Sansa has been learning to cook, and though she had recruited Jeyne's help the only thing she was managed to pick up so far was cakes, and sweets and baby food. Which came in handy for the kind of party she was holding. She had only really thought of having it at the last minute after reading about baby showers in something the bookshelf had given her but it seemed like a lovely idea. A party just for mother's to be to celebrate the upcoming birth. Though she had not quite worked out why it was called a shower. Perhaps because Susan was to be showered with gifts.
Sansa had planned a gift anyway of course but it was nice to have a occasion to present her with it. She's woven a basket and sewn in padding - she had made one herself from transporting Eddara about the island - and then filled it with baby clothes. Some she had sewn and other she had coaxed from the clothes box. She had been going to make a blanket but someone else had planned to she knew.
She'd decorated the rec room as best she could - which meant devising decorations and persuading Caspian to move the tables and then hang the streamers. Then he'd been dismissed with a kiss because it was a women only event. When he left Eddara tried to crawl after him and had to be scooped up and fetched back. Knowing Lucy was fetching Susan even now Sansa checked over the trays of sweets (the baby food was for some sort of game were you had to guess the flavour which possibly might not be so difficult given island baby food was mainly stewed or mashed fruit.) She didn't really see why putting diapers on a coconut was a good game anyway but having read about it she felt it had to be included.
