baby shower gifts

As always my weekend did not go as I had planned.

All those wonderful projects I wanted to at least work on went to the wayside.

We enjoyed a BBQ and graduation with friends Friday night.

Saturday I did laundry, made up a meal plan and went grocery shopping.

(I shop an hour away from home so it becomes a 4-5 hour event.)

Sunday I could not get out of bed!

When I finally did I had to rush to get ready and make my gifts before the baby shower.

It always amazes me how quickly 5 hours will fly by!

To be fair I did have to run across town when an element of my gift wasn't working.

For being in such a hurry though I have to say that I'm pretty proud of my gifts.

A baby sock flower arrangement and onesie cupcakes.

Originally I wanted to make a baby sock topiary but didn't have enough socks.

Knowing I still wanted to use the baby sock roses I came up with the idea for the arrangement, and love it!

Now for the onesies...

In my inspiration post last week I shared an adorable idea for making onesies look like cupcakes.

Try as I might I could not get my onesies to look like that and after half an hour of trying I gave up.

I rolled them up thinking I would add them to the arrangement but didn't like it.

At this point I was out of time...

The rolled up onesies just went in the cake box as is.

It wasn't until I stood back to take this picture that I realized just how cute it all turned out!

The baby shower was fun, but all that baby stuff made my ovaries ache.

I spent the rest of Sunday day dreaming,

too distracted to be creative.

This weekend I'm taking Friday off too, lets hope with the extra day I can get more done!
