Happy Halloween!

I made this mummy for my son to wake up to today and set this up at his seat for breakfast! He was so surprised! Thank you pinterest.com!  They have the best ideas on there! I used the wire from my hangers and shaped the body, then ripped up an old t-shirt and wrapped the wire!  It was easy and fun and my son has a new bendy mummy to play with!

Baby Rosette Headband

My newest project is a baby headband with a rosette. I made this for my boyfriend's sister who is pregnant right now. It turned out really well! I didn't even use a sewing machine! It turned out better than I had anticipated. I hope she likes it!

My First Order Filled!

I have started selling hangers and I just delivered my first filled order! The order was for 2 bridal hangers that say "matt & renee". My son designed my cute little labels /tags! I got hangers with notches in them so that a dress will stay on easier and I used a thicker gauged wire! I love the new look of them and they are WAY more durable!

Baby Shower Decorations

I am in charge of the decorations for a baby shower this weekend! I love planning and decorating so I am super excited for this! I hope the guest of honor loves it!

I also DIYed some of the gifts! I made 3 hangers, a word art picture and



Baby Hangers!!!!



The first thing I made is the baby's first initial out of corrugated poster board and tissue paper flowers. Here is the end result:

W is for Willow

I also made 3 banners that say "It's a girl", "Willow" and "Gift Table"



"It's A Girl"



Closer view



To hang from the ceiling, I made tissue paper flower balls



Tissue Paper Flower Balls



I still have to finish the banners and am going to make cake pops! I will post more photos as I complete each thing! The shower is in 4 days, so I better get a move on!

October 9,2011
The baby shower was a success! Everyone LOVED the decorations and I received some orders for hangers!

The cieling was WAY too high to hang these from, so we were forced to improvise!

'Gift Table' Banner

The banners had to be hung here because of the ceiling height and the letters were flopping over, so next time I need to improve upon that!

Cake Balls!

Yum! A success!

Cake Pops!
