Showers and Sweets

Wedding showers and sweets go hand in hand. Here's a few sweet shots from recent wedding showers.
The first few were from Courtney's personal shower given by her Aunt Gina and sister, Kaleigh. 
 Oh, my! but these were good!



This photo shows a portion of the clothesline where each of her shower gifts were hung with cute painted clothes pins. The precious picture is of Courtney when she was about three.

The following sweet shots are from the shower given to Courtney by several family members and friends. Thank you Aunt Vicky for opening your home!
Take a look at this adorable banner made from 2" scraps of material, knotted together along a length of rope. I love this idea!
We've used this technique to make ballet style skirts for costumes but think of the ways this could be used? You know me, my first thought was a window valance!

Thank you to all the sweet friends and family who made these occasions so special!
Wedding Countdown: 8 days!

    Oh, Sonya, that is the sweetest most perfect shower ever. Courtney is one lucky girl to have aunts, mom and sisters like that. My mind is whirling on the table skirt. I once did a "stage" skirt like that for a play room out of tulle, but in fabric it is wonderful.

    Everything looks wonderful, Sonya! I do love that banner. I may have to try something like that for my granddaughter's first birthday party ~ I mean, I have SO MUCH fabric here! The date is coming up fast. Just stay calm! : )

    Creativity runs deep in that circle of yours, Sonya. Love the scrap bunting, it caught my eye right away! The beads and baubles make everything look so delicate and feminine. Courtney & Drew are so cute! Hugs, Ki
