i waited till close to the last minuet to make banners, paper flower bouquets, and to sew baby gifts.
today i'll clean, bake, and try to figure out how to fit 30 people in my home for tomorrow's celebration.
i'll take lots of pix of the event, and send you links so you too can learn how to create your own pretties.
in the meantime enjoy a few handmade items from someone who use to be afraid of handmade.
one of my new favorite, creative blogs is How About Orange. where i have found too many handmade things to try my hand at. i have been surprised by what i can do! these gift bows made from magazine pages were easy-peasy! so easy in fact i may never buy a bag of a dozen gift bows for a $1 again.
we recently attended two first birthday parties, both with the cupcake theme.
i whipped up these darling little cupcake shirts for the birthday girls.
they look delicious to this fairly new appliquer.

and because i was going applicrazy i had to make each birthday girl
another shirt with an ME look.
What are your weekend plans?
Are you a fan of handmade or do you fear it?
