Amelia Mae Turns ONE

My niece officially turned one on Tuesday, and we have all been getting ready for the big party tomorrow.  Family is coming into town, my sister is busy working on decor and food, and I of course got inspired to make another creation.   Enter, Celebration Hats.  I, seriously, decided on my way home from work one day this week, that I MUST make a hat.  Something I hadn't quite done yet, but how hard could it really be??  Right??  No Problem!!  And surprisingly enough, it was pretty easy to accomplish.  The hat isn't quite finished, but I am pretty sure this is a great start.  Plus I ended up posting the preview on the facebook page and got so many responses, I am thinking this might need to be a perminent thing added to the shop.

Amelia Mae Arrives

So the little monkey actually made her appearance Monday, June 7, 2010.  Sunday night Alicia and Rob headed to the hospital to be induced, with myself, mom, and Ari not far behind them.  We hung out for a while...anxiously watching the monitors.  We left late that night to allow Lisha to get some sleep.  The next morning her water broke and labor began.  I had to work all day, but headed out there immediately afterwards.  I finally got to see the little monkey...I have posted some of the text messaged pictures my mom and sister sent to me while I was working that day.  The black and white photo was one I took when I first saw her.

Its Been A While

Alright, so I have been super busy.  Here I sit realizing I have SOOO much to catch everyone up on.  So I began by loading the 83472938592387 pictures that are still on my camera, onto my computer, (which seemed to take FOREVER).  Then, I thought I should start my postings with my sisters baby shower.  We held her shower on May 8th, 2010.  Little Amelia Mae was supposed to make her appearance on June 5th, 2010, so this gave us one month cushion for her shower.  There was so much to prepare for...first I had to make her invites.  I kept them pretty simple, but embellished each one with hand sewn fabric yo-yos in the same fabrics being used in Amelia's room.  Then came the 45 favors I decided to make....my handmade fabric flowers with a clip and pin option.  Each clip was clipped on to a large popcicle stick, and a tag was added...

The day before the shower I had probably 30-50 mini tissue paper pom-pom balls to make, cupcakes to bake, games to prepare for, and last minute food to shop for...All in all...the shower turned out to be great!! And our oldest sister, Mandie, was able to fly in for this one, so all of us girls were together FINALLY!!!
