Not only is Elijah cute, his construction is really clever with the body, limbs and ears started from picked up stitches which mad ethis phase a little fiddly. He is a well designed little elephant.

This particular baby came early, and in South Africa, so I am un peu en retard to to ship off his gift. I have long been an admirer of Elijah and what wee little South African wouldn’t want an elephant as a prequel to a life of family holidays on safari in Krueger NP?

When my boyfriend saw him, he commissioned another for his (our?) nephew Charles-Olivier, aka Choupie.
