Quick gifts

For Valentine's Day, I am at a loss for gifts.  I want to acknowledge the holiday with Amelia but I really don't want to make a "must give a gift" holiday.  We have plenty of those in the year.  With her getting older, she LOVES presents.  It was so much easier when she was say, 3, and had no clue.  LOL!

So I made pillowcases.  One of her and one for my husband.

Fabrics - Sent with Love and Mr. Fix It
I'm sure you can tell which pillowcase is for which person.  Chris can use his when he working his 2 overnight shifts at the firehouse.  Pillowcase and a bag of Hershey Kisses for each.  Good to go.

I was feeling left out of the pillowcase fun so I had to make a couple for myself too.


Turn your head to the side... Giddy.  Love them!  They are already on my bed.

Enjoy your day!
Jen

  1. Pillow slips are a great idea for a gift that everyone can use as much or as little as they like. I will put that in my list of gift ideas. They look so pretty in those bright fabrics.

  2. I love your pillowcases! I think that is a wonderful V'day gift without going overboard and spending a lot of $. Is there a certain pattern/tutorial you use for your pillowcases?
