This Saturday, I helped host a baby shower for Sabrina!!! She is due with Lynlee Faith in September! I absolutely cannot wait for her to arrive!!!!
I had so much fun doing my part for the shower and working with all of the other hostesses! I was in charge of the wreath for the front door and making the breakfast casserole! I had seen a friend make a moss covered wreath for her friend's baby shower so I decided I would try it. I was very nervous that it would not turn out since I am not really all that crafty! I was also not convinced that it would stay together until the shower was over and it survived! Ha! Sabrina and the others really liked itso I think it was a success!
I started with two rectangular foam shapes from Hobby Lobby. I cut the corners off of the rectangles with floss (which worked great!) so that it would not be such a big letter.
Then, I used a knife and cut a slit through one of the forms for the pink ribbon. Next, I glued the two shapes together to make an "L." I first tried glue that is specifically for glueing styrofoam together. It did nothing but drip on my counter. So, then I moved on to hot glue which worked great!
Finally, I hot glued reindeer moss from Hobby Lobby onto the entire form all the way around. I was surprised that I did not even need 3 full bags of moss! Here is the final product hanging at the shower!
The only thing I would change if I make another one is to use a stiffer ribbon, maybe with some wire in it so that I could make a bigger, prettier bow!
Here is my breakfast casserole along with all of the other food at the shower! All of the hostess did such a great job with their food so everything tasted delicious!
As a gift for Lynlee, I wanted to make an outfit since I have been learning to sew! I made the Taylor bubble in turquoise and white checked fabric! I picked this fabric since it is not pink and since she may have red hair like her Momma! It is not perfect and I made a mistake with the snaps, but overall, I think it turned out well! I want to make so many more things for Lynlee!
Here are a few more pictures from the shower! Katie has a beautiful house in Homewood that worked perfectly for the shower! We had a great turnout and Sabrina recieved so many wonderful gifts!! Now, we just wait for Lynlee to arrive!
