My daughter wanted one of those "Elf on the shelf" things last year, and the ones in store were frightening to look at! So I set about trying to make one. I didn't follow a pattern as such, just freehand and pulled bits and pieces from information I have learned on past projects. She came together ok, my family thought she was great and she served well through the month of December :) She will come out again for 2018 Christmas, maybe she'll have a partner this year too :P
Thank you so much for all your compliments on Clementine everyone (this is what my children named her). I am already beginning to think of a boy partner for her to get up to mischief with this coming Christmas :)
I will more likely follow a pattern next time though! It is much easier :D
