Reversible Thanksgiving/Christmas Set

Here is my newest item, a totally reversible dress for Thanksgiving AND Christmas. One side is a brown corduroy fabric with a cute turkey appliqued.

This dress looks really cute on and will be perfect for Thanksgiving dinner with family!

Turn it inside-out and you've got an adorable Christmas dress featuring red cardinals, birdhouses and mistletoe. It is shown above with optional initials monogrammed on the reverse side. FREE MONOGRAMMING IS INCLUDED WITH EVERY PURCHASE!

This dress also comes with 3 hand sewn bows. The two shoulder bows are red and are attached to alligator clips for safety (I don't like the idea of putting any type of safety pin on clothes for toddlers and babies) and also as an added bonus they can be used as hair bows. It also comes with a brown and red hair bow that is attached to an alligator clip and also has a no-slip foam grip that helps the bow stay in place even if your child doesn't have a lot of hair on top. The bows are coordinated so that they can be used with either side of the dress.

For one low price, you can have TWO dresses in ONE for double the wear! Check out my etsy store ROCKNROLLMCMAMA DESIGNS!

Cutie Cute A-Line Jumper Dresses

Lately I've been making a lot of this A-Line Style Jumper Dress. I made this Jack-O-Lantern one for my kiddo, but didn't complete it in time to put it in my store. I appliqued a jack-o-lantern on the front and then appliqued BOO on the back.

And here is my newest item in my store. It is a Reindeer dress. The front fabric is a candy cane print with a reindeer appliqued. Free monogramming is also included with this dress as well as two shoulder bows and a matching hair bow. And the two shoulder bows, they are attached to alligator clips (mostly because I don't like the idea of safety pinning anything on clothes for small children) and the plus side of that is that they can also be worn as extra hair bows.

And here is a custom order that I did for a customer with a three letter monogram. I think it turned out really nice! I love custom orders, so if you have an idea for a dress like this or need a specific color or size, just let me know! Just send me a convo on etsy!

Houston, We have a tooth.

Just a few days short of 9 months old, I notice something a little white on the baby's gums. It's true, my big girl is cutting her first tooth! It's hard to see because Ellery doesn't really like me to try to look, but it's there. And I've been calling her "Speed Racer" all morning because of how fast she is crawling now.

I hope to get a picture of the tooth soon, but for now all I have are these really cute pictures of her in this Eeyore costume I bought for her before she was born. I thought it would fit her by Halloween but it's already too snug and short, so I'll have to find another, but at least I got these pictures!

Oops, I did it again, and I hurt my neck.

I think it is apparent after today that I do not mix well with slides. Regular slides, slip and slides, whatever. Slides are bad for me.

I went to two birthday parties today. The first one was very nice. My good friend Christina's baby is two and we had a great time at the park. I acted my age and conversed with my peers. Good McMama.

The second was a duel birthday party for my 7 and 8 year-old-nieces. It was at this inflatable playground place. We had to sign this insurance form and watch this video. One of the things it said is if you are over 6 you must use a mat to use the big slide, this includes adults.

Wait, did you say adults? We can play too? Oh no, I couldn't. I didn't even bring socks. "I brought some extra socks" chimes in my sister-in-law.

Well, all of the other parents would laugh at me.

Then my 12-year-old nephew gets there. I ask him if he is going to slide. "Nah..." he says, sounding disappointed. I really can't let down the nephew. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!)

Infamous last words, "I'll do it if you'll do it".

So here I go, mat in hand. Up, Up, Up to the top. I get to the top of the slide and realize, "Dude, this thing is STEEP!" Oh well, only one way down. I let out a little squeal and hey this thing is pretty fun! That is until I landed.

Crash! Bam! Splat!

Oh holy crap, what have I done?!?! Neck... hurting.... feeling.... faint.... much pain..... muscles cramping.....

And all of this time I'm thinking Don't' you dare pass out, if you pass out it is going to be embarrassing and you signed a waiver!!!!

So I get some guy named Kevin to massage the cramp out of my neck, and oh goody crisis adverted, again!

And since I already had my socks on I might as well do the obstacle course, the jumping room and the air basketball, right?

