Awesome! I love those Frenchies too! My BT's say hello!

Bless you.

Me too. Lots of giggles. :-)

I am not sure what is cuter, your elephant or your fur babies in your avatar...

cwessel47 09-03-2011 07:21 PM

Somehow she reminds me of Eeyore. Remember him?

PolarBear 09-03-2011 07:45 PM

Very cute. I hope she will be getting a sibling or two soon!!

It's on the Hoffman fabrics website - one of the free quilt patterns.

Thanks for the great picture... best medicine I have had all week as I have been down with high blood pressure and dizzy spells.... this made me laugh in a good way as I have done and still do crazy things like you did...you probably helped more people by doing it as I know I would be more likely to share my boo boos and this will become a keepsake to show your kids and grandkids... they will love it... keep up the good work.. I think she is adorable.

Eleanor is beautiful! I love her fabric.

Elenore is just too sweet. When my daughter was a baby, I would make a new stuffed animal practically every week. Those were not as easy to make as the patterns today. I stilled enjoyed making them. I especially love using the new fabrics to make the critters.

Too funny! But she is awesome. Nice job!!!

Hello Eleanor, don't you let your Mommy upset you, you don't really need cosmetic surgery
