Showers!!!

February 8, 2009 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

This weekend was full of food, presents, and “ooooing” & “aawwwing”! Saturday I went to a baby shower for my friend Beth (we met freshman year in college) and here she is opening the outfit I made for her soon-to-be-born little girl Christiana. She is a pretty adorable prego lady!


Here is Bonnie with her baby Ethan and Joshua, my friend Tanya’s son, taking a break from all the baby shower festivities!


This afternoon I went to a lovely bridal shower for my friend Leah. We’ve been friends since high school but we were also in the same 5th grade class together. Here she is holding up the new and improved apron that I made for her after the first one had a little accident (see previous post)!! I think she’ll look absolutely adorable wearing this while she does some baking for her new hubby! Well, for that matter, I’m sure Paul will look great in it too when he cooks for Leah!

Katie came and brought her baby Drew. Have I mentioned that I am in LOVE with this baby? He is so adorable! Please take note of the cute sweater he is wearing…yup, I made this! I started it last December when Katie announced she was pregnant and had it finished in June, just in time for her shower. She didn’t know what the sex of the baby was in advance so I tried to pick something that was gender neutral but not the same old yellow or green. I think Drew looks GREAT in it too! Don’t we make a cute couple?

Katie, Drew, Leah, K-A and Angela enjoying the shower!

Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry tre Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry trees in our backyard…watching them bloom has been nothing short of magical. And the scent of the blossoms!! Absolutely divine! 

Buying an older home vs building new can have its perks- one being an established yard (which I just fell in love with). We’ve got neighbors all around, however, the backyard feels pretty private thanks to landscaping done years ago by the previous owners!

I often see many great finds on Marketplace but because I don’t have a truck or trailer, I have to miss out on a lot. I knew this desk would fit in the back of my SUV so I jumped at the chance to grab it. What’s your favorite secondhand find?

Kitchen Progress Update…lots has been done but als Kitchen Progress Update…lots has been done but also still lots to do! I’m not in a hurry with this renovation…working full time and having a kid who needs lots of attention really limits what can be accomplished (and budget)!! But, I’ve got lots of ideas and plans and will chip away at things slowly. My main goal was to get the flooring and counters done before moving in and the rest can happen…whenever! 🤣😊
I’m slowly but surely adding accessories to C’s ro I’m slowly but surely adding accessories to C’s room! The light fixture uses a rechargeable lightbulb, no hardwiring needed, which makes it super easy to install. The paint color on her walls is @sherwinwilliams Malted Milk (a pretty, muted shade of pink). 

I found the wood artwork at a craft fair and as soon as I read what it said, I just knew it was perfect for her room- she has already proven she can do AMAZING things!! 💗🥰

The bed is a Facebook marketplace find and her bedding is from a variety of places (I’ve linked can I can on my @shop.ltk page so follow me there at CraftyTeacherLady
