Nell goes to a BABY SHOWER

Hi.

Where have I been???

Mostly: crazy. 🙂 Count-down to Spain: 8 days. Woot.

Anyway, I had a baby shower last weekend.

Now, baby showers are finicky business. I like to bring useful, cute things…but it’s hard to know what to bring. Here’s what I did for this one: hats, baby hats. That and I bought the book “Caps for Sale.” The couple having the baby is creative, artistic, and clever…so I thought it would be right up their alley.

Start: material. I went to a legit material store, but all of the materials were in grown-up shades. So! Next-best thing--shirts. :) I picked out the softest in the shades I liked best. And that brown fur on the bottom is a fuzzy throw. — Start: material. I went to a legit material store, but all of the materials were in grown-up shades. So!

First hat! Pilot-hat-like. Since the gender isn't announced, I went with gender-friendly stars. <3 — First hat! Pilot-hat-like. Since the gender isn’t announced, I went with gender-friendly stars. <3

Favorite part of the green one: this monogramed bit on the back. The parents aren’t announcing the name, either (but they did joke it would be named “Catfish” if a boy and “Katfishe” if a girl…just for laughs). So, the child has been called “Boo Baby” for this period of time.
