So i made this little elephant out of this beautiful vintage fabric that i had, thinking that he might be a good present for any upcoming babies (Note: i speak of upcoming babies conceived by other people, sorry mamma!)...i left him a bit baggy and loose, because it suits the vintage feel....but...is it just me or does he look....
...depressed???? Seriously...its like we're having a baby Dumbo moment or something (that time when he's outside the mama elephant's barred prison trailer...i bawl, seriously...i mean, full open-mouthed, spasm-y sobbing....gets me every time). He certainly has got the ears for the part...lol
But really...look how sad he is!! I don't think i could give this type of thing to a baby...it would be a bit of a downer, and they spend enough time crying, right?
Even the little stuffed bird felt he needed cheering up...
Look elephant, dry your eyes!.......go get some icecream and marshmallows or something...that always cheers me up....and take the bird too...i'd never noticed it before, but his quiet stoicism is bringing me down too! eeeek...better make that 3 for icecream and marshmallows.
aaaaaaw I loooooooooooove him!!!
ReplyDeletesooooooooooo cute, and just looks like a bottomless pit for hugs! I would never tire of trying to make him happy! hugs alllll day! how soft is he? I think he'd make a good baby pressie...
ps - nice bird too, just slightly less character than the ellie has! xxxx
