Tiny Totes

For the little girl who has everything... I find myself struggling to come up with sweet, thoughtful gifts for our nieces and nephews. They just have so many toys already! So my solution for a couple of our nieces this year came by way of these personalized tiny tote bags. Aren't they sweet? Super simple and customizable in every way!

Boho Chic Pink Ombre Invitation

Perfect for a girl's birthday party, baby shower or even wedding shower. This boho chic/tribal invite is my fave creation of late. It makes me want to run through fields of wildflowers wearing a flowy, white dress or paint a messy masterpiece on a 10-foot canvas. Seriously y'all, I am so ready for spring.

Find it in my shop here!

Big Guy Onesies

Is it just me or is everyone and their mama expectin' a baby these days? If you find yourself getting bored with the same 'ol shower gifts, try a playful onesie! I'm obsessed with these big guy onesies. The tie is always a classic, but the open tuxedo bow tie says, "I'm formal, but I'm also here to party."

From moustaches to hearts, there are tons more designs where these came from! For one of these bad boys or if you have a specific idea, message me here or through my Etsy Shop to get started on a custom onesie.

Vintage-y Mermaid Invitation

Enough with this snowless cold, bring on the spring. I'm so ready for warm colors, and flowers, and sweet little parties in the sunshine! And mermaids. Definitely mermaids. Start your spring party planning engines and get on board with this vintage style mermaid invitation. Totally customizable. Just holler. 

Also, totally #tbt. It doesn't get more throwback than vintage mermaids.

Find it in the Sail South Etsy shop here.

Frenchies Forever

Frenchie lovers unite! Those of you who know me, know I am governed by a 23-pound French Bulldog we call Tack. And below is evidence. My latest party invitation design is inspired by my little furry love.

This little invite can be adapted for a baby shower and totally customized for your next event. Find it in my Etsy shop etsy.com/shop/sailsouthhome and let's chat!

Garden Inspiration

During this summer season, I am simply smitten with all things green and growing outside, and constantly drawing inspiration from my garden. Right now, I am crushing hard on one of my current projects: A late-summer garden party. My creative process begins with an idea, a brainstorming session or 10 and a collection of images that inspire me. Beyond that, the next step is always the invitation. I always generate so much of my party concept through creating the invitation design. And this one I am straight up feeling in a big way. It all began with a few clippings from my garden, photographed below.

After an afternoon date with Photoshop, this is the base for the invitation. Fun right? I can't wait to share the final product with you guys!

Baby Shower Gifts

Today's post is all about love for the little ones! This faux chenille blanket and monogram pillow recently left the workroom for a dear friend's baby shower.  The light pink and grey color palette was chosen to coordinate with her sweet nursery! I was tickled with how they turned out. :) 

The faux chenille is such a sweet look for a nursery and oh my, is it soft! I love making these for shower gifts. They are pretty straight forward to make, but certainly time consuming. I totally think the result is worth the work though. How about you guys?

Happy Tuesday!

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!
