I've Never Considered Myself a Crafty Person...But this was Fun to Make!!
I have seen diaper cakes like this before and remember thinking, "Man that is cute, but way too time consuming." Well, let's just say I got a little bored. I enjoy doing crafts (simple ones), I just don't have vision when it comes to CREATING something on my own. That is why I love the Google search engine (for instructions on how to make a diaper cake like this click here.)
I am attending baby shower tomorrow for a friend and hope she likes the end result!

A little hobby of mine is to crochet beeds onto baby socks. I threw a couple pairs on the cake to finish it off!

The finished product!!

Oh my heck! She is going to LOVE it! It is so dang cute! What do you mean you aren't crafty? I would never have though to doll up a pair of sock like that... I LOVE IT! I think I'm going to give it a try with Bostons since shoes don't seem to stay on her fat little feet all to well!! :)
