Baby Carriage Favors

Hello,

My friend, Joan, called me last month.  She told me she needed baby boy favors.  Now that was music to my ears! She said she needed only 30 favors for three baby boys shower.  My thought was "that was little for 3 baby showers."  So I said,  Lindsy is expecting,  Desirae  just had a baby not too long ago, who are the other two expecting?  Joan said, Lindsy is expecting triplet and they are identical.   OMG! what a miracle! Both side of the family had no history of twin or triplet and there was no fertility involved.  How excited is that!

 I wanted to add embellishment but was afraid it would look girly so I just leave them plain.

I first learned to make the baby carriage from here. 

I am hoping to post the tutorial next week. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Baby Shower Favors

Hello,

I made 50 baby booties for my friend's daughter baby shower as gift.  I forgot to take the entire picture of the booties.  Here are a few of them.

 After crocheted 20 of the booties I got bored of looking at them.  I even thought they were not cute any more.  So I knit them instead.  Knit booties was inspired from here.  I changed the pattern to make the booties smaller.

 These booties are so small that they barely fit 4 mini Hershey's chocolate in it.

 I managed to fit 4 mini Hershey's chocolate in the booties.  I had 2 pieces in the sole and 2 more wrapped in the tulle.

I didn't want to feel awkward walking into the party empty handed so I made  this set for the gift table.  A football  hat and a set of leg warmer in the color of the Philadelphia Eagle team color.

 Crochet football hat tutorial tutorial.

The leg warmer was my own pattern.  I will share it when I have more time.

Thanks for visiting!  Have a marvelous Monday!

Baby Shoe Gift Card/Goodies Holder

Hello,

I made this since last year but I don't think I ever share this.

The shoes fit gift card perfectly and it can also hold other goodies for baby shower.  I got the template from splistcoast stamper a few years ago. The template is no longer there.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Baby Carriages

Good Morning Everyone!

Phew! I finally finished my other half of the baby shower order.  They are baby carriage favors.  I made 20 of them.  Each has a little something different.

 The small pink handles were from the Swirls Scribbles. I cut parts of the swirls off.  The long brown handles were from a die cut called Flourish.  I only cut the very bottom of the Flourish.  Each baby carriage had four handles.  I mounted the card stock to the chip board for sturdiness. The Swirls Scribbles handles actually had six pieces. I glued three swirls on each side because the Sizzlits Dies only cut card stocks.  So each baby carriage had about 30 pieces total. Michelle at Pink Paper Paradise had a tutorial on the baby carriage.  Thank you Michelle for the tutorial.  The compartment was inspired from here.

 Adding the compartment was the hardest.  I didn't find a better way until I was more than half way done.  Here is a picture when to add the compartment.

When adhere the long piece of card stock to form the carriage stop half way and then glue the compartment in.  I learned the hard way.  So hopefully this will help you.  Also, I cut the four circles/ovals the same size this way I have a clean look on the inside.  The tiny cut edges are between the outside pattern papers and the inside card stock.

 Here is a completed 3 tier cake.  I added a flower to each of the icing.  Ann asked to leave the center of the cake empty so she could place a pregnant woman in the center.  How cut is that going to be?

 I don't bake or entertain so I don't own any baking silver ware or any large China.  So this round stool will do for now.

Here is the inside of the cake.  Delicious, isn't it?

Thank you so much for taking a peek.  Have a wonderful weekend!
