Crafty Tuesday

Last week’s Crafty Tuesday is courtesy of a little baby shower we threw together for Kaori, our pianist that helps out during the girls’ choir practices. She is due in a week with a little girl and we wanted to put together a little quick, after-choir celebration from the kids.

Her nursery is yellow and gray (LOVE!) and since we had to have the shower at church, and after choir (before dinner) it was just a little “quickie” shower where everyone brought munchies.

I found some yellow and gray paper and made a little bunting – my new favorite things. I cut the flags out of paper and tied them together with some baby yellow yarn.

I made some tissue paper flowers – which are TOTALLY easy to do (learn how here!)…

But we had a few difficulties with the space and planning. I had intended on all of the tissue flowers to hang over the table at various heights, but the 20 foot ceilings in the hall didn’t allow for us to hang anything from the ceilings.

My “baby clothesline” didn’t quite work as envisioned either…there really wasn’t any place to hang it, or the bunting…we just made do.

My favorite was the onesie that Jamie and I put together for the future little chorister…

That, and watching the kids get so excited when Kaori opened the box o’ baby things that the choir gave her.

  1. The flowers you made are just like the tops to my Tuffula Trees I made for the kids’ party. The only difference is that I didn’t cut mine in half and I cut the ends jagged and not round. So easy and fun.

  2. I hope California knows what a gift you are — everything you make is perfect! LOVE that choir tee shirt for the new baby girl! How fun for those kids to be a part of a shower for their choir helper! Great job as usual!

  3. This mama must have loved her baby shower! Great job!! I loved the bunting Such beautiful pastel patterns. And the choir onsie! Cool!
    Here is what I have to share this week.
