Many many months ago, I checked out the book Wee Wonderfuls: 24 Dolls to Sew and Love by Hillary Lang from the library.  The dolls are absolutely adorable and there were a few I was itching to try.  While flipping through the pages, Kulia wandered by and peeked over so see what I was oohing and ahhing over.  Now, Kulia loves pigs and elephants.  I mean LOVES.  It is almost a compulsion with her.  So when she say a pattern for a sweet little stuffed elephant with a hidden pocket, her bitty heart just melted.  She wanted that ellie.  She wanted it now.  Unfortunately, I don’t do so great with now.  I’m more of an eventually type of gal but Kulia would not be put off.  Every time she saw me at my craft table, she’d ask if I was working on her ellie.  She just wouldn’t let me forget it.  So during Spring Break, I put the pedal to the metal and “someday” turned into “today”.   This was not an easy stuffed animal to make.  But from the loving it had been getting, it was well worth the effort and the wait!
