A Handmade Challenge

Okay. I'm going to play a little game. I'm going to see if I can find a handmade outfit, from head to toe including accessories. Money is no object. And it all has to be stuff I would actually wear. So let's start with the shoes.

This is probably going to be the most challenging because you can find lots of vintage shoes on etsy, but not so many handmade ones. Ahh, here we go. Some sexy red platform pumps by zerkahloostrah for $365.00



Next up either pants or a skirt. Let's see what I can find....








Okay I like the shape of these made to measure jeans by trapperjane, $95







Now I need something for my top.....

I like this simple black top with just a little bit of ruffle on the sleeves. By CrowsCloth for $45




Now I need something to match those shoes....

This awesome "scarflette" will look great with my outfit. irregularexpressions, $56




Now let's bring on the jewelry!





Red Hot Candy Resin Bracelet by AardvArt, $15.99
Vampire Earrings from WaveCloud, $11.50

Aloha Cameo Ring katinkapinka, $21


And I said head to toe so I guess I better find something for my head....


Yeah I couldn't resist.... Beret by craftyoma for $17.50

So there you go, head to toe, all handmade!

Autumn is in the Air

The end of summer always makes me sad. With the exception of mosquitoes, I love summer. I love swimming, the beach, not wearing shoes, tank tops, long days, warm nights...
Today is overcast and feels cool outside. Fall is coming. But I'm trying to look forward to that too. I like the clothing better for myself for fall and winter, usually. And this year will be Ellery's first Halloween which should be fun. I'm making her costume. She's going to be Snow White. I've already got the tutu part made, I just need to work on the top. I think I'm also going to be making more overalls, and also some fall/holiday gear. It would be nice if I could just freeze time, but not myself and then I could have lots of time to create things.


In the spirit of fall check out my newest item. It was made for the TeamSC Fall Challenge.

You can find them in my store. I do special requests as well. So here's to fall. And hopefully the end of mosquitoes (for the year).

Rock N Roll McBaby's TeamSC Etsy Picks

Rock N Roll McBaby has been shopping on Etsy again. She has picked out these great items from members of the SC Etsy Street Team, making Mama proud.




"Hey this looks like the kind of shirts that I wear!" Sweet Scrabble Tile Pendant by Vandivalicious.

"A Tooth Fairy Box? But I just got some teeth, I'm not putting them in a box!!!" Not yet, Rock N Roll McBAby, but this is sure a cute idea for when you're older or to save a lock of your hair from your first haircut. Tooth Fairy Box is by bittybooks.







"Hey Mom, just three more months until my birthday! Better get a nice invitation like this so all of my friends can come!" These custom photo invitations are really cute by Pink Ink Creations!




"Oooh, you can make those things you wipe my butt with prettier!" I like this colors on this Wet Wipes Case Cover by brownbagboutique!


"Pretty!!! This looks like a perfect outfit for a photo session, Mom!" I couldn't agree more. I can't resist the cuteness of this Pink Watermelon Outfit by Dottie Stripe Layne.

Keep on Smiling, little baby.
