first shower

today was my first baby shower.  the crown you see above was mine to wear and was (frankly) a little terrifying.  for several reasons.  for one, the glitter was pretty loose and if i tilted my head wrong, i got a sprinkling of sequins in my punch.  for two, well, look at that word up there.  those three little letters that represent something i’ve wanted to be for so long, but i’m not quite there yet.  and it could be three more weeks or three more years and i JUST DON”T KNOW.  But I think I managed to convince myself (at least for the duration of the party) that it will be sooner rather than later.  and i got some really wonderful gifts. (although, oddly, no books!)  here are some handmade favorites:

thanks, everyone!

Well of course they didn’t give you books. You know baby books better than any of us and probably know exactly what you want. but you would have never thought to make a cheese curd onesie 🙂 Looks like a good time. Has J been to a baby shower yet?

I held a whole pack of white onsies in my hand and didn’t buy them because I couldn’t figure out how to make them cute! Ack! No Imagination! Wish I could share in the baby shower fun but you have wonderful friends to “gift” you!
