another animal cushion...bet you can't guess what it's going to be....!

Fabrics from Saints and Pinners

So, in short, not a particularly successful day - isn't it frustrating when things don't go to plan! Still there's always tomorrow!

Finally, remember that lovely pinky driftwood I mentioned back here? Here's one boat made from it....

I reckon I can get another 4 or 5 vessels from the rest..would look pretty in a little girl's room, I thought!
Hope you're having a good week!
