No stitching, but..

 I've had very little stitching time over the last couple of weeks and as you know I don't get much done after work hours. Still, I do have something to share with you.

First, I've completed my baby gift. It's an elephant! I've never made one before. I usually make a rabbit but the mom-to-be loves elephants and requested it have something in yellow.

If you're interested in the pattern, it can be found here. The original design has the elephant either in a diaper or a skirt, but the designer also has instructions for the cute overalls here. To give a little something extra to the elephant, I used a lovely chenille thread on the pads of the hands and feet, and ears.

After finishing my elephant last week, I felt weird not having something to do in the evenings. I decided to work on my bojagi piece as it's an easy piece to work on and doesn't require a lot of concentration. I really enjoy this type of work and would love to do more of it.

I've completed the stitching on the front panel. It's a true bojagi as I had to humpty dumpty a few pieces to get the correct size. Remember: measure twice, cut once! All that's left now is to stitch the two sides together, make the strap and attach it.

I was a very bad blogger this month. I started a new goldwork piece which explains the yellow felt and black thread. We've had 3 lessons so far, but I'm still working on lesson 2. I'll share pictures soon, but first I have a baby gift to complete. It's due for next Saturday and I've wasted too much time procrastinating. Now I need to catch up. It's going to be an elephant, I've never made one of those. Here are a the little feet.
