Winter in August Baby Shower

Baby C, baby shower

I was out shopping for baby shower decorations when I happened upon something exciting: Christmas decorations. First off, let me go ahead and lay it all out there: Yes, I am a freak and I am the reason that stores begin stocking their shelves with Christmas merchandise in July. I get super happy excited butterflies flitting around my belly when I see the first of Christmas hit the shelves. So needless to say, I was awestruck when I saw the aisle in mid-construction. Never mind that I’d just spent an hour searching for the perfect blue/orange accents for my modern baby theme. Forget that! I thought to myself as I chucked the items out of my basket. So instead of modern baby, I’m going with WINTER in AUGUST!

Yeah buddy.

Alright, before you just toss off my idea like last year’s harem pants (which, I am proud to say, I never dabbled in), think about it for a second. I don’t know whereabout you live, but where I am there are currently record-breaking temperatures going on. The heat is so bad that when I step out of my apartment at night, I feel as though I’m stepping into a furnace. Just the other night it was so hot that when I woke up from a delicious dream about dipping into a pool of ice (from Sonic), I cried. A little bit. Though the tears may have been the sweat dripping from my face… But that’s another story.

Alright so back on topic: I’ve FOUND my THEME!!!

So I bought some snowflakes. Ok, I bought a couple dozen snowflakes. And at the behest of my shopping company, I also bought a few baby blue tablecloths.

Snow and ice. Mmm…

So I’m thinking of snowflakes and booties, booties and snowflakes. It’s rainin’ men? Nah. It’s snowing babies!

Facebook peeps: I’ll be back as soon as my load lightens up a bit! And as for you, wily readers, I’ll have more progress pics up tomorrow so be sure to check back in around this time…

Baby Shower Project #1

baby booties, Baby C, baby shower

First up on the table (literally!): Baby Booties. I’m going to set these on the tables as decorations. Check me out on Ravelry for the first pair of booties.

Baby Booties

You should be able to access the link whether or not you’re a Ravelry member.

One pair down… A million more to go.

I’ve also started on a piece of art for the baby’s wall. It is busy drying right now (papier mache can take DAYS to dry) and I can’t finish up the paint until everything is set. I’ll post pics when it is finished.

The booties inspired me to have the rest of the decorations be stuff that Baby C’s mama can use for the baby after the shower.

Back to the grind…

Woodland Baby Shower

baby shower

I have changed my mind about the baby shower theme. Something just wasn’t striking me as right about the Cirque du Bebe theme. It is beautiful, don’t get me wrong, it just didn’t fit quite properly.

I’ve now decided on a woodland/forest theme. Basically your basic fairy forest theme, minus the fairy (as this shower is for a BOY!!). I’m thinking deep green and brown tablecloths, fairy lights (a.k.a. twinkle lights or Christmas lights, whatever you may call them), flowers, woodland creatures (owls, etc.), and trees. And maybe a gnome or two will sneak their way in.

Right now I’m in the process of picking out some flower patterns (that’s right folks, I have another excuse to crochet!) and browsing around on various crafty websites, looking for ideas. Of course there will be need for leaves and climbing vines. I’m not sure how I’ll attach these items (I have yet to check out the room in question) but I’ll figure something out. I hear you can do fabulous things with Command hooks, though I have yet to try them myself.

Cirque Du BOY!!! Bebe

baby shower, gifts, links, Nash's shower

She’s having a BOY!!! She already has a little girl and having two boys myself, I thought that a boy would be a great addition. Of course, I would have loved either gender but I am super excited that she’s having a BOY!!!

I’m still working on the location of the event. I’m attempting to keep the cost minimal for the space itself as I want to be able to spend the bulk of my budget on the decorations and food. However, the theme isn’t quite as evasive. I fell in love with the Cirque du Bebe theme from Hostess with the Mostess and I totally want to go with that. I’m not into animal prints, even at the height of their popularity, so since they are on their way OUT (thank goodness. I am sincerely not a fan.) again I’ll happily skip that part of the theme. Instead I’ll likely pull in some modern chic type thing. Yeah, kinda undecided on what the filler will be. But I can tell you this: it will be fantastic!!

I’m co-hosting the baby shower with my friend’s (hereafter known as Nash) mom and another friend of Nash’s. So while I may be extremely attached to the idea of a Cirque Du Bebe shower, I have to wait for their input. I’m hoping that they love it too!

While browsing around seeing if there was another theme that caught my eye, I stumbled upon Festival du Bebe. I like that theme as well and though I’d like to center on orange and blue for the main colors, I want to incorporate some of those ideas into the shower.

So my friend is having a BABY and I’m throwing her a shower! The date is late July but obviously, in the world of a busy working mama, that is just around the corner. Already I’ve started brainstorming for the BEST. Baby. Shower. EVER!!! (Can you tell I’m a wee bit excited about the thought of throwing my first shower?)

Obviously, I have been googling my little heart out in search for some of the bestest decorations, games, presents, etc. Here follows some things I’ve stumbled upon (no pun intended for those of you who use Stumble Upon)…

baby gift, baby shower, friend's, Friend's Baby Bean, gif, gifts

Oh man. I suck. In the midst of everything going on in my life, I missed Friend’s Baby Bean baby shower. Oh man. I didn’t even realize it until I saw the pictures on her myspace profile. I suck.

Added to my suckivity (what? I make up words all the time, get used to it.) is the fact that I haven’t even begun any of her gifts yet. If you remember, I made a list in my A New Baby post of things that I was going to make her. She’s due in May which gives me roughly six weeks to get her stuff done. Since I have to put a rush on it, here’s the new list:

  1. Crocheted cable stitch hat
  2. Fleece baby blanket
  3. Washcloths
  4. Hooded towel
  5. Bib
  6. Burpcloth
  7. Baby toy

Honestly, I’m not sure how much I’ll make and how much I’ll buy. Only time will tell.
