Time for a quick baby shower update. All the guests have been invited, and believe it or not, most of them are already dressed for the occasion, even Kendra. Her husband, Nathaniel will be joining her, but he will probably be the only male there. Kids are welcome, so we will see just a couple of them in the crowd. Now people are in the gift buying stages. Of course, that means extra work for me.
I found these little, and I do mean little, metal baby cups on Etsy last year. I think they are little charms. My plan at the time, was to make and sell baby gift baskets.
What's a baby shower without a diaper cake? I started one last night. I still have to add all the decorations.
In the basket so far are Johnson baby products (I made from clay) and a couple of baby bottles (purchased from the Dollar store). The cute basket was spray painted white. It's another great thrift store find of my mom's about a year ago. There were about ten assorted mini baskets. I will probably be doing baskets and diaper cakes for the store in the near future.
And for those of you who have asked for cribs, production has begun. The first one is complete and ready to be stained. The others won't be too far behind.
The little baby cup is adorable! And the diaper cake is a cool idea. I've never heard of one before. I like the little baskets also. I'm thinking I could use those to put plants or other things in and decorate some of my doll's rooms. Great job on the crib also. :-)
ReplyDeleteCindi - You've never heard of diaper cakes? Search them on the internet. They are really lovely gifts. Plants in the baskets are a great idea, too. I am supposed to be doing all sorts of gift baskets. I have another one started that might be given to Kendra. It a pampering basket.
DeleteI love all the details, from the cup to the diaper cake! Your imagination and creativity has no limits, that I learn every time I visit your blog. I'm sure the baby shower will be a success!
ReplyDeleteRossetti - Thanks. Sometimes I wish I didn't have so many ideas that I'm trying to do. I always feel like I'm behind.
DeleteHello from Spain, i adore your baby details. You are the best. Your baby shower Will be very fun. I can not wait to see the party. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta - Thanks so much. Baby showers in real life are so much fun. I'm sure Kendra's will be just as fun.

ReplyDeleteLoving it all Vanessa. I guess I'll be searching for diaper cake too, never heard of! Your attention to detain is amazing!
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Miss Kitty & Loretta
Loretta - Thanks. With all those grandkids, you've never heard of a diaper cake. They are the perfect usable gift. A great way to give pampers and make them look pretty. Tell Miss Kitty Bruce says hello.
DeleteAll the baby items are adorable! The diaper cake is too cute. Looks like everything is coming together nicely. I'm sure Kendra will be pleased. :)
ReplyDeleteadrian - Thanks. I started decorating the diaper cake today. I think my doll alter ego will be gifting this to Kendra.
DeleteHola, desde Mexico, que bonitas botellitas! Eres muy creativo. Saludos.
ReplyDeleteHola. Gracias! Le agradezco sus amables palabras.
DeleteGirl you have been on a roll. Everything is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteGrandmommy - Thanks. You know I'm trying to fit it all in.
DeleteThe diaper cake looks so pretty! I am looking forward to attending the shower...well viewing it. Lol! Vanessa, you are truly amazing!
ReplyDeleteGeorgia Girl - Thanks. I will tell Camille to save you a seat. LOL!
DeleteOoooh, can my girls send a gift?!

Heather - Kendra would never turn down a gift.
DeleteAs always, you amaze me. You made the baby products from polymer clay! WOW is an understatement! I have to put my talents on hold right now - had hand surgery. Difficult to type with one hand!
ReplyDeletePhyllis - Ouch! That sounds painful. Are you sure you should even be typing. Thanks for your wonderful comments. Now rest that hand!
DeleteIt's the poignant little details that always make your dioramas so special. I'm looking forward to seeing the diaper cake and the other baby items at the shower.
ReplyDeletelimbe dolls - Awww, thanks. My favorite saying from Oprah is 'love is in the details'.
DeleteLooking forward to the baby shower. I must admit I had never seen a diaper (we call them nappies) cake either so it will be good to see it all decorated. Actually most of the mums I know use disposables or nappy pads that fit into a nappy cover. Your baby cup and gift basket look good too. Kendra is going to have some lovely gifts.
ReplyDeleteCarrickters - I always enjoy hearing the differences in our cultures. The word nappy here has a not so wonderful meaning.
DeleteCan't wait to see the baby shower! With such lovely presents it sould be great!
ReplyDeleteV. - The first story was posted last night. Next story should be up in a couple of days.
