OK a little off topic here.....
A few months ago I mentioned that my DD was expecting her first baby. I have to send a huge thank you to SallyfromDE for my pinterest invite because I took the beautiful ideas and planned Rachel's shower. Anyway, I stopped posting because Rachel is on the boards and the shower was a surprise, I don't know how planning a party consumed my life but it did. I had nothing to post because what little I was sewing was for the party. Now that it's over I can share the pictures with you.
The shower was held at my Mom's house, Rachel thought we were going to work around Grandmoms house and then have dinner for my nephews6th birthday. We stopped on the way at the dollar store and bought 10 birthday balloons and I made sure I was busy so she had to carry them! She walked in with all the balloons and everyone yelled surprise! She never saw it coming
Here she is with my Mom pinning on her corsage

I made a tricycle diaper and the blocks with baby pics of Rachel

Diaper Cake

This is where she sat to open her gifts. This is a very old rocking chair that had a very dark finish on it. My Mom stripped the finish and refinished it in a cherry wood finish so it better matches the crib. It still looks dark in this picture but it's much lighter than it was and know has a red hue to it

We set up 3 tables and had lunch on the porch.

My youngest daughter, Abby, made the cake

I bought white frames at Target and glued lace ribbon to them, put different sayings in them and put them throughout the house

The birds say best wishes and advice for Rachel, and each guest filled out one or two
[/IMG]
My Mom made wreaths
[/IMG]
Finally I made an outfit with matching bonnet and shoes
[/IMG]
Love the ducky buttons

Last but not least my Grandson's first disney custom. A reversible romper

It was a great day, thanks for letting me share it with you.
