Dr. Seuss Baby Shower

It was so fun to do these favors for a Dr. Seuss-themed baby shower!  I made some more Cat in the Hat hats, and also some onesies too coordinate with the cute striped invitations (pic below).  I love coordinating with invitations, decorations or colors.  How did I do?

 

 

 

I packaged them together with a coordinating ribbon and tag!

Math-themed Baby Shower

I loved doing these onesies and baby blocks for a baby shower for a local math teacher.  Not pictured, but equally as cute, are the blocks with math symbols... :)

Wordless Wednesday

Baby Shower

Rounding out a busy week of cookies was this set of onesies, ducks, and baby bottles for a baby shower.

I loved the hostess' choice of gray and yellow for the onesies (I did them like these onesies):

Happy Shower!

Another New Baby

So happy to welcome another new baby this week!  A few boy-themed onesies for the occasion:

His mom is a good college friend and one of Cookie District's biggest fans.  :)  So happy for the whole family.

Make Way For Ducklings

Make Way For Ducklings (by Robert McCloskey) was one of my all-time favorites growing up, so I was looking forward to working on cookies for a baby shower with that theme.  

As I was looking around for some mama and baby duckling inspiration, I found the gorgeous cookies (and pictures!) done by Michele of i-heart-baking.  Take a look at her lovely work here.  She was so nice to let me post these pictures of cookies using her design.

A Pair Of Baby Showers

A friend from work had baby showers on back-to-back weekends, and asked me about doing cookies for each.  

First up, a baby boy.  Loved the hosts' ideas of embellishment on the onesies -- baseballs, footballs, wagons, and sailboats.  Simple and cute, my favorite kind of cookies to do:

Next, favors for a girly baby shower.  I used the same design as these cookies: 

The girly shower was out of town, so I packaged them as favors and packed them in bubble wrap for the plane ride.  

Welcome, new little ones.  :)

Girly Baby Shower Favors

Had fun last night celebrating a good friend who is expecting her second baby in about a month.  She's expecting a girl, and I did some quick favors for a baby shower dinner.

We can't wait to meet sweet baby Caroline!  :)

This Week In Cookies

I had a few fun projects to work on this week, after all of the excitement of the cookie swap.

First up were some favors for a baby shower a friend was throwing to welcome a baby girl.  I went with polka dots and roses in pink and teal:

 

Next up, a large order for a set of new baby twins.  I loved the simple design and bright colors their grandmother requested:

 

After a break today and tomorrow, I'm thinking I can squeeze one more holiday batch of cookies in this week...  Happy weekend everyone!

 

Wine & Cheese

It's the calm before the (worst part of the) storm here in D.C., and I thought I'd share a few pictures of some fun wine and cheese cookies I did for a friend's party this weekend while I still have power!

It was a party for a new mom's group, so my friend came up with the idea of babybel cheese rounds.

I also did packaged favors for everyone to take home:

 

 

More Babies!

So happy to meet another sweet baby girl last night, and to welcome her (parents) with a batch of pretty-colored onesie cookies:

I also sent along a few minis -- elephants and baby bottles:

 

Baby Shower

In addition to the other assortment of cookies I baked this past week, I also did a set of onesie cookies for a baby shower a friend was throwing -- pink and gray to match the invites.

 

I love doing cookies as favors...I could browse the scrapbook paper aisle for hours picking out the perfect backing, then packaging and sealing them all. 

This Week In Cookies 10/14/2012

Update -- the birthday girl's mom sent me a picture of the cookies displayed on the cute fall table -- love the setup!

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last weekend I set out for a marathon baking session with a double batch of cookies, all divided up for different fun events this week.

I made another round of leaves, pumpkins, and acorns -- along will some cute purple 1s...feminine but not too girly -- for a coworker's daughter's fall-themed first birthday party today:

 

And because I can't help myself, a (repeat) picture of some leaves.  I love the mini fall cookies!

 

I did a couple of variations of "J" cookies -- some for a new big brother, and some as a practice for a friend's son's upcoming birthday:

I also had fun with these onesie cookies for a sweet new baby that I was excited to meet this week!  Even better yet, his parents still like me even though I brought his big brother his own set of cookies that he gobbled up before dinner.  :)
