Mrs. Reachy the Giraffe (as many pics as her neck is long)

[lucyinthesky16]

man i wish i could take credit for the name "mrs reachy," but it came from the newest episode of the venture brothers. in fact, when dean came out talking to "mr. reachy," i lost it. i had to make a giraffe! lol i'm crazy i know http://www.craftster.org/forum/Smileys/default/tongue.gif anyways, here she is:

as you can see, she is indeed faceless. i couldn't figure out how to give her eyes, then decided i liked her without a face.

lol an image of her belly. wanted to show you the contrasting pink fabric.
and that's all! she's made from flannel scraps from a quilt my mom made (the quilt is VERY bright by the way, and awesome!) and she's very soft.
well, thanks for looking!
OH one more thing...got the pattern from here---> http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=120321.0

Very Cute! I like her pink belly! Awww!

OK, one technical thingy you may not have known is that craftster links to post pics just don't work. I don't know why? Sorry bout that!

Do you have them uploaded elsewhere? Linking from photobucket, flickr, or using www.tinypic.com (http://www.tinypic.com) in a pinch seems to work.

[lucyinthesky16]

well, what i tried to do was to actually copy and paste the whole post, and it didn't work, so i just re wrote the post, and uploaded the pictures separately and it seemed to work. but thanks! (i actually do have a photobucket account, but it takes my stupid computer SOOOOOO long for it to process them and i was kind of in a hurry >< )

so cute!

[lucyinthesky16]

thanks! i'm thinking about making another one, but in opposite colors (pink body yellow belly) for my bestest best friend who lives a whole state away. it's so easy to make, i just can't stop! :D

[Miss Heather Bunny]

aww yeah that would be a cute gift, thanks for posting this...i was looking for something to do(im so bored), they are just the cutest things ever.!

[caitlyn]

this is adorable!
i'm so making one for my friend, her favorite animal is a giraffe. =]

[Da Vid]

LOL. its so cute!

[Miss Heather Bunny]

i tried to make one, it came out so horrible XD
well i used fleece so that might have something to do with it, idk.

[lucyinthesky16]

ooh, fleece! i tried making something from fleece, didn't turn out so well. i think it's too stretchy. i made this one out of flannel, because it is soft and sturdy :D plus it might be because you're making it a little small? sometimes larger things come out easier (if i could make mine bigger, i would have because it was really tough, especially the neck part ><)

[Miss Heather Bunny]

yeah fleece is too stretchy for it, maybe a little too thick also.
i shall try making it a bit larger, it was kind of small and hard to see what i was doing and such. XD

[lindsay_pai]

she's adorable! :D awesome job!

[lucyinthesky16]

miss heather, you should post a pic when you finish it! or of both! (i'm curious about the first one now :D)
