Fun Fabric Storage Totes

I made these really cute fabric storage totes for my sister and my soon-to-be niece or nephew:) They were easy to make (and fun)! I found a great tutorial online and tweaked it a little bit - the tutorial uses different hooks to attach to a curtain rod but I tweaked it a little bit so that they could hang on separate hooks. 

I did a different variation from the tutorial I found online (I left the rod out and made different loops), but for the tutorial check out this link: http://www.u-createcrafts.com/2010/07/creative-guest-hanging-storage-baskets.html

Here are some pictures of the totes in use - my sister filled them with my niece's stuffed animals and hung them in various spots:)

A Peter Rabbit Themed Baby Shower

I recently planned a really cute Peter Rabbit themed baby shower for my sister which was so much fun to plan. With the help of my mom and aunts (and some internet inspiration) we created a lovely party in honor of my sister and soon-to-be- niece/nephew.

I created cute little favors by hand-stamping muslin bags with a wooden bunny stamp and putting a handmade soap in each one which I found on etsy.com (Elysian Organics).

                                       

We created this lovely gift area with a couple of old curtains and added some color with an assortment of paper poms that we hung from the ceiling, also found on etsy.com (Pom Love).

My Aunt Jane picked fresh veggies from her garden to create these festive centerpieces...they were a hit! And sticking with the Peter Rabbit theme, our menu was a play off of Mr. McGregor's garden patch.

I made cute little cupcake toppers to stick in the carrot cake cupcakes. 

I made this cute storybook garland with paper carrots, scraps of fabric and excerpts from miniature peter rabbit books that I found on ebay...I attached everything to a line of jute with mini clothespins. It was so fun to make!
