Baby Shower

-
First, I have to start by saying that I am sorry for the bad quality of the pictures you are about to look at. While prepping for the party, I forgot to charge my, completely dead, camera, so I had to snap these with my cell phone. I was able to get a few before everyone showed up.

Other than not having a camera for the first half an hour of the part, everything went well! The happy parents-to-be LOVED everything! I am so happy that they had such a great time. With that, here are the few pictures I took:

Here is the finished table. 

 
 This was taken right before I filled the pop corn boxes. The cars in front are these:

You can find these at The Lil Bee , or directly HERE for the brown and orange, and HERE for the blue and pink

I changed the colors to a darker brown with blue, and printed them on white card stock. This was a BIG hit! There were some really sweet answers that were tear jerkers. I had the guests full them out as soon as they arrived, and the mom-to-be read them after dessert.

 
Ready to Pop Boxes filled with pop corn. I bought he pop corn that you microwave, popped three bags, and filled these up. Super easy. Everyone loved them. I also made a little holder for the Wishes for Baby cards. Once the guests filled them out, they just slipped them into this sleeve. 

 
The last picture shows the cake pops I had set out, the blue lemonade, and pretzels. I also made that frame. Since we don't know the baby's name, I cut out a P for their last name. I used a matted frame, scrap book paper that read "baby boy" at the bottom, and the brown card stock to create that P.

Ok, one last picture... I wasn't going to show this one, but I also made a diaper wreath, and hung it on the back door. 
I also took off the curtains we had up and made some blue ones out of quilter's fabric. They only cost me $4! The diaper is off to oen side in this picture, but was eventually moved to the center. 

I wish I had better pictures for you, but I wanted you to see how everything turned out. I hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as we enjoyed the party! If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email.

    How did you chance the Wishes for Baby card? I found it as a PDF and am also looking to change the colors from orange to blue. Help!

DIY Hooded Towels

I just love the baby hooded towels, but my little one has grown out of them. I have been using regular towels on her, and I miss the hood. I came across this tutorial on how to make large sized hooded towels, but can't seem to find the tutorial anymore. I tried to recall as best I could, and tried to make a couple, here is what I came up with... This hooded towel is so easy to make and I LOVE how big they are! You can make any color you want, and add any color ribbon or fabric strips to the hood! Here is how I made this: First you will need a regular sized towel and a hand towel. You can also get matching ribbon or scrap fabric strips to add to the hood if you would like. I bough my two towels at Wal-Mart on sale for a little over $5. Take your hand towel, and cut it around 24 inches long. Fold your hand towel in half lengthwise, and cut your ribbon to the same size as the towel. Pin your ribbon to the towel, about 1 inch from the fold.  Now o

Maxi Skirt Tutorial

Here is a maxi skirt I made and wore for Thanksgiving. It is so easy and inexpensive to make!  Material: Fabric: You will need to pick out the fabric material and color you want. I used a stretch knit from Joann's Fabric. (Don't forget to use your coupons when buying your fabric!) Elastic band First, you will need to measure how much fabric you will need. I measured from where I wanted the skirt to start, down to the floor, for the length. For my skirt, I got 45'' in length (keep in mind the type if shoes you will be wearing with your skirt. For flats, it will need to be shorter, for heels, measure longer.) The great thing about this material is that I did not need to finish any edges! It will not fray and looks fine unfinished. Woo hoo! :) Next, you will need to measure your waist for the elastic length. Keep in mind that your length will need to be about an inch shorter than your waist measurement. The elastic will stretch and fit your waist snug. If

Graduation Cupcake Stand

Here is a graduation cupcake stand I was asked to make for a party this Saturday. The school colors are hunter green and gold. I bought the fabric and trims from Joann's fabric. The top is a graduation cap with a tassel I made. I took a 10inch cake board, and cut it into a 7'' square, then wrapped it in back. I added a button that I wrapped in the same black fabric and a tassel I made out of embroidery thread. The great thing about the top, is that you can put cupcakes on it as well as the other layers! Find the cupcake stand tutorial HERE ! Check out the new post !  Nook update!
