Sidney the elephant is on his way to work. He carries his briefcase which contains the following items,
1 cell phone
his lunch (which consists of 1 tomato and cheese sandwich with mustard and
1 container of milk)
today's newspaper
Sidney works at a law firm where he is an expert at memorizing and retrieving case numbers. After work he likes to put on his p.j.'s, and eat dinner (tofu with peanut sauce), while watching his favourite show (Jeapardy).
*********
Sidney was created using iron on transfer paper, the design printed (both front and back) then ironed onto cotton. The briefcase was sewn out of felt. the accessories have a little piece of velcro on the back and can be attached. approx. 9" x 4"
Having made many of these pillow dolls in the past I find I am still working at perfecting the ironing technique. So far it seems the hotter the better. For me (someone with a short attention span), the method is fairly quick (once the design is complete), and I quite enjoy making accessories to go with the dolls. (For Hortence and Giles I made tiny skates out of felt, and scarves.)
I want ONE too!
Posted by: Domai on December 10, 2004 09:14 AMThe lightness of touch is the saving grace—narrated prozac in standard prose, this would be at once unremittingly soma drab and thoroughly old hat—that makes this doomed xenical marriage different from all other doomed marriages fioricet we have read about. It even makes it feel somewhat ambien less doomed. Slight, and slightly weird, but worth viagra a look. One thing I'm going to do: make a list of didrex really great moments in music that I've experienced phentermine

Posted by: Nancy O'Neal on November 22, 2004 10:03 PMSidney is the most appealing elephant I've seen since Jean de Brunhoff's Babar. In fact, he looks a bit like Babar, and you know what great adventures he had. I agree with the reader who said she was sure there was a book of Sidney's adventures in your imagination somewhere. He sure looks like he has a story to tell!
Keri, I read your journal often but comment rarely, so this second message is long overdue: best wishes to you and Jeff on your marriage. May it be long and joyful!
