 This little love-muffin, a brand new baby giraffe born here, at our local zoo, became the inspiration for this:

A brand new purse for our niece, Lena.

NeeNee, aka "Granny," (one of the twins), promised Lena a trip to the zoo, to go and see the new little calf. While spending the day with us, I suggested to Lena that we go and she pick out some fabric for a new purse that I would make for her. We landed at Cinnamon's and after looking at many bolts of material, our eyes landed on this delightful little fellow and we just knew that this was the fabric.

Hence, the purse.

I am so in love with the little giraffe that it is now the wallpaper on my phone.

As for Lena, she hasn't seen her purse yet, but I'm sure she's going to adore the little giraffe!
