a baby shower.


i helped host a baby shower for our friend lindsey this past saturday. it was so much fun! i am so lucky to have such crafty friends! we all pitched in and made a few little things for the shower. raechel made this cute little welcome sign. i would pretty much leave that out all the time, baby shower or not. if you can't tell, woodlands (and owls) were the theme...


i made this little sign out of random bits of paper i collect. now i want to make a million of these... but i'm out of that brown paper.


food table. i made that little banner behind everything. not as fancy as the others, but still pretty cute! abie also made a banner with the owl artwork, but i didn't really get a good photo of it... sorry abie!


raechel also did the flower arrangements. she was the one i was bragging about a few weeks ago... you know, the one with the amazing garden? yeah, i wish i could hire her to take care of my yard full-time. she made these with flowers/greenery from her garden. i have a hard time not touching lamb's ears every time i see them!



cake and another banner (also raechel). lachelle made the adorable (and tasty) cake!



a close-up of the cake. see? i told you it was adorable. we keep telling her to open her own bakery...



invitations. dinah, owner of hodgepodge, put these together for the shower. and the little owl we used for everything!



this is her (dinah) looking at a 3-d sonogram of little logan. these things are half cute, half creepy...



here's lindsey, propping her feet up... we can't blame her, she worked that morning! too bad she wasn't wearing green flip-flops...



close-up of the sonogram and a sweet gift (blanket) that match the colors in his nursery.


gift basket misti put together as a hostess gift. those little booties are so cute!! and thanks abie for opening your home for the day! it was the perfect backdrop for our woodlands themed baby shower!

fabric rose corsage.

here's what i made with a few of my fabric roses the other day! a little corsage for a mom-to-be! but not just any mom-to-be... for my sis-in-law who will be expecting a baby boy in july.

when planning for her shower, i knew i wanted to make something sweet for her to wear. i had seen several tutorials on making roses out of baby socks, but wanted something that would be a keepsake and something she wouldn't be tempted to take apart afterwards :)

i had also started seeing fabric flowers popping up all over the place. clothes, headbands, shoes... so i searched and found a few tutorials. they were all different, so i took a few tidbits from each and created my own easy way to make these. i'm working on a tutorial that i will post here soon!

unfortunately, i left my camera at home on saturday, so no photos of the shower unless i can beg a few off of the other hostesses...
