The addiction of cute

BRAG ALERT!

Bet you didn't know this...Crystal is a quilter, too. She'll tell you she's not that experienced, or tell you something she thinks is a flaw in her work, but I think she's brilliant! She made my little angel a quilt and my family will treasure it forever! She also made one for a close friend of ours and her little boy. When I asked her why quilting, she said "because fabric is like paper, and I want it all!"

I just had to share this with our creative pals! (not too mention it's today's theme in the parade!)

Happy Craftin!

Soon-to-be pins

We're back with more of our homemade baby shower ideas from Kelli's shower!  Awhile back we were shopping around our local craft store for some decorating supplies when we came across some pins designed especially for baby showers.  There was a pin for the Soon-to-be Mom, Soon-to-be Grandma, etc.  We really liked the idea of giving Kelli's family something special to highlight their new role.  Also, Kelli's mom is EXTREMELY excited to be a grandma again, so we just knew she would love a button to make sure everyone at the shower could see that she is the grandma-to-be! The problem - the pins we saw at the store were U-G-L-Y  and the colors definitely did not match her shower theme.  So what do we do?? Make our own of course!

Here's how we made them...

Last Minute Cupcake Tower

Over the weekend we had Kelli's baby shower with family and friends.  We had been planning to have a special cake for her, but late last week the plans changed to cupcakes instead.  So, we decided to whip up a fun little tower to display the delicious cupcakes. We were actually kind of glad the plans changed to cupcakes because the display turned out super cute! 

Here's how you can make a cupcake tower like ours...

Baby Shower #1

It's been a busy week! Kelli is expecting her first child in May and we had her very first baby shower!  It was a lot of fun and of course I wanted to use my crafty skillz to make all the decorations.  Since the shower was at work we had a tea luncheon in the conference room for her.  Kelli and her husband received all sorts of fun things for the baby. As a special thank you, Kelli made some tea favors for all of the guests. 

Check back later this week and we will show you how she made them!
