Brian the Baby Elephant

From a pattern in a Japanese craft book. I felt like he needed something else, so added the hair and needle felted and appliqued a little heart to his chest with blanket stitch. Happy with the fabric choice (very fine corduroy) and the stitching. There's something very satisfying about blanket stitch. Would like to do more needle-felting again too. That might help bust the wool stash in the spare room, so we can finally transform it into baby Thomas' room. Would be good to have him in his own room before he goes to school :o) Especially before high school... Better get busy with those needles.
