Baby Shower Planning

My best friend (who is due to have a baby the same day as my sister in law) found out the gender of her baby. It's a boy! What this means is that I get to begin planning a baby shower! Of course I went to Pinterest to look for some inspiration and it did not disappoint!


See?

In no way do I have the talent or patience to attempt something like this. But it's ADORABLE!

I've seen so many helpful tutorials on how to make poms out of tissue paper. It's definitely something I'm planning on doing! I already have green tissue paper too!

Mustache cupcake toppers! I must find a way to do this!!

Invites that come with their very own mustache. I love it!

Adorable cake bunting!

I really want to do this bunting. It wouldn't be very costly, especially if it's done with ribbon and scrapbook paper. Then I could send it home with her for decoration!

I love the paper lanterns. And the elephant cupcake toppers are so cute!

I'm not really a "sewer" but I need to learn...so I can make this for her baby!

I'm so excited for this. The shower will probably be thrown late August or Early September. Gotta plan early, folks!


In an unrelated note: I've decided on my next craft...it'll involve this category. I just need to go pick up a onesie - I already have the fabric. I'm excited!!!

Some Pinterest Finds!

I've been wasting more time than I should be on Pinterest today. I'm always looking for something else to try to bring more color into my dark living area.

I've been toying around with the idea of a DIY wreath for a while but I'm never sure what to go with. If I did one, I'd probably hang it inside the house. I'd hang it either above my accent table in the window, or on the back door facing inside. I don't have to decide right now.

But its fun to see what kinds of ideas there are to try - like these:

I love the blue bead wreath. The green one is made with acorns! Then there are the fun felt and yarn ones and even fun paper rosettes! The blue one is what I'd more than likely try first.

Another plan of mine is to add more color through pillows. I love texture in pillows, especially ruffle or flowered pillows! I might be in over my head but a part of me believes I could totally do it myself. Granted...I don't own a sewing machine, but that's never stopped me before!

I love all of these. While I know these would all take a lot of time...especially without the sewing machine, I think it can be done. Even by the likes of...me.

These are all "on the agenda" plans for future crafts but I love having the inspiration right there on pinterest so I can pin and click back to see how the pros put it together. I'm loving Pinterest!!

The pinterest searches used: ruffle pillow, wreaths and color searches!
