Lavender Baby!
I'm helping out with a baby shower for a little girl a week from Saturday. Yay! A little girl this time!
I asked the mom-to-be, Claire, what theme she would like, encouraging her that she could make a theme out of just about anything! She picked lavender and elephants.
Hm.
Didn't see that one coming.
Don't get me wrong, that will be super-cute! I just knew that I didn't have much in my craft room that was any shade of purple. (It's my least favorite color-shhh! Don't tell her!) So I hunted through my insanely full-of-stuff craft room and these are the only things I found:
As you may imagine, the "elephant" search in the craft room was even less successful. ;o)
So that's what I have to make a baby shower out of! Piece of cake!
Good thing I have a partner in crime this time. :O)
How are you doing, today? Are you doing okay? I sure hope so.
I'll talk to you soon! Paige will be around soon with her latest tutorial. (I should have a talk with her about deadlines. haha)
Love you!

I'm sure you'll come up with something great!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you come up with. <3
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll share what you think up for the lavender elephants! ;-)
ReplyDeleteKnowing you, you will come up with something awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be quite a challenge.....but you are so creative...you'll think of something great!
ReplyDeleteDisney, you will rise to the challenge! It coulda been worse...puce and mushroom clouds? Bright orange and t-bone steaks? Looking forward to your elephant inventions! And Paige's new craft, your little munchkin has something great up her sleeve, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Those would be some pretty awesome shower themes. I'll have to keep them in mind for the next one!
DeleteI know you are a reader of Mollie. The latest issue we have in the states has cute elephant brooches. I know the website has the templates!
ReplyDeleteI see the pompons hanging from a thread, from the ceiling, or something like that... maybe on some wire, making a nice decoration inside a vase as if they were "flowers"??
ReplyDeleteThat is too funy! I did a lavender rhino baby shower a couple of years back! Lavender because I am obsessed with it, and rhino because of the mommy to be.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm so glad to hear we share a least favorite color! I just posted yet another post about my dislike of purple. I'm sure you will knock this out of the ballpark as usual though! I laughed about the lack of purple supplies - I have a spool of purple thread that came in a set, but that's it.
ReplyDeletesoft and romantic them .. i love it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! It's always a bit of a fun challenge when you don't have exactly what you need though, isn't it? And you can always add a little white as a "filler color" that will only enhance the purples. Can't wait to see the final result!
ReplyDeleteand an idea you can go with hortensia flower also cause it looks so fluffy and soft..and its their time in Turkey and italy. ( mediterrean thing )
ReplyDeletei use the photo of this flower as my blogger profile pic. so anyway just an idea.. :) have fun !
I just want to tell you that I think you are so so sweet! :) cyber {{hug}} to you today. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. love the lavender!
p.p.s i love to see what thrifting finds you've had lately!
I threw my elephant-loving daughter a "pink elephants on parade party" for her birthday...you could probably flip it to purple. ;) http://skirtastop.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/pink-elephants-on-parade-party/
ReplyDeletetoo cute! I loved the felt elephants!

ReplyDeleteSo exciting and can't wait to see pictures of the Lavender Elephant Party. Paige takes after her mama and she will inspire the rest of us to get working on our projects.
ReplyDeleteDisney, the nightie is so cute! And, I love to 'improv sew', so I'd love to win the book! Thanks for a chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteHaha. My favorite is purple, and I love that she chose that color and elephants. I think elephants should be this years 'owl.' I can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI know whatever you come up with will be fabulous! Looking forward to Paige's next tut (^_^)
ReplyDeleteHi Disney. I am new here and just read a few of your other posts. I just want to say that I think you are so funny and sweet and genuine. I was having a rough day and you and your blog made it better. Thank you so much. I'll be back.
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled that I've helped make your day better. That's just what I'm hoping for! Hope tomorrow's even better. :o)
DeleteI love the chiffon/tulle/sheer fabric you have! Don't know why, but I've always had a thing for sheer fabric and ribbons. I can't wait to see what you come up with. The lavender and elephants remind of Winnie the Pooh and Heffalumps. :)
ReplyDeleteThese colors and decoration is perfect for girl baby shower.Pooh Baby Shower
