Destined very soon for her role with children’s therapists. I must check the brown wrapping paper situation.

She is beautiful. Will she have brothers and sisters?

I'm sure she is going to be loved and a very caring elephant!

Maybe sometime, but she’s a bit more of a fiddle than the things I usually make!

I love her and I am sure she is going to help a lot. I’m not too good at fiddly stuff. Haven’t knitted or crocheted this week. One week today since the hysterectomy and it is a slow road.

Well done !

Just beautiful!

Take it easy Purplepixie.
Love the worry elephant idea. Children would probably not find a worry jar nearly so useful.

Love her!
One of my GC used to have tiny “worry dolls” which lived in a tin but he could put them under his pillow at night to deal with any anxieties or fears in the night.
A brilliant idea which worked very well .

Love your 'worry elephant'.
I also have a set of worry dolls, in a tiny wooden box. Very precious as they were given to me by my dear, late son.

That's lovely Witzend. She looks as if she will be very good at the job.

I think we could all do with one of those.
She's splendid !

She's very sweet and will be loved.

Thank you all for kind words. 🐘

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Purplepixie! 💐

Oh, I could just love her. Well done.
