Faux Chenille Baby Blanket

So I recently shared with you guys the Charlotte's Web themed baby shower. Well, this is the gift I gave to sweet little Charlotte's mommy at the shower. It is a faux chenille baby blanket with, of course, chevron fabric. 

It is a top layer of cotton, with 3 layers of flannel underneath sewn diagonally every .5 inch all the way across the blanket. Then with either a chenille cutter (highly recommended) or scissors you cut through the bottom three layers of flannel in between your stitch lines. After you are done with your cutting, run the blanket through a quick wash and dry cycle to give the flannel a sweet little wave underneath. And finally, sew on your blanket binding around the edges. I followed the tutorial from Aesthetic Nest found here, but made little changes to make it my own.

It was an easy, albeit time consuming, process. But I just love the way it turned out. What do you guys think?

Charlotte's Web Baby Shower

A special little cousin of mine is about to have a special little baby girl. So, of course, we had to throw her a special little baby shower. A Charlotte's Web themed baby shower! We had so much fun creating this and putting it together. I just can't even tell you. 

Below are the sweet invitations we sent out. I edited out all of our contact information for obvious reasons, but I just love them! 

And then the cake. Just a little strawberry cake from Gabriel's and I threw on some wildflowers, but I loved the end result. Especially the little hen nested nearby. Isn't she great?

We added in some farm animals here and there along with burlap covered books.

And we had to have a Charlotte! I made her with a styrofoam ball, black paint, pipe cleaners and googly eyes and hung her over the buffet table.

Perhaps my favorite detail, was the chalkboard turned spider web. Instead of "Some Pig" as Charlotte says it in the book, we will have us "Some Baby" when our little Charlotte gets here!
