Kids and elephant.

Not really kids, my son is now twenty and my daughter has just turned sixteen! To say my son is laid back is an understatement, he is so laid back he's horizontal. He finishes his three year stint at university this year. On the other side of the scale is my daughter who isnt at all laid back and heading towards exams and college so is all anxiety, stress and shredded nerves (mostly my nerves) Things are a bit weird at the minute. I have a good job and a nice house and I'm still single but I cant say I'm fulfilled or totally happy. I think some changes will have to be made this year and daunting as that is, either I make the changes or they will be forced upon me. Heavy stuff... However I did do a bit of sewing (dont faint) for my daughters sixteenth birthday I made her a elephant. When she was a small dot she had (still has) a velour elephant which she could never be parted with, in fact we had to buy two just in case because she was inconsoluble without her 'Fonty' so to celebrate managing to keep Fonty for 16 years I decided to make her a new elephant. I used the Tilda pattern and as my usual way I made the elephant out of towelling because I love towelling so much. Here is the final result.
I quite like her and luckily my daughter adored her. It has snowed here very slightly in the last couple of days and I'm full of cold. Is it finally winter??? Hope you are all well and happy xxx
