Baby shower…literally
We had a surprise baby shower for my sister R on Saturday.
I crocheted hearts for baby bunting and sewd ribbon on the backs to hang it up. I got a little carried away and made 20!
Hopefully R will be able to use it in the babys room.
I liked the way it turned out.
I will be doing some for Etsy so watch this space.
The shower was a complete surprise for R, she had texted our Mum the night before saying that she doesnt feel that nesting instinct yet but thinks it may have passed on to her husband as he was cleaning like a mad thing. Only a couple of hours beforehand I had bumped into her in Tesco’s, our local supermarket, and she didnt seem to think it strange that I was standing here with 20 hotdogs in my hand!I know my hubbie likes them but 20 of them….
the morning of the shower, they had gone carpet shopping and my BIL was texting us to see if people had arrived etc, we told him to stall her as some of them hadnt turned up yet, then to drive slower…and she was going mad at the slowness of his driving..little did she know!
We had a great day. The BBQ we had planned for after the baby shower with the lads invited this time, turned into an indoor one, but that was fine.
Meanwhile, around us it rained, and our village was flooded, we had no idea it was so bad until the next day when we saw reports of the flooding on the news, and saw a woman canoeing down the street in the very next neighbourhood to ours….

The bunting looks gorgeous. You did a great job on the party room.
The woman was rowing her boat through the estate I live in. The water didn’t make it as far as us - thank God! It was an anxious few hours watching the water rise.

That’s a lovely thoughtful surprise to make. I’m sure your sister will gladly use those lovely hearts in the baby’s room. Alas, no barbecue weather for us much this year.
