AHOY MATES - TWIN'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY

Ships Ahoy for Owen and Hudson's 2nd Birthday Party

 

As usual, I had fun finding everything to fill the gift buckets. I monogrammed the towels with all the kids' names and put their initial on their chairs. The chairs were all outside waiting for them with their filled water bottles and sailor hats.

The bibs for the boys

The backyard is all set for the chaos with the kids' chairs and bouncy balls

In lieu of balloons we used lanterns

The one thing I was not thrilled with is how the cakes turned out.

The writing bled the second I put it on the cake.

Guess there were mixed reviews from the birthday boys.

But I was happy with the cake pops

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME

 

These are the gifts I made for my sister-in-law's baby shower. She was having a little boy. Her husband is a college baseball coach, so I thought he'd enjoy these goodies too.

I made a blanket with what they call soft-n-cuddly (I think) and flannel. I appliqued a baseball on the blue side. I made two burpees with the fabrics of the blanket. I also made a little matching bib.

I also couldn't resist making this little appliqued long-sleeve onsie (below).  My sister has made some adorable applique shirts with felt for my boys and I just love the look of it.

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT

After my nephew was born I made his birth announcements. 
Carrying onwith the baseball theme and Nolan's dad's love 
of the Yankees, here's what I made. I took the idea from an 
actual Yankees baseball card. I bet there are a few people 
who hope he gets an official major league card  one day.
