I finally completed the order of 40pcs of elephants at 4.45am on 8 August. Phew! Lucky for me the baby shower was held later that evening and not in the morning. And, out of excitement or tiredness, I completely forgot to take a picture of the finished product!
These instead were taken on Wednesday, 4 August @ 12am.
There were only 15 then and boy was I panicking. There was only
one completed (the top yellow one with the black ears) and the
rest were ear-less and tail-less.
The fasting month started on 11 August. Things at work has been slow. Since I'm fasting, I get to go back at 5.30pm or maybe earlier. But coming to work in the morning is a killer. Weekend is the time for us to relax at home, since the weather has been unkind - it happens every Ramadan. I suppose its a test of patience.
Made a pillow for the Baby Foo on Saturday. Wanted to make a bolster but since I don't know how, made a long rectangular pillow for him instead. I named the pillow the 'Choot-Choot (pacifier) Pillow' as there is a pocket at the front for him to safely keep his pacifier in. I know I shouldn't be encouraging his pacifier habit. But you have not seen him losing his temper when he doesn't get his pacifier!
This is Baby Foo's elder brother's pillow. He got upset that I
made one for Baby Foo but not him. So Sunday I had to make
one for him. No pictures of the original 'Choot-Choot Pillow'.
Since I don't have a sewing machine, it took me like 1 and 1/2 hours to hand sew everything together. I'm sure with a machine, it would have been much faster and I can make 3 within the same amount of time. Oh well...
