Ele Thank You Cards

I made a ton of these for my second trip to Thailand as thank you cards to staff and volunteers. I bought different coloured postcards from the dollar store and cut out elephants. I followed the basic shape, but I did all the cutting free hand so every elephant was unique. The eye is a small circle sticker and the ear is a cut out from some colourful post-it notes I had.

Christmas Card Tokens

Today was my last day at one of my schools before the students go on winter break. I wanted to make a little something for all the teachers. I went to the 100 yen shop and bought candy, coloured cards, stamps and confetti cutters. All the cards were different. I took pictures of some of my favourite ones.

I also made cards for three students in a special education class and one for a sixth grader that wrote me a note last month. I drew a pokemon!

Crochet Mary Jane Slippers

Yarn: worsted weight - blue, light blue
Hook: size 5/6

I was sitting cross legged before the first picture was taken, so my ankles are wrinkly! haha

I made two pairs, one with a size 5 hook, one with a size 6 hook. It turned out perfect for US size 5 and 6 for women. The yarn should be able to stretch to a size and a half bigger. (I found it easier to do with a pair of socks on.)
