This Valentine's Day send a Valentine Elephant

This elephant started out intended as a "Good Luck" Elephant. As I was finishing it I realized that we are only about two weeks from February 14 and, while you might choose to change the pattern on his sides to something that features hearts or flowers, this lovely little elephant would make a really special Valentine's gift.  

Of course, you could make it even more special by threading a diamond ring on his trunk-- that would really be unforgettable. No, I take that back. That might just come off as pretentious and overbearing. Just go with the elephant, it is heart warming and sincere. And have a wonderful (possibly socially distanced) Valentine's Day. 

This pin loom elephant pattern is featured in the book Adorable Beasts along with 29 of his best pin loom friends. 

Once you have woven your pin loom elephant (or other preferred valentine object) you can decorate it with any design.  The designs on the left are a few that might work for you. 

 

Happy Christmas Elephant To All

This can be a crazy busy season with lots of demands from family and work. If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider turning away from all those ridiculous demands for a bit and inviting in your very own Christmas Elephant.

The elephant and the rabbit patterns can be found in Adorable Beasts; 30 pin loom animals and 4 playscapes, I added a Santa hat for the season.

I hope everyone is having a fun, exciting season... or at least taking a little time for themselves in order to cope.
