Rea and Lo

I finished the prize for Jen pretty quickly. The hard part was getting them mailed off. I can never remember that the Post office here closes at 4:30 not 5. I named these elephants after Jen's girls but they are welcome to rename them of course. I used a kind of yarn I've never worked with before so they will be much softer and cuddlier. Hopefully this kind of yarn will not shed and fall apart. I still am haunted sometimes by my friend Darsha's words when we were working on those schoolbags for needy children in Africa and she encouraged quality-work by saying (not exact quote)--"Do you want to be the one who made the schoolbag that poor child is carrying around so proudly while being filmed by CNN and have the bag fall apart and dump all the school supplies on the ground right then and there in front of the whole world?" :-) Anyway, hopefully they will be enjoyed--I had so much fun doing this, that I plan on doing it again soon.
Hi-Fives! We're on our way!
