Well I certainly hope that these pillows will only hold sweet dreams for my two little pussy cats.
It was Belinda at http://browndirtcottage.blogspot.com/ that shared with me the idea for making these for my grandaughters. I was having a brain freeze and just couldn't think of what to do for them for Valentines and Voila!!.... all it took was for a crafty lady to put the bug in my ear and I was off and running. Thanks again Belinda.
I have to tell you that here we are approaching the end of January and (touch wood) I have not bought any new fabrics. Mind, I haven't been near a fabric store, so no real temptations there :c)) These cases were made from 100% of stuff I had on hand, right down to the lace I've been hoarding for heaven only knows how long....I very seldom throw anything away....LOL.... I am such a pack rat, I cringe when I think that someday my family may have to deal with all my 'junk'. Hopefully they will do it with fond memories of what came out of all of it.
~~Fran...:c)

Hi there....I happened upon your blog while blog hopping. I sure enjoyed looking at your projects! You are one busy gal...and so creative. Thanks for sharing!
There you go...These are going to be a HIT with your little gals. You were so creative and frugal as well by using from your stash. I too have horded yards and yards of lace through the years. I've got some pulled out to add to my pillowcases when I finally get them sewed up. Can't wait to hear about the reaction you get when you give these to your girls. Good job!
I love giving pillow cases as gifts since they will be used more than once.
What a neat idea and so pretty.. how can they not love them.
Very cute; those girls will love it.
Those are so cute...I love them...it sure sucks that I live in Nevada because I would sure love to come for a fancy dinner and get a pillow case like that to boot (did I mention how cute they are and how much I love them???) lol
Love ya mom...
Hia Fran they're lovely. I've really challenged myself this year to create some space for new fabrics by using up what I have. Your pillows are perfect for your grandaughters. They will think of their special Valantine Day with you whenever they use them.
What about Valentine pyjama cases to match?
What a perfect Valentine's Day gift. I love to give pillowcases as presents.
