Just a warning: you might've noticed a bit of "dust" on my blog. I'm yet again changing things up here... I know, I change it way too often. But it's like changing an outfit: I'm just never satisfied :) Bare with me for a few days. I promise, it will not last long. In the meantime, I wanted to share with you something I made for a friend a couple of weeks ago.
I have a real cute, very pregnant friend. About two weeks ago two of my other friends threw a baby shower for her. It was an awesome day, and the future Mom looked absolutely adorable.
These two friends mentioned above asked me a few weeks prior to make a diaper cake for this special occasion. Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while, know that I used to have a small business making diaper cakes. If you are fairly new here, you can see a couple of my previous "creations" here and here.
And that's the cake I made for her:
She really wanted an elephant as part of her shower theme, and she also chose a banner the colors of which I was trying to incorporate in the cake:
I have to tell you - I really, really, really miss making them. Honestly, I miss being a crafty, DIY girl. Lately my life is a constant cycle of working-cleaning-cooking-and then I start all over again :( I have SO many projects in my head that I have all or almost all of the supplies for. I just need time...Aaaa!! I want some of those caffeine patches from "Meet the Robinsons" so I can go without sleep for a while :)
How was your day??

It's so cute! I love it! I never had a baby shower since ironically with every single one of my pregnancies I was away from home which meant, no family or friends...I guess that is something I missed in life..but I enjoy seeing all the decorations and excitement around such a beautiful time! and believe me I understand what is not being too crafty lately...the good thing is that when inspiration (and time comes) it brings good things with it! Look what a beautiful cake you created!!!! Thanks for sharing Lena! Hugs, Lizy...
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you, Lizy :) I really like baby showers and all the hustle and bustle of it. We don't have baby showers in Russia.
DeleteWe all go through different cycles in our lives and your in one of the harder ones right now. But it won't last. Soon you'll have more time to work on your projects. In the meantime, be sure to carve a little time for yourself.
ReplyDeleteOops! Meant to say "you're" instead of "your"
DeleteThank you for your support! I sure hope, this stage will be over soon!
Deletelove it, love it, love it. What great colours.
ReplyDeleteI think dd best friend is making mini diaper cakes as table centerpieces for dd baby shower, but don't mention anything on my blog, as dd reads it.

Aww, I want to see the pictures! Mini ones sound so fun!
DeleteGreat "cake!"
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteBahaha @ Caffeine patches from Meet the Robinsons. I LOVE that movie. It is amongst my top 5! Also, that diaper cake is adorable! I am finding myself needing to make one by Aug 15th (eek, deadlines!) for a co-worker who is expecting in September. My manager kind of hinted me she wanted me to do that carriage-type diaper cake. I've been all over the internet looking for those. It is a shame your time constrains don't allow you to take up on that craft again. You are really good at it.
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived closer. I would totally make you one :)
DeleteGood job there! There is never enough time is there? Xx
ReplyDeleteNope, there isn't :)
DeleteThat is so cute! I haven't seen a diaper cake that tricked out.
ReplyDelete:) Thank you :)
DeleteSo cute!! :) I feel the same way Lena, just trying to keep my head above water lately!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you will have even more stuff going on starting tomorrow :)
DeleteWow that cake is awesome. I know the felling of not enough hours in the day.

Summer hits me like that every year. I am busy all day and I have no idea what I did all day. And if you figure out the caffeine patches, send a few my way, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful diaper cake, by the way! Just adorable!
It's an awesome cake! I always think these are the best thing to give for a baby shower gift. Every mama/new baby needs diapers!