I am an idiot. Pass me the icy hot.

Dreams

I had a dream about a bunny the other night. He was a cute bunny eating some lettuce. The whole dream I pushed him around in a shopping cart and fed him lettuce.

That dream is not what this post is about.

I dreamt that I was going out to dinner with my friend Susan and evidently we had a very good friend named Rivers, who looked just like Rivers Cuomo from Weezer, but I think his last name was Smith or something and he was from Chesnee.

So we were going out to dinner and we had Ellery with us and somehow we ended up in this really dirty scary bar. I don't know what was more disturbing about the next part, because we decided to stay there and eat or the fact that they actually had high chairs for the baby. The high chair did have some graffiti and skulls on it, but we stayed anyway. We tried to order some food but all they would serve us were cheese fries.

So I'm sitting there talking to Rivers about how much I like hanging out with him because we both share a love of Weezer and how if Ellery had been a boy she would have been named Rivers, blah blah blah...

All of the sudden sirens started going off and people started yelling, "Oh no! Corrosion of Cannibal Death is here!!!" Corrosion of Cannibal Death was evidently some really horrible metal band that took all patrons of this bar hostage and forced them to drink really bad beer. As I started to look around I noticed these stickers that read "Property of C.O.C.D." and other things like this. We tried to leave but they flung our cheese fries to the wall and put this beer on the table called Star Beer or something like that and forced us to drink, and it was bad. I mean, really bad.

We decided to make a run for it. Just then I was stopped, "Bring forth the baby!" said this really scary looking dude. Then some guy who looked an awful lot like that stoner kid Jason Castro from last season's American Idol came over and was all like "Hey I'm Snoop Dog Number 2 and I'm just going to take the baby for the band to see." And I was freaking out and I was like "Snoop Dog Number 2 just took my baby!"

So Rivers Cuomo Smith took us through a room and we found Ellery sitting in a chair eating some peas or something, and we were able to sneak through the back door. Safety at last.

I woke up and realized that I've been under entirely too much stress lately.

Long Time, No Blog

Oh noes! My blog has gone stale!

But it's not my fault, I promise! Lack of internet, followed by my dad having his 8th heart attack and being in the hospital for 8 days is to blame. Thankfully Dad has no further damage from this scare and is back home now. August 20th I will be a real modern girl as I am getting cable internet at my home.

I also haven't had a chance to create anything in weeks. But I do have some things in the works including- Christmas Stockings (with FREE Monogramming), Trick or Treat Bags (with FREE monogramming!), Personalized pony tail holders, and a little something for the South Carolina Street Team Creative Challenge, all I can tell you about that is that the theme is Fall.

So here's me getting back on my proverbial horse.

Fun with Photoshop, Mcmama style.

Vintage Ellery

The other night my mom found a couple of outfits she had saved from when I was a baby. So of course Ellery had to wear this cute halter top outfit. I also found some pictures of myself wearing the same outfit. So this post is for everyone who says that she looks JUST LIKE some guy named Kevin. (insert evil laugh here)

Look at those chubby legs!

My Brain = Mush

I have never been more forgetful in my life as I am right now. A couple of weeks ago my brain was like this creative river- flowing with all kinds of ideas. So many ideas, in fact, that I didn't have enough time to get the things that I wanted to get created. But if I ever take a break, everything shuts down. I drank BBQ sauce out of a bottle the other night at dinner. I was going for my sweet tea. I was looking at RocknRollMcBaby, who was being very loud and trying to eat the table (again), I picked up the BBQ sauce and put the bottle in my mouth. If I get some weird disease now, we'll all know where it came from.

I will remember that I've forgotten something, and say to myself "hey you better remember to do that" and a couple of days later, I'll remember it and the cycle starts over. I just remembered an email that I need to send. I wonder how long it will be before I forget again?

Maybe it's because my Some Guy Named Kevin is working 12 hour nights on 3rd shift again and RocknRollMcBaby thinks that sleeping is for squares, but I would really like to be bright and sharp again.

Wait, what was I talking about? Oh forget it, Let's just look at how cute the little bugger is...

I did the monogramming on that shirt, ;)
