Elephants

So this week I have been making a lot of elephants for my booths. I need to make a lot because they are the cutest thing and my best sellers. They also take two days of long hours to make. Now in the craft world that's not a lot of time. Some things that people sell takes a lot more time than that. But my elephants only take two days of long hours. So today I finished the third elephant and decided to keep it. I named him Tabasco. He's not red. In fact, he's green. He's the exact shade of green as the writing on the label of the Tabasco bottles. But back to the fact that I've been making elephants all week. Making one thing over and over is tedious work and that can cause problems like slowing down of the process. I'm not a machine, I can't spit out the same thing every two days and not get bored. So I pay myself. Not with money but with soda, one of my biggest vices. I get one can of Coca Cola if I can make an elephant in two days and I don't get it if I go over. It keeps production going and I get my soda. I'm also thinking about making little clay elephants. If you can't tell, my thoughts have been on the elephant a lot this week. I think that's because I made three of them this week. I'm taking tomorrow off and will start back up on Sunday. Then I'll do the same thing next week. Though I might need a break from elephants soon. Maybe I'll make a few dolphins and hippos. Or a cat or two. I've filled my quota of dinosaurs; at least the brontosauruses. I still have to make a few more stegos. I also have to make some bears because hey, who doesn't like a bear. Who knows what I'll make next week actually. I love my elephants though. I read a book by Jodi Picoult called 'Leaving Time'. I would suggest if you like reading books that have a twist you pick it up. It's pretty good. Anyways, the mother in the book is a elephant researcher. I guess I've always liked elephants. Elephants are cool.
