Over the Top

I'm so excited-my cast was removed last week ! Now I feel that I have to move twice as fast to make up for lost time. I missed being away from blogging, but typing was just too laborious & time consuming.

Here is a photo of some decorations I made recently for a friend's baby shower. The hostess wanted black, white, and pink for the colors. The topiary was made with tissue paper flowers pinned into a styrofoam ball and the clay pot was spray-painted black. The 3-tiered boxes were covered with coordinating papers. Normally I can effortlessly whip out a gorgeous bow, but with an arm in a cast, I felt totally clutzy and like a beginner again. It was a good lesson in humility.
