a girly gift {& one for myself!}

Last week I had the privilege of going to Audrey's baby shower.
And I say privilege because I never laugh as hard as I do
when I'm around Jami and her sister.

Not to mention, their parties are always insanely cute.
You can check out the back-to-school themed shower
and lunch lady hostess here. :)

I wanted to do a special gift for Audrey
{okay, I always want to do something special for my gifts :)}
since she's so creative and artistic.
I've been mulling over the idea of a hot air balloon set for awhile
but was worried it wouldn't have the
vintage yet whimsical look I envisioned.
I ordered new fabrics {for a different set actually}
and when I saw them I knew I had my color scheme.
Once that was established I went for it. :)
And was really happy with how it turned out!

It kind of reminds me of a vintage fair...
Maybe I need to make a coordinating ferris wheel onesie. :)

Here's my belly update since I didn't give it to you on Tuesday...

I was serious about clipping those flower clusters on my belt. ;)
I've decided these are my new favorite accessory
since my maternity wardrobe is so blah. :)
