Inspired

Let me introduce you to my little friend. Okay, she doesn't really have a name, but let's just call her Rosie. She does come with a story, here is the short version. A few days after Christmas I went to Anthropologie and saw a cute little monster in their register area (image below). I had to know what it was. The salesgirl told me they were gift cardholders. I wanted a gift card holder. I thought about buying myself a gift card and then just using it right there for my purchase. That is how cute it was. But, I just paid cash for my purchase and went home, minus the gift cardholder. Please do not shed any tears, I bought a really nice warm sweater that I wear all the time!

The little monster on the left is the monster that inspired me to make Rosie.

I said I wanted to do more sewing this year, so I got out my sewing machine Saturday afternoon and made a few of my own gift card holders. Now, granted they are not as cute as the original, but they will do. I used whatever materials I had at home. That way I can go out and buy more!


Saturday night I thought that an owl would make a cute holder. Sunday morning I cut out an owl pattern and sewed it up with out any complications. I love when that happens. However, I did not make it big enough to hold the card! Minor complication. I guess I could slip some cash in there. People still like cash right?

Thanks for visiting!
