Here’s a little to know about Leah:
Favorite Color: This is a hard one. I love Deep Burgundy red, and rich deep purple and Rich Royal blue, and and and the list goes on, but I think those are the top though.
Interests: Well obviously crafting, and quilting. I also love photography, reading, biking, ultimate Frisbee, being a mom and wife, nature and once again the list goes on.
Something that makes me me: I’d have to say Giraffes. I LOVE them and collect anything to do with them. I know it’s a little strange, but nobody that knows me can see anything giraffe without thinking of me. [and she's never won anything before!!]
I first thought the giraffe motif was particularly awesome when I went window shopping at Jonathan Adler in San Francisco and my friend showed me the most adorable giraffe lamp. So, when Leah emailed me about her affinity for the lurpy-legged creature, I knew I had to incorporate it somehow.
I’m not sure why I thought of doing a travel tissue case, maybe because I saw it recently on Martha, but maybe in the back of my mind I thought, “Leah likes her kid, who might get a runny nose from time to time.” So there you go. I made the case.
On the back side of the case, I stitched a little giraffe for her. I really like how this turned out, and I just enough vinyl to make another one. For me!
Okay, so I can’t tell you how excited I am about this! My kid gets a runny nose ALOT! And of course can go wrong with giraffe’s. THANK YOU SO MUCH! It’s so cute.
ps. It’s supposed to say “can’t go wrong with giraffe’s”. Guess I was too excited to pay close attention to spelling.
this is so cute! all of the things you make are so beautiful!
Melissa, you are SO talented! Will you make me one?! :)
that lamp! i’m still dreaming of that lamp!
Seriously! Your nursery needs that lamp, Like boats need water.
