how to make a baby bouquet



I love the baby bunch bouquets from http://www.babybunch.com/content/test but am just to cheap to buy one.  I decided to try to make one for my best friend.  I goggled baby bunch bouquet directions and found the Martha Stewart had directions.  Check them out here: http://www.marthastewart.com/article/baby-bunch-bouquet  this was so much easier than I thought it would be.  I "planted" the bouquet into a clay pot and ta-da! a wonderful gift for the mommy to be. 
I used 1 onesie, a t-shirt, bib, 2 pairs of socks and 5 hats to make mine.  I just folded and rolled them up, stuck some florist wire inside and added the leaves and flowers.  Next time I will find a way to attach the wire inside before i roll them so they stay put a little better.  This would be a great gift for a mom at the hospital or at a shower.  I had fun picking out the outfits so the "bouquet" would have allot of color.

wedding project #2

 or 3 depending on how your counting.  Tulle pom poms.  I LOVE THESE!!!!!!!  I found these on Martha Stewart weddings. Here's a link to the directions:  http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/article/tulle-or-net-pom-poms-how-to

We hung these over the bar (that's my nephew, he poured the sodas).  They were really easy and could be used anywhere.  If you hung a few on pieces of ribbon they would be great in a nursery! 



This is my sister and me being silly the day before the wedding. We set everything that wouldn't get ruined with a little dew the day before so we wouldn't have to do to much the day of.
