Cousin Danyelle's Bridal Shower

On Saturday, my mom and I hosted a bridal shower for my cousin, Danyelle. Everything turned out really great, despite the horrible weather. I just hope she was happy with what we did ; ) I "stole" this idea from another shower I did some scrap booking for: guests had to fill out a piece of advice for the newlyweds and then I took a picture of the bride along with the person that filled out the advice. I'm then going to put the advice and the picture in a book as a keepsake.
I made a card box that Danyelle and Chris can use at the reception. I used a regular box, some craft paper, and the bride and groom that I hadmade for the invitations as accents for the box.

Gift table

We bought a plainly decorated cake and I made more of the bride and groom accents that I used for the invitations and the gift box.

Cake table. I found some really cute napkins with a "D" on them and I also found the cute "D" and "C" pots at Hobby Lobby. I put Gerber daisies in the pots since those are her bouquet flowers.

Little Miss Muffet & The Three Pigs

Here is my first attempt at some embroidery. I chose the Three Pigs to try first. Not too bad, if I do say so myself. I decided to do the "Red" pig a lighter color since I imagined her as a "she."

Here is Little Miss Muffet. Her curls gave me a bit of a challenge, but overall, she was pretty easy. The polka dots on her dress were supposed to be French knots, but I decided to cross stitch them instead.

This is a closer look at Miss Muffet.

Little Boy Blue and the Three Bears are next...

Vintage Tea Towels

I'm in the process of embroidering some vintage looking tea towels. As I finish them, I will post the pictures here. I can cross stitch like on one's business, but these are my first attempts at embroidery. The designs are vintage kids' stories and nursery rhymes. I hope you like them!
