Molly's Baby Shower

Finally, a post on Molly's baby shower I had last month. She's having a unisex baby (what I call when you don't find out the sex-), so I had a somewhat neutral color scheme in aqua, green and orange. I also tried to incorporate a circle, or polka dot aspect. It all started with the invites. (Timm erased all the personal info on the invite so I could safely blog it, but the text continued to wrap around the circle.)

Decorations included, as usual, poms. I reused Bella's birthday banner from last year (which now permanently resides in her room-) and just added some foam stickers to spell 'Congratulations'.

Since it was late afternoon we just had a dessert buffet. I made Frozen Cheesecake and a Triple Lemon Layer Cake, while Linda contributed Coconut Cupcakes with Lime Buttercream Frosting. We also had a really good punch at Michelle's suggestion: Sprite Zero with Crystal Light and cucumbers. So refreshing!

I used Miranda's great idea of making some iron-on applique oneises at the shower as well.

I tend to get caught up with the party and forget to take pictures of the guests, so sadly this is the best I got.

Kim and Faith.

Linda, working on her adorable bird onesie.

Karilee.

Molly, appreciating the diaper cake that Karilee brought for her. (Could we please come up with a better name for those things? They're very cool in concept, but the name does not paint a pretty picture. I mean really, who would want a cake make out of diapers?)

We only got 5 onesies made at the shower, so I finished them and then took these pictures, at Miranda's request. She has a great tutorial for this super easy project, and I highly recommend it. (Both the tutorial and the project itself.)

This is just a sampling of some favorites- there were 15 in all.
I thought the shower was a success. Good food (all dessert), good friends, an absence of horrid games, and a cute craft to boot!
And Molly still hasn't had her baby, almost a week past her due date. Here's hoping it's soon and we can meet this new unisex baby, who I dreamed was a boy.
