baby showers

Over the weekend we had a baby shower for my sister, so that everyone in the family could finally meet her baby. She didn't really want any gifts at the shower but I didn't listen and decided to give her one anyway. I made her this adorable owl!

I used this pattern to make him and I enjoyed every minute of stitching this guy up! I'm thinking that the owl might be a good extra to go with the baby blanket I made, since he was so loved at the shower. I made him using the new Bernat Waverly yarn, so he's super soft. The colors I used were brick white, gypsy gold, blue gown and breath of blue.

I also made a little decor for the shower, I got the idea from pinterest but instead of paper rain drops, I decided to add some of my crochet touch to them using this pattern. To make the clouds, I used white tissue paper. I enjoy making tissue paper poofs, they're a simple and cheap decoration that look so cute!

    So adorable! Seeing your owl makes me really excited . . . I bought that pattern a few weeks ago to make for my son, but haven't had time for it yet. Yours is so cute, I think I need to make time for it :-) Great job!

    I love it all! The white tissue decorations are so poofie and pretty, and the blue crochet extras are great on them. Adorable owl. I've been seeing those everywhere around blogland. They are really popular right now.
