Elephantastico

Lolliphant470Sh Henrietta and I have a new friend at the studio. Meet Effie,
keeper of pink pins and patron of happy thoughts. Doing tricks and back
flips is Effie's younger brother, Ollie, the circus star.  

Several religions
claim that the world rests on the back of an elephant, standing on a
tortoise. Though neither is ready to carry the weight of the world, Effie & Henrietta are happy to hold some pins for you. Kudos to them for knowing their limits.

These sweet little elephants make fun baby toys too — great for girls and for boys. I dream of a turtle & elephant mobile.

  1. My daughter (who is 14 now) has been IN LOVE with elephants since she was 3.. I don’t know why.. but it’s quite a unique thing. When we travel she buys little elephants and has a collection of them on her shelf.
    I’m going to get this pattern to make her one for her little “collection”…
    sooo cute!
    I already have Henrietta… she need a freind 🙂

  2. Ah, they’re so adorable! I love the sloping bums!
    Last night I discovered that online UK yarn shop Get Knitted stocks your patterns. I was giddy. A giddy goat. I think I need a little bit of practice with Mr Sewing Machine (I’m really more of a knitter) before tackling the lovely Marlo handbag.

  3. Very cute! I had a bird named Effie once. Someone gave it to me when I was around 12. It had a nervous condition and pulled all it’s own feathers out. Your Effie is so much cuter.

  4. Love it! I just made the pear pin cushion for my daughter for Christmas, and I had so much fun. Your patterns are very well written and easy to use. I’m mad that I didn’t get to photograph it properly when I finished it, and only have a blurred photo! But, I’m making myself one in the coming weeks, so I’ll take photos and brag again, how great your patterns are on my blog. I used your fabrics on it too 🙂

  5. Sooo cute! Funny, I just posted a photo of an elephant I just made on my blog yesterday. I just love those little creatures and I love the idea of having one for a pin cushion too!!

  6. They’re gorgeous but I was a bit disconcerted because my 3 year old insisted that there were only two elephants in the picture. There are three, right?

  7. I adore all of your little patterns. You have such an incredible eye for color and everything. This little elephant is so fabulous. I would LOVE to make one of my own. Just gotta wait for that next paycheck…
