Quick and Easy Handmade Centerpieces

So I am going through all of my photos and finding so many photos of things I made and never blogged about! 

A friend asked me to help her with some quick and easy centerpieces for 

a small shower. 

The couple was expecting their second child, a boy!

I made some simple dark and light blue flowers - 2 small and 2 large

The small flowers had little blue baby feet in the center while the large flowers had a photo of the family in the center. 

I found some really inexpensive but cute blue ceramic pots at Michaels and added some brown shredded packing material to the pot as a filler. 

They were super easy, quick and came out so cute. 

 I also helped make cute little tags for the favors.

Barnyard Birthday

I don't believe I have ever highlighted my barnyard invitation design.

It's pretty cute.....

Horse, cow, pig and chick are all hand cut and placed on the invitation making them 3-D. 

I have a Barnyard Birthday themed board on Pinterest filled with other great ideas for your Barn Yard themed parties! 

Feel free to share your great ideas for a super barn yard party!

The island of misfit designs.....

As I was sorting my photos the other day, I came across many photos of things I made but never got a chance to list for sale in my Etsy shop.  I really loved some of the items and really need to sit down and make some to photograph or fine tune the design so that it can be mass produced. Anyway....I thought I'd share some of my favorites here and perhaps you'll see these in the future as a regular store item. Of course, if you love something just contact me and I'd be happy to make it for you.

The above two invitations were designs for a butterfly themed baby shower. The theme was Butterflies and the color was peach. Love these! 

Baby Shower - Baseball Theme

A client contacted me and wanted wedding invitations with a Tiger Lily design. Her colors were orange and brown. It never worked out but I would have loved to fine tune these designs.

The above to designs were for a Baby Shower Luau! 

A sushi and sake party! 3-D Sushi!! 

Baby Jungle Animal Theme dolled up! 

I am sure I can find more if I dig around, it's amazing how many things go through the design phase but never make it to production. Many of the above items, were produced for the customer who requested the custom item and I just haven't had a moment to list the design for sale in my shop!

A Lovey for my Lovey...

One thing I received a ton of at my Baby Shower was blankets! Emma has more blankets than she will ever use.  The thing about these blankets is that they are all so big - I wanted her to have something that she could carry around - kind of like Linus.

So (after seeing a beautiful and soft full sized blanket that she made) I asked my wonderful Etsy friend and Sneaker Just for the Shell of It if she could make a "Lovey" for my Emma.

I am so glad I did.....

Want one for your Lovey?

She has some full size blankies and a few lovey's in her shop!
