oh bum !!!!!!!

This was going to be a lovely positive post  but instead of telling you how happy I am with new projects I actually feel like this

 What happened to cause this I hear you ask 

Well would you believe it was a some African flower motif . Yes  after posting my last bird 

I am now stuck with the very same pattern. Ok that's not exactly true I can make the  motif but can't construct it . I am making the elephant that I have Bern promising my son for ages . I love the colours yellow orange and grey  and excited to share with you


So I set about making the motif and constructing the bum when disaster struck I could not join it in the way I was meant too. Heidi patterns  are very clear yet two and half hours later the bum was not sewed on . Eventually I think I got it . Here is the result

As far as i can tell this is right it had better be my sanity can't take it any more lol

I am.however  pleased with how these look I have gone done another hook.size and it made a far my pleasing size and density assuming I can actually construct this beast it should look.good ...... well fingers crossed lol

hippo ta dah !!

This task dah been a long time comming .the stuffing  finally arrived . So I could breath life into him. I  am really pleased. Heidi refers to this as happypotomus and I confess to smiling every time I look at him . He is my biggest project to date  and I think it's the one I am most proud off. 

 

I  do have request for the rhino and elephant so I think I will soon be making African flowers in my sleep lol

touch and go

As you can see , he has grown a lot since yesterday post . I found those African flowers almost addictive  . However it was not all.plain sailing  got to last motif and it didn't fit. I pulled out last row but no matter what I did  it wouldn't fit. My husband came up with helpful  solution of maybe it's not right!!!!!

 After some  head scratching I realised that under its chin was a Pentagon and it meant to be hexagon. .After some delicate unravelling I sorted it all I need now is some stuffing !
