Baby Shower

 This past Saturday we finally had my sisters baby shower for my nephew Lukas  (name finalized). After much planning and shopping and setting up, it was a great shower. Food was delicious (ordered from a local deli Spera's). She got just about everything on her registry along with lots of Diapers due to the diaper raffle. Anyone planning a baby shower should definitely do a Diaper Raffle (prices of diapers these days are ridiculous), we had to gifts to raffle off. (Bottle of Red Cat Wine w/ Gertrude Hawk Chocolate, and variety of lotions from Bath & Body Works). We ordered the cake from Cakes By Michele, it was Chocolate on top and chocolate chip on bottom; very delicious.  My mother painted the LUKAS letters to fit the theme that my sister is able to use as nursery decor afterwards!

 We used baby turquoise tulle ribbon to run down the centers of the tables. The placemats are single scrapbook paper (2 different ones), I handmade the B-A-B-Y tent cards for the center of tables along with a glass jar with candy and little pinwheels.

 We gave mini anti-bacterial for hands from Bath and Body Works as favors to our guests.

 My sister got a Diaper basket, Diaper Cake, and a Diaper Baby from family.

Overall, the baby shower was a success. I also quilted a baby blanket for Lukas, along with sewed a bunting banner for his room. Those pictures will be posted in my Krafty Corner page of my blog.  I'm glad that it is finally over so I can focus elsewhere like creating more in my new Kraft Corner/room in the house! 

Since my last post!

Been busy planning my sisters baby shower for my little nephew. They have finally finalized a name 'Lukas Allen'. I'm so excited and looking forward to the new addition to our family. I have been trying to make a quilt for him. But I had my sewing machine break and had to fix it along with trying to learn the process of making a quilt. I've done placemats and baby doll blankets but not anything so big.  This is the top layer of the quilt:

This is the back layer, batting, and top layer:

I'm in the process of basting and deciding on what type of quilt pattern to use on it also waiting for my walking foot to come in the mail. 

 I also I want to try and make a bunting banner for the baby shower. I came up with some other ideas for the shower. I'll put pictures up next Sunday. 

Also, I was busy celebrating my 27th birthday! I got to spend some time with my old bear, friends, and family. I'm looking forward to this coming year and seeing what's in store for me.
