I'm the modern day house wife. I have no children and no husband, but I do have a really fat cat (not her fault or mine) a wonderful, supportive PNC (partner n crime), lots of fabric, a sewing machine, paints and a computer to keep me really busy. I love to create, garden, lay in the sun (for hours), and I make lattes every morning. In the future, I'd love to have some kiddos to play with my fat cat, I'd love to live in the sunshine and I'd love to make a great living off of being creative. Not too much to ask right?!

Baby Shower

This weekend could not get here fast enough. My Mom flies into town on Friday night, and my baby shower is on Saturday in Issaquah. Is it really only two months away until we get to meet this bundle of joy? 

Talented Tarah designed the invitations. I adore them. Going to frame it for the nursery.

I'm excited to receive the recipes. Such a great idea. 

Tarah and Tiffany are throwing this shower for me. I am beyond thankful and feel very special that I have the friends I have. 

Tiffany and I met when she was pregnant with Kennedy 6 years ago. She was about to pop and I had just started dating her best friend. I pretty much took Tiffany on as my best friend too:) Its safe to say that we love each other...like sisters, and we will be friends til we are old, wrinkly, senile and sharing a room at the nut house. She has been like a sister to my husband for years and years and I really admire her loyalty to him and now myself. I'm so excited to share our journey as mom's and raise our kids together. Like in this photo, life couldn't get much better! 

Tarah and I go WAY back. We became good friends my sophomore year and her junior year. She knew I was nutty and although she hid it better, she was just as nutty as me. Fun people tend to gravitate towards each other:) We sat by each other in art class and drew and painted effortlessly while everyone else's work sucked to put it nicely! We boozed it up pool side at her house while her mom Connie made endless amounts of margarita's in their tiki bar. We really lived it up in our twenties while I was drugged up most of the time on pain killers and prednisone, but, Tarah always hung in there with me. Crazy and emotional me, Tarah was always there. Looking at her now I am so proud of her. She's turned her talent into an amazing career, married a handsome man and had a bouncy (drooly) baby boy. I'm so thankful we've stuck together all of these years. 

These are little thank you gifts. BTW, if you need to find a way to use fabric scraps, these fabric garlands were really easy to make. 

I hope to share photos of the shower when I return next week.

This is so sweet, Nat! You're such a sentimental softie! Thank you so much for the gift today! The shower was a great time and I'm happy that you got an entire truckload of baby stuff to take home. Hopefully Casey isn't freaking out too much. :-)
