Origami: I made an Origami mobile and now I totally get why babies are so mesmerized by those things.

Seriously. They’re hypnotizing! I laid down on the floor underneath the one I’d made in order to snap a few photos, and I think I ended up being stuck down there for an hour.

Here’s what happened: Some good friends of mine (who happen to have a great foodie blog of their own, by the way) are expecting a new addition to their family in a few weeks, so the hubby and I decided to throw them a baby shower.

Well, more accurately, I decided to throw them a baby shower and the hubby suddenly found a lot of new items on his to-do list.

Sneak Peek – Handmade Baby Shower

Just a quick glimpse of the fun in store for this weekend’s baby shower! I can’t post details about the planning here until after the event (the mama is one of my readers), but I couldn’t resist putting up a few teasers. Rest assured – after Friday evening, I’ll be posting all sorts of recipes, photos, and tutorials for what I sincerely hope is going to be a truly spectacular handmade baby shower!
