hippity hoppity? no.. Thumpety Thumpety!

1

Sudden inspiration smacked me in the face while visiting another blog..

2

someone who makes the most awesome old mohair friends had created an elephant, sweet as could be!

3

Ive made a few elephants before, but hadnt tried needlefelting one yet. But I suddenly knew that it was the next thing I was going to do and I knew that it wasnt going to be just an elephant.. but

4

It would be an EASTER elephant!

I went to bed for two nights in a row, thinking about easter elephants! (what do you think about when you go to bed at night??)

5

When I finally got started on it, I hated it.. but that happens sometimes.. then I just have to keep on playing with it and tweaking it until it takes on its own life and becomes what its meant to be!

6

I knew that this ellie needed to have an easter basket and some chicks,

7

And I knew that she would need to be balancing on a big felted easter egg!

8

And what easter elephant doesnt have a big fat bunny tail and big fluffy bunny ears?

9

she is happy with her fine self now.. except that now that I'm looking at the pictures, I think she should be holding her sign in her trunk. (lol, I almost said beak instead of trunk!)

10

Well, I hope you like her. Now i'm off to the shower and then off the see the Lyndonville HS production of Barnum .. (heehee..speaking of elephants!)

12

and after the show, my whole family and all their significant others and friends of ours are all going out to dinner to the new restaurant in albion called the Crooked Door.

soo... off I gooo

thumpety, thumpety thump!

(oh.. I havent forgotten about my giveaway.. I'll do it tonight or tomorrow.. so keep leaving comments!)

hippity hoppity giveaway

tree 3
Hello girlfriends! Ive been working on some easter treats for a special swap I'm doing with a few girls. and I decided to make and extra something special for an easter giveaway!
tree 2
cant say what it will be, though I do know.. but you will have to be surprised. I promise it will be cute as a button though..
well, really, it will be cuter then a button.!
easter tree
DO you like my little easter tree? this one sits in my kitchen window, then I have another one on top of the entertainment center and another one that I took to work today to decorate my office with ! Then I saw another one that Im wishing for.. it's really big... and very expensive.. at 125.00, I guess thats a lot for an easter tree but boy would I love to have it!! However, if I were to BLOW the money on it, which I'm so not going to do, then I would be overwhelmed by its size and would be hemming and hawing about where to put it and what to put on it, and then Id be in pursuit of buying, making or swapping for more ornaments, and all of the above could be stressful! so I must must must stop thinking about that beautiful light springy green, big ole easter tree. yes.. i must.
easter glitter!
Soooo... anyways.. short and sweet here tonight...
back to the giveaway.. leave your comments on this post.. or any others that I might post this week and I will pick a winner on sunday.
I feel like I'm behind again in visiting.. but truthfully, I'm not.. Ive been keeping up on google reader the last few days, but have not left any comments.. or not many anyways.
I seem to be bouncing from the computer to the craft table to bed to work! Is it friday yet???
lol
anyways.. leave your comments and check back sunday for the winner!
huggles and hope the rest of all your weeks go well!
night night..sleep tight!
