lynnie, you are too kind and i'm thrilled that you like both the pincushions. i think that the elephant pattern came from tipnut's second collection of pincushions. look her up online, of course. try the needle felting. you have great talent and it is surprisingly easy and fun. i got a great starter kit at weir's dolls and craft. then, of course, I wanted to buy more and more every month. you can find lots of tutorials and examples on pinterest. go crazy from there. i say that if zoey wants a helicopter for her birthday then you should get her one. a stretch limo is nice, but nothing says "i have arrived" the way your own personal flying machine does.
