Today I got to work on a couple things in preparation for the baby shower I am hosting next Saturday. :)
First of all, here are the topiary trees for the dining room table.
Then I was trying to think of some other "fun" thing for decor. I considered a diaper cake, but I also know they're quite time intensive, and I already had the topiaries. Then I came across a diaper wreath. Perfect! This will be on the front door to great the guests (and guest of honor).
I used a styrofoam wreath from Michael's and wrapped overlapping diapers around it. You tie each diaper with ribbon (I used pink polka-dot to coordinate with the shower invitations). Then I added some fun curly ribbon and an "it's a girl" balloon before adding some baby essentials to finish it off: various Johnson's baby care items like baby powder, lotions, shampoo, etc., a paci clip, 4 washcloths, some spoons, and some forks (obviously for when Baby Girl O is older).

I love how it turned out, and I love that it's a little more "novel" than the ever-popular diaper cake (as cool as those are). And I LOVE how easy it was!!
Lastly, I sewed the mother-to-be's gift of a nursing cover.

Today we also bought plates, napkins, cups, etc. So now I just need to finish the cake toppers, finalize the menu, and then I think we're set!
