BABY SHOWER FUN

It was a fabulous evening for celebrating...and it seems like the most wonderful reason to hold a party!!
Alicia is having a baby! But beings we didn't know what it was for another week...we did black and white with muted yellow for our colors....it was so fun.

I had seen some little onsies made from dinner napkins and so I fashioned my own. Yes, these are made from dinner napkins backed with card stock. Talk about fun...I ran out of time instead of ideas. Just napkins and a little hot glue....

Made it myself...

Anyone that knows me knows that I love feminine things...so the fashion ruffle movement is really a great thing. If I could get away with it, I would wear them everyday....just love em.

So, I saw this pretty red sweater in a catalog and logged onto get mine....ah, ALL SOLD OUT. So I went to their local store...NONE. Went to another...NONE...not one red one, plenty of green...




But I didn't want GREEN ONE....I wanted a RED ONE....ah. It is alot of work being a fashionista wannabee....



So I marched right into Target and got myself a P L A I N red sweater and strolled right over to the red matching t shirts and got one of them too. (I even bought a size SM which I have NEVER DONE). And the total price was still 10 bucks below the price of the phantom red sweater in the afore paragraph.



Then I came home and cut that t-shirt right up and stitched it on....


I sewed 3 different sized petals on with triangle stitch patterns. I wanted a rose look.



And I think it turned out pretty darn cute...take that catalog, take that stores all over with NO RED sweaters! I WIN.
