About a month ago, one of my nieces approached me about creating centerpieces for her sister-in-law's baby shower. She is having twins!
Since I created the centerpieces for my daughter's wedding, this was something I enjoy doing, and could definitely have fun with. I have also been creating centerpieces for my high school's "Senior Breakfast" every year for the past 20 years. It's alway a challenge coming up with new theme ideas each year with the freshman class student council who hosts the event.
I got busy sketching on my tablet computer and came up with some fun ideas for the baby shower centerpieces, which I then sent to my niece for approval. Although she liked all the ideas, she especially liked the one I did using a topiary form. I filed away the other sketches because my daughter's friends, after a year or two of marriage are starting families one by one, so I'm sure I may again be called upon to create a few, if not for her friends, then one day for my future grandchild's shower!
I had to make eight centerpieces and after many hours of making each flower with tiny pearl bead centers and gluing them to the topiary ball, wrapping ribbons around the dowel, painting the pots and adding Spanish moss, I was finally finished.
It was time consuming, but fun, and the resulting centerpieces, I must admit, came out very well.
