What have I been up to – Part 1…..The baby shower!
We (being the fabulous girls I have mothers group with) have 4 girls (including me) currently pregnant with #2! 2 are due any time soon, so we decided to throw them a little baby shower. Nothing over the top and just an afternoon tea when we normally have mum’s group and me being the planner, held the soiree at my house.



Lastly, I made some tissue poms…..I’m not really happy with how they turned out, but they are OK for a first attempt! I also had the white Chinese lanterns laying about from decorating my brother & sister-in-law’s engagement party, so threw a few of those up to!
I have to point out now…..check out my cedar post! It had been looking a little tired, grey and yuck so another of the things I have been doing is sanding that (I’m still in the process of sanding another at the front of our house). It took 2 days to sand and I think my fingers are still vibrating! It does look beautiful now though. I had been waiting to sand the post before putting some cheapie Ikea curtains (to give it a bit of a lux feeling) and having the baby shower gave me incentive to do it!
