I have been wanting one of those small greenhouses for a very long time and a while ago I found this one on sale at Hobby Lobby!
I couldn't believe it when I saw these pricetags:


I asked the cashier why it was priced so low she told me that it was the display model and it didn't have a box or instructions...Well I snatched it up! And voila!...

Baby Time!

A friend of mine is having a baby...I almost never go to baby showers and I've never thrown one... until yesterday!  It was so much fun getting everything ready! I didn't want there to be too much of a theme but I did want something really special for the invitations.  I made a booklet style invitation with a children's classic on each page and sewed the pages onto the back cardstock.     I never do "girly" things and I took this as an opportunity to use predominately feminine colors. There are white Christmas lights strung underneath the table and I LOVE how it turned out!         Mason jar glasses with a simple ribbon bow and a paper straw.       The curtain is white crepe paper streamers that I stuck fabric and paper flowers to.

My friend Katie has two amazing kids and I love them like crazy!  I wanted to make them some softies and knew right away that I would do a pink bear for her little girl.  I wanted to do either a lizard or a dragon for her little guy but he couldn't choose between them so we went with both :-) All patterns are available on Ravelry   Her son did the honors of naming each animal.  The bear is Girl Bear, the dragon is Spikes, and the Chameleon is Corndog LOL! Girl bear looks different now than pictured because I chickened out about using the plastic eyes for a baby... She's not as cute with the crocheted eyes but definitely safer!
