Camera Shy

Yesterday I helped throw a baby shower for a dear friend. I helped with food, games, and made her a lovely gift. The only problem, I forgot to take pictures of the final projects!!!! I guess it's not a big deal, I can always take pictures of the gifts when I visit my dear friend or take pictures of the new baby with the gifts.

I made my dear friend a cute tote using some adorable fabric I bought online, a cute little taggie toy, bee themed thank you cards and I finished (ha, it's not finished, I still need to sew in the ends, but I still gave it to her at the shower) the colourful blanket I was making for myself if I had a girl. She doesn't know what she is having but I knew she would like the colours and she can use it in the future if she has a boy this time round- although I secretly think she's having a girl!!!!!!

I do, however, have a picture of the cupcakes, Oreo pops, and the fruit skewers we made (the picture of the fruit is from another dear friend's party, but they looked exactly the same!).


Vanilla cupcakes with blueberry jam frosting!


Oreo pops as favours!


Rainbow fruit skewers!

Well, hopefully I can post pictures of the gifts I made my dear friend soon...

...long time no blog!

Oy, it has been a while! So much has happened in the last 2 months (oh dear, 2 months and I'm just getting around to blogging...). Liam has outgrown all of his hats I've made him. I started an owl hat for him but surprise, surprise I never finished it! I did however, manage to make him an adorable bear hat. It reminded me of a cute little grizzly bear hat. Also, the 2 blankets I started for "baby#2" are only about half finished....

Well, I said I would post pictures so here we go...

This is Liam about a week old wearing his grizzly bear hat :)


Tummy time!

I have also started making baby "moby" style wraps but I haven't been able to take a decent picture where Liam and I look somewhat normal at the same time, so that might not be posted anytime soon. Also, I have been busy crafting and baking but silly me forgot to take pictures!!! I was able to make a cute purple and pink tutu for Shepherd's girlfriend's 2nd birthday as well as a frilly apron for her :). And last weekend I was able to whip up some homemade lemon cupcakes with strawberry frosting!! YUM!

Alright, both kids are asleep and if I want to be able to make it through my 2am date with Liam I best be off to bed. Thanks for putting up with my gibberish!
