Cakes, Cakes, Cakes...and more cakes...

Another hobby that fascinates me is cake decorating.  You just can't go wrong when it's crafty -- and edible!!!! 

Below are a few pics of cakes I've made over the past few years...I'm self-taught and far, far, far from perfect, but I try...and, to me, that's what counts. 
























Star Wars Themed Baby Shower

In 2015, my daughter-in-law, Laurel, was also pregnant...and she is a huge Star Wars fan.  I have never watched or followed anything Star Wars related...lol.  So, I had to be a quick learn to help Laurel have a fun and fabulous baby shower.

First, Laurel wanted a costume...so I had to get my sewing machine out and go to work in making her a tunic and all the pieces to go with her costume.

May The Force Be With You...


I had to make my grandson, Luke Sampson, a Star Wars themed crochet blanket...
 ...and a super cute wreath that will hang in his nursery...
 
...and what's a baby shower without R2D2...
...or a little Yoda (aka. Gabriel)...lol

The wreath for the front door was super cute...
Here is a pic of my two sons and daughters-in-law...

And, of course, there had to be fun moments...











....and decorations...

















I have a lot more pics but the above pics were the ones I had readily available.  Even with a VERY limited knowledge of Star Wars I was still able to make table decor, balloon creations, a diaper cake and an all-around, well-themed party decor items.  So, I hope this post will encourage you not to limit your thinking or abilities.  With a little gumption, you can create a fun-themed baby shower for the special lady in your life....Laurel thoroughly enjoyed herself...and making mommy-to-be happy is what it's all about.  Blessings....
