Book gift card holder!

My co-worker's birthday was the first of June, so myself and my other co-workers went in on a Border's gift card for her. I decided that we needed a fun holder to put it in, and it came to me...A BOOK! a book gift card holder to hold a bookstore gift card! So here it is...

Inside with a gift card pocket and a book plate slot:

Showing the 'pages' (sorry it's a tad blurry!):
Ta-Da!!:


I just made it with the cheapo felt sheets and embroidery floss. It ended up with 4 'pages' which is 2 white rectangles folded in the middle. I ended up putting the spine on to hide my shotty stitch work. Overall, I loved it- it was hard to give up, that's been happening a lot lately! =]

Twilight-y Goodness!

I decided to make my gifts for my secret santa over the holidays and since she's as obsessed with Twilight as I am I decided to use it as a theme. For her final gift I made her a cup cozy. I found this image on photobucket (which I turned into a bookmark for her as well):
And I used it as a template for the cozy. Here it is laid out:

Here's a Jacob-Wolf that I made myself (He was just too cute to give away!):

Here's Jacob-Wolf modeling with the cozy (he's such a camera hog!):

Both Jacob and the cozy were made of the cheapo felt rectangles that you find in the craft store. I doubled up the cozy for insulation, Jacob is just stuffed with poly-fil. I used the Futuregirl! tutorial on how to blanket stitch.
