Jasmin's Baby Shower March 2012

CROCHETED BLANKET FOR THE NEWEST BABY LUNDGREN Its my thing to be the one who makes the homemade blankets for events like this. I sort of took over that tradition when my Mother passed away. Since we dont know the sex of this little peanut...I thought it was approprate to make this in yellow & green. I've had alot going on in my life so I decided to make this pattern as simple as possible. I just did double crochets the whole way through. 10 rows per color..and the white in between is done in single crochets, 4 rows of each. I was very pleased with how this came out.
My sister and I found these cute bibs and I thought it would be even cuter to sew our names in them..lol I think it was a hit at the shower :)
FAVORS I decided for Jasmin's shower I'd do her favors a little different. Since she is due in the Spring, I thought a nice bouquet of Rice Krispies lollipops dipped in pastel colored chocolates. Since Jasmin is also a fan of Winnie the Pooh, I thought it might be cute to have the flowers done in Poohs honey pot. I thought they came out adorable.
DIAPER CAKES So, once again I decided to get creative with some of the diapers I bought for my brother and sister in law's new baby due at the end of April. The first is your traditional diaper layer cake. The second is a Winnie the Pooh w/ his honey pot diaper cake and the third is a cool Motorcycle cake. I was very pleased with how these came out! Not only did they make great gifts, but they also made awesome decorations for the Shower!!
