Flowery Birthday Card

This past weekend we had 2 birthday parties to attend. I have recently become a fan of giving money as a gift, especially when it means I get to make cute cards like this...



The mom of the birthday girl is debating whether or not she will actually get the money! Haha! I love coming up with new ways to incorporate giving money which is becoming the go to gift for any occasion. I also love trying to figure out ways to incorporate gift cards. Makes giving those kind of boring gifts(unless you are the recipient of course) a little more exciting. If you have a gift giving occasion coming up; Father's Day, Graduation or Wedding and want something a little more fun to give money or a gift card please email me for prices. Who wouldn't love to get a card like this?

Sewing

I'm missing my sewing machine right now. Mine died before Christmas and I miss it. Next weekend I get my grandma's old machine and I can't wait. It's a Viking, just like my old one. I LOVE Viking machines, no one makes machines like Viking(and no I'm not getting paid by Viking to say that). I was never an avid seamstress like my mom or grandma, however I discovered rag quilts a few years ago and love making them. I made them this year for 3 of the 4 teachers my kids had and they were very well received.



I actually made 2 of these for teachers. Both are avid MU Tigers fans and attend games of all sorts so they will be well used.



I made this one for my sons Reading/Writing teacher. She loved all the bright colors.

If you are interested in a blanket please send me an email at pinkowldesigns@gmail.com to discuss your ideas and price. Price is very reasonable, but depends on the number of different fabrics you want and how big the finished blanket will be.
