That’s why we women like to get together and give them showers.  So, my friend, Tracy, needed a shower for her new baby.  I was happy to oblige.  This was the first shower I’ve hosted all on my own..  It was a lot of work (only because I probably went over the top) but it was a lot of fun too.

My first try with fondant!  I made this adorable elephant by watching a youtube video (be forewarned:  the artist is wearing a low cut shirt…but the music is fun to dance to while you’re making the elephant).  Okay, if you folks don’t say it, I will…I think she’s adorable.  I didn’t make her on my own though.  I shaped her and Zoe helped stick her body parts on.  Zoe also is responsible for cutting out almost all of those polka dots.

I made that pennant up there too.  That was super easy!  (I would include the directions I used but I can’t seem to find them…anyway, it’s basically cut out the pattern from paper/newspapaer…that’s a triangle, put a heavy weight fusible interfacing on the bag and fold a ribbon in half and sew it on each triangle and tie together…tada!)
